A Preliminary Study of the Effects of Cold Storage on Eggs, Quail, and Chickens (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book provides a detailed examination of food preservation through the lens of cold storage in the early 1900s. Published in 1908 under the authority of the US Congress, the book results from a directive to the Secretary of Agriculture to research the effects of cold storage on the wholesomeness of food for the benefit of producers, storage operators, and consumers alike. The author examines the legal landscape of the time as it relates to food storage, shares information gathered from a survey of cold storage warehousemen, and analyzes the results of scientific investigations undertaken to assess qualitative and chemical changes that occur during cold storage of different foods. The findings pertain to foods including quail, eggs, chickens, apples, pears, potatoes, celery, and more. The analyses include organoleptic tests, bacteriological examination, and histological studies. The author provides background on scientific understanding of the time regarding how cold temperatures preserve food, inhibit bacterial growth, and slow chemical reactions. The book concludes with a summary of the findings and their implications for the cold storage industry and for consumers.
