Dehydration of fresh skim milk is done in one of two ways: 1) spraying the milk into hot air chambers; 2) drying it in thin films on heated rollers. Temperature, in the North method, must be carefully controlled. Milk heated above 159° F. picks up a cooked taste and loses some of its protein value. The dehydrated butterfat is made by centrifuging a mixture of pure butter and water at 185° F.-a temperature which destroys auto-oxidizing enzymes. Both dehydrates will keep for at least two years at any temperature if packed in sterile containers. They...
...process has been offered as a means of supplying A.E.F. and Army camps with sufficient good-quality milk at big savings in money and shipping space, but the post-war possibilities of reconstituted milk are enormous. Many sections of the world, notably the tropics and Far East, have never had adequate milk supplies. The dehydrates can be shipped anywhere as general cargo...
...North also sees a great market for his milk at home if urban consumers can learn to accept reconstituted milk as the real thing and not ersatz. Savings in transportation and refrigeration costs, a flattening of the seasonal production curve could substantially reduce city milk prices...
Hormone Expert Dr. S. J. Folley of the British National Institute for Research in Dairying has announced successful results from experiments to get milk in large quantities from virgin goats. Ordinarily goats do not give milk until they have kidded. But kidding involves energy-consuming gestatory processes which slow milk production and may be undesirable in wartime. Dr. Folley causes virgin goats to develop udders and commence giving milk by treating them with the synthetic hormones diethylstilbestrol and hexestrol. By similar synthetic-hormone magic the quality of milk given by a cow can be controlled to some extent...
...Pique Dame. They raised Steinway Hall's roof with incessant rehearsals. They were out to prove, once & for all, that opera does not have to be sung by middle-aged tenors and bulging contraltos. Between arias, they hotly argued this revolutionary' idea over hamburgers and milk in the 57th Street Automat. To the participants the New Opera is more than opera: it is a crusade. They came from all over the U.S., Canada, Mexico, even Hawaii, picked by audition from thousands of young singers who have applied for a chance to prove that they could sing big-time...
