[Use of freeze-dried products in weightlessness].
The paper describes the manufacture of food products that can be eaten in weightlessness with the aid of regular table-ware. The consistence of products was altered as a result of an addition of water or modified starch. The resultant products were tested during short-term weightlessness aboard the aircraft-laboratory TU-104A. It was demonstrated that in weightlessness products having sufficient viscosity can be eaten with the help of regular table-ware. An addition of thickening agents, e. g. modified starch, helped to obtain products with necessary properties.
