Cottonseed flour may soon be added to ground meat to extend its use. TAMU is doing research on the development of a food protein pro duct from cottonseed. “We are mak ing a protein supplement that can be used in food rather than a protein food,’ said Dr. W. W. Meinke, re search chemist in the Food Protein Research and Development Center. He added that the direct human consumption of cottonseed pro ducts, instead of using them as ani mal feed, would probably yield much greater quantities of food. Textured soy proteins have found extensive use as additives to meat formulations; meat patties, weiners, and chili. Dr. Meinke said a similar product produced from cottonseed flour has shown promise. The po tential of the cottonseed product will be enhanced when a denser product of greater texture is pro duced. “Texture is important because it (cottonseed flour) must hold to gether during the cooking proce dures which involve mixing, grind ing and cooking,’’ Dr. Meinke said. He further noted that greater bulk density will permit the shipment of a greater amount of product-per- unit volume and will tend to reduce visibility of textured cottonseed product in meat formulations. The research, funded by state, federal and industrial funds under contractual arrangement, is based on nontoxic glandless cottonseed flour. Technology for producing food- grade cottonseed flour, cottonseed flour concentrates, protein concen trates and protein isolates has been investigated and has produced re sults that will aid in industrializing these specialized cottonseed flours when they become commercially available, noted Dr. Meinke. He also noted possible advan tages of cottonseed flours over soy bean flours. “Preliminary indica tions suggest that the flavor factor may be less in cottonseed than in soybeans,” Dr. Meinke said. “Due to physical and chemical differences between soy and cottonseed flour, some specific uses could be sug gested and better fulfilled by the cottonseed flour product. “Substituting cottonseed flour for a portion of the wheat flour in cookies, bread or donuts would en hance the protein content of these products and increase nutritive a] SKAGGS > ALBERTSONS DRUGS & FOODS J DELICATESSEN-SNACK BAR HONEY LOAF J" BIG EYE SWISS , 2 s9 PEPPER LOAF ^ J" BBQ SPARE RIBS ,.l 88 i INSTORE BAKERY!

Mattil, director of Food Protein R&D Center; Dr. Carl Cater, head of oilseed products research group; Dr. Meinke, and other senior staff personnel direct and report on the research prog rams of the center. Their findings are reported at sci entific meetings, and TAMU there fore gains recognition as a leader of research in that field. Economic skies clearing; future storms in wind Skies over the economy may be clearer by the nation’s 200th birth day in 13 months, but it may be the calm before the storm of more infla tion, believes a Texas A&M economist. Dr. Robert Ekelund agrees with a forecast by Pennsylvania University economists that there will be an up turn in the national economy by year’s end. The Pennsylvania economists say housing, consumer spending and business capital has been favorably influenced by the rebates and other factors. They also indicate an in crease in the Gross National Pro duct of five or six percent by Oc tober. Consumers and business should expect another 15-20 per cent jump in inflation by late 1976 as “pay ment” for increased production and expansion now, he asserts. He notes that spending has been stimulated by such forces as tax re bates, lower business and personal taxes, easier credit, lower interest rates and ample money. However, such benefits will be “paid” for later as such programs mean less federal revenue while federal spending continues. Ekelund says government is to blame for much of our problems be cause it places rigid controls that don’t allow price drops in relation to lower demand. Instead, unemp loyment goes up and production down. Ekelund cites a six or eight month lag between government expendi tures and price increases, thus the prediction for more inflation by late 1976. Veterans bill signed; back money coming Veterans at Texas A&M Univer sity should begin receiving back payments within a few days, accord ing to the veterans representatives office on campus. Fifteen billion dollars in supple mental funds was freed last Friday by President Ford’s signing of the money bill that had been dead locked three weeks by a fight bet ween the Senate and House over how much to spend for rehabilitat ing roadbeds for railways. The campus office says Veterans Administrator Richard Roudebush has reported the VA has already processed the payments for the 219,279 veterans and all that re mains is the mailing. The bill also included money for checks to 34 million persons on So cial Security and railroad- retirement rolls. Kmbrey’s Jewelry We Specialize In Affffie Rings.
