Novel Processing System for Ration Meat Items (Army)
Abstract
Test the Osmofood® system, a simple one-step process which uses inexpensive ground meat to produce shelf stable meat items with desirable texture. The system does not use extremely high temperature like a retort process; hence, the quality and nutrients are well preserved. Furthermore, the system can be used to incorporate supplemental nutrients (such as tumeric and green tea extract) and quality enhancers (such as canola protein for meat succulence) to produce a meat roll-up that can be consumed as a savory snack or used as a filling for a shelf stable sandwich. This system could be used for numerous new rations items that up to now not possible.
