Food Professors To
Spend 100000, 600
For Research In $50

The nations food professors will
spend 100 million dollars for re-
search in 1859 to give homemak-
ers more and better convenience
foods.
In an address to members of the
Colorado Public Health Associa-
ton. Dr. Robert M. Schaffner, Lib
by, McNeill and Libby Vice Presi-
dent in charge of Research and
Quality Control, estimated rs to
40 per cent of today's food store
sales are from foods that were not
even on the market at the end of
World War H.
There are four to five thousand
new products competing in the
market place each year." he said.
Although many of them fail to
meet the grade. numerous old
standbys are among the casualties
in the battle of convenience foods. :"
Increasingly greater usage of pre-
packed convenience foods has re-
suited from great uniformity of
quality, ease of preparation and
their higher nutritional value, he
said.
Our fast living pace will not per-
nit the American housewife to
spend the hours in the kitchen
that some of her European counter
parts take in preparing gourmet
style dishes"
Professors are always preoccu-
pied with the problem of providing
foods that have all the desirable
characteristics of fresh produce.
The frozen orange juice industry,
he said, has grown because they
have been better able to provide
orange juice with fresh-like' flaw
or thans has the pasteurized canned
industry. He added that Libby, Nc
Neill and Libby have just complet-
ed two-year research and devel-
opment program to recover fruit
essence lost in evaporation of frOz-
ZEN fruit juices. ''.@
1--WE believe that adding back the
aroma and essence will enable US
to market a product that has an
even fresher flavor and aroma than
any now on the market"
The popularity Of convenience
foods is also traceable to superior
packaging, he pointed out. The con-
tainer industry has developed doz-
ems of new types of materials, par
ticularly in the plastic and plas-
tice film fields.
Considerable research is being
done in developing plastic pouches
and envelopes for frozen foods, he
stated. Libby and other companies
have developed pre-coOked, formu-
lated frozen foods in plastic bags.
These products can be quickly heat
ed in boiling water so that, for
example, in ten minutes the house
wife will have main meat dish,
or a vegetable with gourmet type
sauce ready for the table.
1t now appears that this type of
product in many ways will be the
ultimate from the standpoint of
mo fuss-no muss" There is not
even pot to be washed.
DR.. Sehaffner also told how pro-
cessors test their products before
sending them to market. Company
trained taste panels are employed,
examining a wide range of char
acteristics such as taste, flavor, ap-
pearance. consistency. The next
step is testing before a consumer
panel and, lastly, a household PAN
ell, the members of which serve the
product to their families.
