Section 2
The canned mackerel/had to meet the requirements/of JAXA. There were two main difficulties/in making the canned mackerel.
The first difficulty was/to make a sticky sauce. When astronauts eat,/liquid should not float around/in the space station. After many attempts,/the students found a solution. They added kudzu starch/to the sauce. It finally became sticky enough.
The second difficulty/was the taste. In space,/astronauts’ sense of taste/may become dull. So/space food needs to have a strong flavor. The students tried to figure out/the best level of flavor/without actually going to space. They made many samples/with different amounts/of soy sauce and sugar/to find the best balance. Finally,/they agreed on a recipe.
