  However, since a sheet containing an antibacterial agent such as a horseradish extract is usually disposable only once, there is a stigma that is relatively expensive for use in, for example, a daily lunch box. Moreover, if it tries to reuse it, an antibacterial effect will fall and sufficient antibacterial effect cannot be expected. Further, for example, in the case of a sheet using a horseradish extract as an antibacterial agent, such a sheet cannot be used when an allergic reaction is caused to wasabi or a horseradish odor is disliked.

  On the other hand, lunch boxes and containers made of synthetic resin containing antibacterial agents and antifungal agents not only have a decrease in antibacterial and antifungal effects during use, but also depend on the antibacterial and antifungal agents used. In the case of a lunch box that is used almost every day, for example, an allergic reaction is caused, and there is also anxiety about safety.

Further, the antibacterial effect can be increased or decreased to a desired level by increasing or decreasing the storage amount of the antibacterial agent.

  By providing small protrusions on the outer surface of the container body or lid, a gap is formed by the small protrusions even when in contact with food, and this gap also becomes a passage for antibacterial components, and the antibacterial components are diffused to the surroundings through this passage. The In addition, for example, even if it comes in contact with sugar beet, fruit, etc., it does not adhere to the entire surface, but only touches partly through small protrusions, so that air permeability can be secured and deterioration of freshness of sugar beet, etc. is prevented. . Even if a groove is provided instead of a small protrusion on the outer surface of the container body or the lid, the groove serves as a passage for the antibacterial component and ensures air permeability, so that substantially the same effect can be obtained.

  The through-hole is preferably provided on the side wall and / or lid of the container body from the viewpoint of the release and release of the antibacterial component.

  In addition, by making the through hole into a tapered through hole whose diameter increases from the inside to the outside, the antibacterial agent housed inside is difficult to leak out of the container, and the antibacterial components generated from the antibacterial agent inside are outside. It is preferable because it is easily released.

  The antibacterial agent is selected from natural antibacterial agents such as wasabi, mustard, ginger, sansho, dried plum, hinokitiol, chitosan, etc. Can be used as a seasoning, for example, when eating a bento. Therefore, the container for antibacterial agents of the present invention is particularly suitable for use in a lunch box. These extracts can be used for wasabi, mustard, ginger, sansho, umeboshi, and the like.

  The container for antibacterial agents of the present invention comprises a container main body and a lid for housing the antibacterial agent, and has a through hole for releasing antibacterial components in the container main body and / or the lid.

  The antibacterial container of the present invention may be made of metal, resin, or the like, but is preferably made of resin from the viewpoint of moldability, cost, and the like. Examples of such resins include, but are not limited to, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polystyrene resins, vinyl chloride resins, polyamide resins, polyester resins, ABS resins, and AS resins.

  The antibacterial container of the present invention is of a size that can accommodate about 1 to 2 g of the antibacterial agent, depending on the type of antibacterial agent and the desired degree of antibacterial properties. In addition, the shape is not particularly limited, and may be any of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a polygon, etc., but the shape in which the bottom of the container and the lid bulge in an arc shape is easy to place in food, Moreover, when providing the through-hole for antimicrobial component discharge | release in a cover body or a bottom part, it is preferable at the point from which the discharge | release property of an antimicrobial component and a dispersibility are favorable. In addition, the shape of animals such as dogs, cats, frogs, bears, elephants, monkeys, fruits such as apples, bananas, pears, and watermelons, and characters that appear in anime, etc., enhances decorativeness and taste. May be. The lid body is preferably one that can be opened and closed by a hinge, but may be one that is attached to the container body by crimping or screws.

  The through-hole for releasing the antibacterial component is preferably provided in the side wall or the lid of the container body, and more preferably in both of them. Furthermore, it can also be provided at the bottom of the container as required. The shape of the through hole is not particularly limited, and may be any of a circle, a rectangle, a polygon, and the like.

  The size of the through-hole for releasing the antibacterial component depends on the type and shape of the antibacterial agent stored in the container body, but in the case of a granular antibacterial agent, the granular antibacterial agent does not leak outside. It is necessary to be the size of. Also, in the case of antibacterial agents that have been paste-like like kneaded wasabi and kneaded mustard, or in a state of being grated with a lowering metal such as ginger and wasabi, if the size of these antibacterial agents does not leak to the outside, for example A slit-shaped one may also be used.

  In general, it is preferable to provide a large number of small-diameter through holes for releasing antibacterial components from the viewpoint of prevention of antibacterial agent leakage and release. In addition, the through hole for releasing the antibacterial component is preferably a tapered through hole whose diameter increases from the inside toward the outside. By using such a through hole, the inside has a small diameter, Since the antibacterial agent is difficult to leak out of the container and expands toward the outside, the ventilation resistance is reduced, and therefore, the release and release properties of the antibacterial component from the antibacterial agent are promoted.

  Moreover, it is preferable to provide a small protrusion on the outer surface of the container body and / or the lid. By providing such small protrusions, even when in contact with food, a gap is formed between the container and the food by the small protrusion, and this gap serves as a passage for the antibacterial component. It will be dissipated to the periphery through this passage.

In addition, for example, when the bottom of the container is not provided with a through hole for releasing the antibacterial component, the antibacterial component is not released from the bottom. . However, when the antibacterial container of the present invention is placed in food, for example, sugar beet, the bottom of the container will be in contact with the sugar beet, but if the bottom is not provided with a small protrusion, The bottom part will be in close contact with the sugar beet, and if it is in close contact for a long time, it will not come into contact with the air, so the freshness of the sugar beet may be reduced. In such a case, if there is a small protrusion on the bottom, the bottom will be in point contact with the sugar beet and the small protrusion, and air permeability is ensured, so such a problem is solved.
Even if a concave groove is provided in place of the small protrusion, substantially the same effect can be obtained.

  The antibacterial agent housed in the container for antibacterial agents of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is an antibacterial agent used for lunch boxes and food containers. Natural products are preferred from the viewpoint of safety, and among these, foods such as wasabi, mustard, ginger, sansho and dried plum are particularly suitable because they can be used as seasonings.

  Hinokitiol is extracted from Hinoki family trees such as Aomori Hiba, Taiwan Hinoki, Asunaro, and is also approved as a preservative for food additives, and has been confirmed to be safe and effective against antibacterial and atopic diseases. It has been reported.
