The primary producers of Australia are exceedingly interested in the invention, or rather a development which has been perfected by young Victorian, Mr. Relph Randell, of Melbourne's suburb, Armadale. The process is aided by air pumps of high efficiency to ensure perfect vacuum and the fresh products which are to be de-hydrated fare placed in the chamber where they are dried rapidly, with.the advantage that they are not exposed to any greater heat than 60 per cent. Fahrenheit. This will result in the excising of all danger of detrimental effect on food stuffs which has previously been resultant on many such when subjected to de-hydration. It proposed to make mushroom" and asparagus flour in the near fut in-a plant which Mr. Randell is having specially - constructed Melbourne, but it is to the larger industry of meat export that it is anticipated the process will eventually. prove to be of most value, and greater utility. Mr, Randell claims for his process that none of the vitamines, nor essential food values will be lost or deteriorated owing to the equable and mild temperature, the process stands the test. of com: mercial application, who knows that Austealia. will' not only fore baying imported 'Bovril,' but will enabled to supply a superior, and cheaply transported form of beet for other countries' benefit.
