Re-Evaluation of Ohmic Heating Technology for Ration Entre Quality Improvement

Abstract

The US Army Natick Soldier, Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), now the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center (CCDC SC) conducted a series of experiments, titled Advanced Thermal Processing of UGR H and S Group Sized Entrees, to explore novel thermal technologies to enhance quality of traditionally retorted ration entrees. This technical report documents a Science and Technology initiative for an advanced thermal processing technology, ohmic heating, to produce shelf stable, high quality, and nutritious ration entrees. The funding for the study came from the Combat Feeding Research and Engineering Board (CFREB) from FY13-FY17.
