How is canned food made? Why is it a strategic commodity?
1.Military canned food has always been an important strategic reserve material of our army, mainly used for plateaus, border island troops and ships to go to sea and other fresh food under difficult circumstances. Military canned food generally uses nutritious, high-quality agricultural products, animal products and aquatic products as raw materials, spices, monosodium glutamate, salt and other condiments, and some also have active substances or functional substances that resist fatigue and enhance physical fitness, and these advantages are of great importance to the officers and soldiers who march and fight, so that the soldiers can always maintain a certain good mental state and be ready to face the enemy's enemy attack at all times. The food consists of grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes and animal foods containing high-quality protein, and there are many types of food, which can be used by officers and men to choose in a variety of ways, and the number of types of canned food for military use has increased to 92, and all kinds of flavors are available.
2.Military cans will select a variety of high-quality raw materials and then put them into the cans to heat, sterilize and sterilize, so that there is a certain pressure difference between the inside and outside of the can, this step can make the cans can be stored for a longer time, and then put the lid on. The last step is to place a large batch of cans in a pressure cooker (several thousand pa) for ripening, and the most critical step here is to maintain a vacuum, which is to drain the air in the can, so that the microorganisms inside can not survive, so that the can can be stored for a longer time.
3.Practice has proved that in wartime, replacing the previous cooking and processing methods of fresh food with military canned food and other military food can reduce the number of cooking personnel by half, effectively increase the distribution of other combat arms, and increase the winning rate of war. Water consumption should be reduced by 40 percent to avoid unnecessary waste of water resources, because water resources in the wild are already difficult to find, and if there is really a water source, if the enemy throws poison into the water, it will be a devastating blow to the officers and men.
4.At present, the U.S. military has also produced a new type of field food called "bag bread," which is now mass-produced and put into consumption. The quality and safety of the bread is guaranteed thanks to the use of controlled water activity, pH and modified atmosphere packaging technology. After 3 years of storage testing, the bread is still fluffy and delicious, and the taste is as good as ever, unlike traditional bread, which will mold after a week.
5.According to the memories of the older generation, in the case of extreme lack of food, they were hungry to eat grass roots and bark, and when they were thirsty, they ate snow, such as General Yang Jingyu until he died, he did not have a grain of grain in his stomach, only undigested grass roots and bark, here please allow me to offer high respect to these soldiers.
6.Fortunately, in our country, there are very few hungry people now, now are trying to find a way, how to eat better, although our country has now become the world's largest canned food producer, a year of exports of nearly 3 million tons, but all this is still inseparable from the anti-Japanese war period of the brave soldiers who killed the enemy, it is because of their sacrifices, our motherland can stand up and become strong to this day.
