Dr. Hazel K Stiebeling talks about research in the field of food and nutrition.
'Research for Better Living': A Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics Service (United States Department of Agriculture) film on research work performed by the Bureau. Chief of the Bureau Dr. Hazel K Stiebeling talks about research in the fields of food and nutrition, textiles and clothing, housing and household equipment, and family economics. The Beltsville Research Center in Maryland. Large colonial styled brick building. Technicians work on food preparation and preservation inside a laboratory. They process and can vegetables and run various domestic science experiments. A food specialist compares the braising of meat with and without water. She puts the meat into containers on the stove. A researcher prepares a braised turkey leg to be served for judging. Technicians peel potatoes and insert a device to measure temperature. Trained judges from the laboratory staff taste frozen strawberries and write their verdict. A technician measures the tenderness of a berry with an apparatus. In the kitchen, technicians work to improve large quantity recipes. Technicians chop and weigh carrots, puts them into an institutional cooker and stirs. The prepared food is tried by school children. Children serve themselves and eat the food seated at a table in the school cafeteria.
Technicians use live, chemical and physical tools to measure nutrition value at the Beltsville Research Center in Maryland.
Research work by the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics Service (United States Department of Agriculture). Chief of the Bureau Dr. Hazel K Stiebeling talks about research in the field of food and nutrition at the Beltsville Research Center in Maryland. Laboratory technicians compare the nutritive value of foods. They measure the growth of a chicken using a machine, and that of a rat using an apparatus. A technician measures certain vitamins and amino acids using micro organisms in test tubes. Technicians use chemical methods to measure Vitamin C and small food proportions. A photoelectric calorimeter is used to measure carbohydrates in a food.
Technicians use various machines to measure properties of knitted fabric.
Domestic science research work by the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics Service (United States Department of Agriculture). Chief of the Bureau Dr. Hazel K Stiebeling talks about research in the field of textile and clothing. A man brings samples of knitted fabric to women working at a table. A woman lays the samples out. A technician uses a machine to test the fabric for elastic recovery, breaking strength, air permeability, moisture absorption. She tests stretch and comeback by applying tension with weights. A machine used to show how much rubbing a fabric can stand.
Researchers design functional house dresses and perform experiments for care of clothing.
Domestic arts and sciences and home economics research work by the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics Service (United States Department of Agriculture). Chief of the Bureau Dr. Hazel K Stiebeling talks about research in the field of textile and clothing. A woman researcher examines a garment on a table. Another researcher uses a machine to measure strength of various button holes. A machine is used to measure stitch strength. Fashion designers and tailors work on functional house dresses and aprons. The clothing specialist works out an idea with muslin on a dress from. She tries out the design on a live model. A designer cuts a pattern and another readies it for a final test. A functional house dress designed by the Bureau. Care of clothing: Testing of various soaps and detergents. A woman reaches for home laundry detergent in a cabinet. Women use a machine designed to soil fabric samples uniformly in order to compare detergents and soaps. Women cut the fabric into strips, light reflection. A researcher prepares the samples for laundry. She puts the samples into the laundrometer.
Researchers test household equipment like washing machines, electrical ovens and home freezers.
Research work by the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics Service (United States Department of Agriculture). Chief of the Bureau Dr. Hazel K Stiebeling talks about domestic science research in the field of household equipment. A researcher put clothes into a washing machine. Another woman takes notes. Fabric sample are uniformly soiled, cut and sown onto muslin. The researcher records temperature while putting the clothes in. A woman checks the amount of dirt removed by measuring the reflected light before and after the laundry. Cooking: A woman researcher develops a standardized cake recipe to test baking performance of an electric oven. She lays the batter in pans into the oven. Judges measure the upper and lower limits of browning compared to a reference cake. Engineering test of home freezers in a laboratory. The researchers load freezer with filled cartons. Some have thermocouples inserted. A researcher checks meters and time clocks for current, energy consumption and freezer motor measurements. Researchers compare the amount of two fuels used to cook a farm family meal. (Some scenes with camera closeups have the look of 1940s and 1950s era "housewife" or homemaker scenes)
Space requirement tests and approval of housing plans as a part of the housing research.
Research work by the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics Service (United States Department of Agriculture). Chief of the Bureau Dr. Hazel K Stiebeling talks about housing research. Domestic science tests on space requirements for kitchen work in the experimental housing laboratory. A researcher checks for the amount of space required to do an efficient job of home canning. An architect completes the perspective drawing for a farm house. The Regional Committee selects a group of plans. Architects and draftsmen prepare the working drawings. Architects and housing specialists check the drawings for functionality.
