Dehydrofrozen products com bine the advantages of both fro zen and dehydrated foods. They are lighter and. less bulky than frozen* foods, produce less drip upon thawing, and permit better control of moisture in the final product, which is important to canners and other food proces sors* Dehydrofrozen foods are easier to restore to normal moisture con tent than dned foods, and gen erally have supenoi flavor, tex ture, and color Researchers found that , the irreversible changes in texture which often take place when foods are fully 2nd Highest Individual Leghorn Record in Nation Pa.

Savings in transportation are also important, as three-fourths of all frozen peas are packed in the West, and the biggest markets are east of Chi cago Savings in packaging, how ever, will probably be significant only to bulk packers for institu tional and food processing uses, where packing twice as many peas in the usual size of contain ers will be practical in Pa. <xna r ,rg >»o , Lancaster Farm: PROCESSED POULTRY PHILADELPHIA Oct. 23 Processed poultry, ready-to-cook (ice packed) young chickens offerings moderate to somewhat heavier.
