Synopsis

This book provides a glimpse into the research and development achievements of the United States Department of Agriculture's Eastern Utilization Research and Development Division over its first 25 years. It begins by emphasizing the organization's commitment to utilizing farm products, primarily those in surplus, to expand their applications. The book covers various aspects of food processing, including research on potato flakes, pumpkin powder, fruit essences, powdered fruit juices, dried honey, and dehydrated fruits and vegetables. The author also discusses non-food-related developments such as the extraction of tannin from canaigre, rutin from buckwheat, low-temperature fractionation of animal fats, and the production of rubber from Russian dandelion. By delving into the details of these innovations, this book not only offers insights into the multifaceted nature of food processing but also underscores the role of research in driving advancements in this field.
