Why S.O.S. food rations? Because we have...
... the lightest and most compact emergency food ration. S.O.S. products require 20% less space and weigh less than other products with equivalent caloric content. ... an inexpensive and economical product with superior quality ... significant savings for compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and International Maritime Requirements regarding survival rations. ... dramatic savings of 10% - 37% over other products for transportation, handling and storage costs due to reduced weight and volume. ... baked products which are healthier and more palatable than compressed, uncooked products. ... drastically reduced sugar-derived calories to 15% of total energy. By contrast, obsolete emergency food packets have added sugar cubes or tablets to supply 27% - 47% of total calories. ... excellent sensory properties of taste, flavor, color, texture, aroma and palatability are developed only from careful formulation and baking of selected natural ingredients. ... sufficient carbohydrates (56% wt) and high caloric density (5.5 kcal/gm ; 23.1 kj/gm) to prevent keto-acidosis resulting from metabolism of body fat due to prolonged hunger. Keto-acidosis is caused by a change in metabolism which makes the body's pH become acidic (rather than neutral), affecting the organs. ... restricted protein (4.9%) and low sodium (29 mg/ser.) which reduce physiological body-water requirements, minimizing thirst and urination, preventing dehydration, improving morale and prolonging life expectancy. ... food components which are compatible with drinking water restrictions typical of rescue conditions, and are NOT gas-forming, costive or cathartic. ... convenient to eat survival food rations which can be consumed either dry, or mashed with water when normal chewing is impaired. Low moisture content prevents freezing problems under extremely cold weather conditions. ... assured reliability; due to excessive technical experience in development and manufacture of specialized nutritional and confectionary bakery products since 1967.
Design Criteria
The effectiveness of the food is specifically influenced by its compatibility with a limited availability of potable water, and its survival value usually increases in importance the longer rescue is delayed.
The development of food packets must rationalize the conflicting requirements of water restriction, minimum nutritional availability, improved nitrogen balance with reduced body-N utilization (which requires 40-60 cc of water/gm urea-N), and low protein and sodium to maximize the physiological efficiency of water usage. Additional design parameters must also include a supply of sufficient carbohydrates and calories to prevent keto-acidosis and dehydration, conserving body fluids.
Other important considerations include minimizing weight and space requirements. Special packaging is utilized to increase durability and to ensure product quality in extreme climatic and storage conditions for a period of up to 5 years.
