We developed a menu for Advanced Life Support (ALS), based on the cultivable crops list on the Closed Ecology Experiment Facilities (CEEF). Recipes of the menu were evaluated using indexes including acceptability, nutritional contents, fresh weight of necessary ingredients, necessary cultivation area of each crop, supplemental seasonings and spices. The results showed that Japanese subjects (n = 10-27) found most of the recipes acceptable. The necessary cultivation area to serve each recipe once a week varied from 0.03 m2 to 11.85 m2. Unexpectedly, the required area of each recipe did not correlate with energy (R2 = 0.02). The most correlated nutrient was lipid (R2 = 0.52). The menu was implemented in a pre-habitation experiment lasting for one week in the CEEF. Average food preparation time was more than 4 hours day-1. These results contribute to development of the cycle-menu and plantation plan for ALS experiments and for future planetary mission planning.
