Fortified Frozen Peaches Show Superior Quality
Fortified peaches with vitamin C scored higher for flavor and color than peaches frozen in syrup alone, while vitamin C preserved peaches outperformed those frozen with citric acid.

Promising Ready to Use Frozen Potatoes and Starfish as Feed

Green Mountain potatoes were tested in multiple preparations, thawed after 10 days and again after four months, with tasters finding flavor and texture promising though needing refinement. Separately, starfish meal fed to chicks provided a competitive protein source, modest in quantity but beneficial when used in small amounts for poultry diets amid protein shortages.
