Dr. Donald K. Tressler, chairman of

the AVI Publishing Company of Westport, Conn., which specializes in books on

food science, nutrition and related subjects, died Saturday at Norwalk (Conn.)

Hospital. He was 86 years old and lived in Westport. Dr. Tressler, a specialist

in frozen foods, had a long career in teaching and research before becoming a

publisher in 1956. In 1930 he joined Clarence Birdseye, who was then

quick-freezing fish and meat, as a consultant on the freezing of fruits and

vegetables at the Birdseye Laboratories in Gloucester, Mass. Dr. Tressler

supervised laboratory demonstrations proving that almost all foods could be

frozen satisfactorily. In 1933 he became professor of chemistry and chairman of

the chemical department at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station

of Cornell University in Geneva, N.Y. There he developed and patented a process

that made sherry wine from Concord grape wine by forcing fine bubbles of air or

oxygen into the warm wine. The method, known as the Tressler process, is used

in producing New York State sherries and port wines. In 1942 Dr. Tressler

became a consultant to the General Electric Company in the development of home

freezers. He moved to Wesport, where he established a consulting business. He

was the author and co-author of 21 technical books on food processing and

preservation. He also held 20 patents on the processing of foods and food

products. In addition Dr. Tressler was co-founder of the Institute of Food

Technology and the first editor of its journal, The Journal of Food Technology.
