Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Between 1930 and 1956, the production of soybeans in the United States rose from about 14 million to over 400 million bushels a year. With the production area in the Middle West expanding both north and south, and with the substitution of soybeans for crops under acreage control, further increases can be expected. In anticipation of such increases, a study was undertaken to try to locate new markets for soybean products . The heretofore unexplored market provided by residential-type institutions appeared to have potentials for the use of protein-seed meals in food, as the population of these institutions had been rising steadily. To appraise the need for and the practical value of the use of soybean products, a study was made of the quantity, cost, and nutritive content of food used during a 28-day period in the winter and a similar period in the summer of 1952 in 16 public and private institutions in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the United States . Among these were homes for the aged, children's homes, and mental and penal institutions. Similar data were collected on a "pilot" basis in 3 general hospitals in the Northeast during the winter of 1953.
