The Eastern Utilization Research Division conducts research at the following
locations on (a) improved products and processing methods for milk and milk
products; (b) control of possible toxins and allergens of milk and milk products;
(c) improved processing of meat and meat products; (d) microbiology of meat with
emphasis on the relation of the microflora to oxidative rancidity; (e) determine
the processing potential of new varieties of potatoes through laboratory and
pilot plant investigations and on the effect of varieties and cultural practices
on the quality of commercial forms of processed potatoes.
