COMPRESSED FOOD
AUSTRALIAN RESEARCH
(Rec. 11 a.m.) MELBOURNE, January 26. Dietetic research officers attached to the R.A.A.F. have been experimenting with the production of compressed emergency rations for issue to all R.A.A.F. crews. As a basis for comparison these officers have analysed Japanese naval emergency rations. The enemy samples, dropped in edible rice i paper, came from the Yokohama' navy stores. The ration is highly compressed, being about a quarter of the size of the present Australian emergency ra'aon, which •is packed in a "hundred" cigarette tin. The Japanese ration comprises five compressed cubes containing glucose, butter, dried milk, peanuts, and some small seeds. The taste is described as "vaguely Oriental."
