NEWS NOTES
Ice cream stored in a home
freezer does much better if it is
“overwrapped” in aluminum foil.
“The use of the overwrap pre
serves the fine quality and tex
ture of the ice craem,” it was not
ed by the University of Alaska Co
operative Extension Service. Evi-^
dence of this advantage is a re
cent study of the Minnesota Re
search Department of Dairy In
dustry.
Four cartons of ice cream were
stored in the same freezer for
five weeks. The cartons put in
without overwrap emerged with
the ice cream being course grain
ed and “icy.” Those with the alu- j
minum protective foil retained !
the original quality.
“Tthe foil keeps the tempera- i
ture down and reflects the ra
diant heat from the warmer sur
faces within the cabinet,” the
Extension Service said.

Scientists Working T
On Dry Whole Milk
]
The day may not be far off, (
say U. S. Department of Agricul- ^
ture scientists, when consumers j
will be able to buy a dry whole
milk that mixes readily with ;
either warm or cold water, tastes
like fresh milk and is just as j<
nutritious, keeps for long time j,
without refrigeration, and sells atj
an attractive price.
Scientists of USDA’s Agricul
tural Research Service have suc
ceeded in producing, experimen
tally, dry whole milk crystals
that reconstitute readily in water
to give milk comparable in flavor
and food value to that fresh from
the dairy. However, these cry
stals still have shortcomings:,
Their relative bulk, plus the fact
they must be packaged in pres
ence of nitrogen gas—a relative
y expensive operation, stands in
vay of efficient packaging. They
ceep their good flavor for two
>r three months at room tempera
ture, but that isn’t good enough
to meet commercial requirements.
\lso, process for making them
las yet to be adapted for low
est dairy industry operation. But
success achieved to date makes
researchers optimistic regarding
product’s eventual perfection.
