Increased Density for Military Foods

Abstract

The objective of these studies was the reduction of food weight and volume while maintaining overall quality, nutritional value, stability and acceptability. Three research and development approaches were pursued: Reversible compression of foods for consumption only in a reconstituted state; Nonreversible compression of foods for consumption only in the compressed state; and, Dual purpose compression of foods for consumption either in the more dense form or after reconstitution to a familiar form.
