USDA Develops a Fully Cooked Food-aid Product

A fully cooked food-aid product called Instant Corn Soy Blend that supplements meals, particularly for young, has been developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists.

The work was led by food technologist Charles Onwulata at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Dairy Processing and Products Research Unit at the agency's Eastern Regional Research Center (ERRC) in Wyndmoor, Pa.

Super-Food Supplements may Raise Diabetes Risk: Study
Super-food supplements may raise the risk of developing diabetes, experts have warned.

Onwulata worked with a team of USDA scientists, program managers, policy administrators and international aid agencies for more than a decade while developing the new emergency aid meal.

Onwulata developed the new food product using the same type of machines that are used to make fully cooked puffed snacks and cereals.

The extrusion technology, used to make Instant Corn Soy Blend, cooks food completely in a short period of time under high heat and high pressure.

Food Supplements During Pregnancy
During pregnancy nutrients, vitamins and minerals are needed more by the body. Most of these nutrients can be covered with a balanced diet.

The crunchy, fully cooked product exits the extruder through an opening at the end of the machine in less than two minutes.

The resulting Instant Corn Soy Blend is then crushed and milled to form the ration.
