BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,

Associated Press Science Editor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. IA
Saving of household food in wartime
can be helped with some new in
formation on distasteful flavors
picked up in refrigerators.
The experiments, made by Ernest
C. Crocker Of Arthur D. Little, Inc.
Cambridge, show that the more
moisture there is in refrigerator air
the less do odors contaminate the
food.
| They show when and how cover.
ings or wrappings will stop thu
spelling that comes from picking
up, or giving of, bad smells.
The most active smell-givers were
found to be boiled onions, ripe can.
teloupes, overlooked cabbage, cauli.
flower, brussels sprouts, smoked
meats, and some lots of lemons and
cucumbers- especially when cut.
The foods most easily contanli-
mated were cottage cheese, cream
cheese and mashed potatoes. Next
in line were cooked lima beans and
corn.
Boiled onions were not only bad
contaminators of other foods, but
themselves were rather easily con.
taminated. The cooked food least
easily contaminated was roast beef
The smells taken up by nonliquid
foods usually occurred only on the
surface, and could be removed by
scraping away a thin outer layer
Also, contamination often was di-
luted to nonimportance by stirring
the container of food. Foods heated
before serving usually lost objcc-
tionable picked-up odors. These
smells evaporated in the heating.
