Description: 
The work of this institute has been in the field of polymer chemis- 
try. Like the Leningrad Institute, work has been pursued on a streamlined 
method to obtain furfurol, a raw material important in the synthetic-fiber, 
-plastic, and -resin industries. Extensive research on the hydrolysis of 
cotton fiber was carried out prior to 1959, at which time this work was 
transferred to the Institute of Polymer Chemistry associated with the Uzbek 
Academy of Sciences. Published investigations also consider work on the 
hydrogenation of glucose. Members of the Institute participated in the First 
All-Union Conference on Organic Catalysis, held in Moscow, November 16-20, 
1959. A Sbornik Trudov is published.

Description: 
Members of the Institute’s staff have performed extensive research 
in the fields of slaughtering (including preparation of animals for 
slaughter) and meat dressing, processing, storage, and handling. Specifi- 
cally, meat preservation by irradiation and antibiotic treatment have been 
studied, as well as canning procedures for various meats. The latter work
