Ice Cream
Lancaster Farming, Saturday. Dec 20.1975 —
frozen food case is above 0
degrees F.
Buy frozen foods last
Just before going to the
checkout counter, if possible
Have frozen foods packed
together in one bag or use
insulated bags Go directly
home and place the frozen
foods in your home freezer
immediately
When you serve ice cream,
don't leave it out to soften
Instead, use a scoop you’ve
heated in hot water Return
the ice cream container to
the freezer immediately
after dishing out servings
Manufacturers of frozen
dairy desserts keep the
products at minus 20 degrees
to minus 40 degrees F This
prevents the ice crystal
formation. At these tem
peratures, ice cream will
have good quality, flavor and
texture for more than a year.
If you plan to keep frozen
dairy desserts at home for
more than two weeks, set
your freezer colder than 0
degrees F.

WASHINGTON - Use of
decentralized plants for
initial processing of
tomatoes can cut costs and
improve waste disposal,
according to a US.
Department of Agriculture
report
A plant location model
developed by the Depart
ment’s Economic Research
Service (ERS) was used to
lest the economic feasibility
of satellite processing
plants Fresh tomatoes are
inspected, sorted, washed,
and made into Juice for
shipment to the central
cannery for final for
mulation of products such as
juice and catsup. One
satellite plant, for example,
200 miles from the central
plant, could save $209,000 per
year under California
conditions, ERS claims.
Reductions in miles hauled
and in product deterioration
were two factors producing
the savings, according to
ERS. Initial processing
closer to the fields also
allows solid and liquid waste
disposal in harvested fields
or sanitary landfills.
Costs for establishing a 50-
ton-per-hour satellite plant
were estimated to be ap
proximately $1.2 million,
using 1974 prices. The in
vestment recovery period is
about years if the
satellite replaces existing
central plant capacity, ERS
notes.
