6. NOTES
6.1 Ordering data. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this document.
b. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.2 Appropriate level of pack. Based on the conditions known or expected to be encountered
during shipment, handling, and storage of the specific item being procured, the contracting
officer should select the appropriate level of pack in accordance with the criteria established in
AR-700-15/NAVSUPINST 4030.28/ AFR 71-6/MCO 4030.14 D or DSAR 4145.7, as
applicable.
6.3 Homogenization. In practice it has been found that effective homogenization has been
obtained by homogenizing at a temperature of between 125° F to 135° F (52° C to 57° C) and at
a pressure of 1500 psig using single stage or 1500/500 psig on two-stage homogenizers.
Homogenization must precede the pasteurization.
6.4 Storage and shelf-life. The product has a long shelf-life and has been found to be acceptable
after one-year storage at 100° F (38° C). Storage in a cool dry location will improve stability and
will increase acceptability when subjected to long storage. Product should not be stored in open
containers since the product will readily pick up moisture, resulting in lumping and the
possibility of microbial spoilage. Product which has been stored at elevated temperature may
show slightly distended ends because of thermal expansion of the packing gases.
