A dry ration has been created, which allows you to hold out without water in the open sea

Russian scientists have developed a special dry ration for sailors in distress. For its use

no water is required, and therefore it is easier to absorb by the body. In addition, such dry food facilitates the body’s recovery after dry, anhydrous fasting.

According to senior researcherLaboratory of Solid State Chemistry of the ICHTM SB RAS, Alexey Bychkov, the researchers decided to apply mechanically activated hydrolysis to the products. With its help, proteins and carbohydrates in dry food products are broken down into simpler compounds.

This process also occurs in the body whenassimilation of food. But he needs water, which is in great shortage during disasters on the high seas. With a lack of fluid in the body, human blood thickens strongly, blood clots form, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

By consuming new dry rations, a person is more likely to wait for help and recover from a shipwreck.
