Abstract:
Reported are the procedures and results of a six-months storage stability study conducted with precooked beef, chicken, carrots and spinach which had been freeze-dried to 2 and 4 residual moisture levels and stored under 2, 4, and 20 oxygen atmosphere at 100F. Exposure to oxygen was the primary cause of product deterioration. The effect of residual moisture level and length of storage on quality attributes was product dependent.
