Scientists Get Teeth Into Tough Problem
LONDON, Fri. (11.15 a.m.).— British Government scientists are going to try to find out what makes meat tough. They say it may take them 10 to 15 years to find the answer because no one seems to know exactly what toughness in meat is. All that is known at present is that toughness is unpleasant and is something that affects the quality of meat and causes a surfeit of chewing. The scientists say, when they have solved this problem, they will find a method io make a dinner steak invariably tender. In the meantime, the scientists expect to conquer two other curses of mankind—the corrosion of razor blades, and dry rot.
