Experiments on prolonging fruit freshness at Kew lab
Tests at the Kew laboratory immersed small fruits and berries in a seven percent formalin solution for ten minutes then rinsed and dried. Ripe specimens remained in good condition for four to seven days longer than untreated fruit. Strawberries and grapes stayed sound for four days after mouldy fruit appeared. cherries and gooseberries lasted seven days longer. Other methods showed limited effect compared with formalin treatment.

New Drying Method For Fruits And Vegetables At Waukesha
A new mothint of drying fruit and vegetables adopted near Wisconsin has shown success. The process dries produce in 25 to 30 hours after harvest in a predicine district with farmer contracts. A plant handling 250000 to 350000 bushels yearly would cost about £5000 to erect, with higher annual working expenses. US military tests find cooked dried rhubarb and similar items indistinguishable from fresh when dried. Various patented moves exist, but key details are not public.
