...paper explained that blue crab canning has heretofore been impracticable because the crabs have unstable protein molecules, which, in the heat required for canning, release copper, cause blue copper oxide to form. By dipping the meat in a solution of sodium chloride, lactic acid and aluminum salts, the new process seals the copper into the crab proteins...
Blue Channel Corp. has patented its process, is still the only firm in the country packing blue crabs in sealed cans. Its factory at Port Royal, S. C. buys the crabs during the day from sleepy Negro fishermen, packs them before the next dawn-150 cases a night...

S. canned pack of 648,000 pounds. Significant, therefore, is the Blue Channel Corp.'s process, because it offers a new source to satisfy the U. S. appetite for crabmeat, which far exceeds the domestic supply: in 1937 the U. S. imported over 11,000,000 Ibs. of crabmeat (for more than $3,000,000), over 75% of it from Japan...

Up to now chemists have regarded such compounds as indifferent to one another, capable at best of being shotgunned into chemical matrimony by violent stimulants, high temperatures and great pressures. These strongarm methods, even when successful, are wasteful. In the Calingaert process the new molecules slide together without fuss...
