Evaluation of Trial Procurement of Reversibly Compressed Freeze-Dried Foods

Abstract

Six types of reversibly compressed combination food bars were produced by Oregon Freeze-Dry Company. The bars were then stored for one year at 4.4, 21.1 and 38.0 deg C and evaluated at three month intervals for organoleptic evaluation, break score, rehydration ratio and rehydration scores. These bars meet many requirements for patrol type applications when food volume must be reduced to a minimum. However, most of the bars need improved texture and/or rehydration to make them as generally acceptable as Long Range Patrol Type foods.
