- Summary:
- While much information is available in the rapidly growing literature on frozen foods, recommendations reaching users of home freezers are often contradictory or lack adequate research basis. The Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics felt that a critical review of methods recommended for the preservation of foods by freezing and storage in home freezers and freezer locker plants would be of value in promoting uniformity in recommended procedures and directing further research into those areas where available information is incomplete or conflicting. To make a critical evaluation of recommended procedures, the Bureau sponsored a Conference on Home Freezing, which was held March 14-17, 1949, in Washington, D. C, and attended by food-freezing specialists from institutions around the country. In preparation for this conference, several members of the Bureau staff collaborated in reviewing recent literature on food freezing. From the assembled information the following classified notes were developed.
