Biocidal Packaging System This invention relates to improvements in retarding unwanted biological growth in food packaging particularly in retarding fungal or mould growth in packaged fruit s especially table grapes.
Background to the invention Where table grapes are stored for prolonged periods or where they are transported l0 over long distances, the continued or repeated application of a fungicide to slow the growth of Botrytis mould is required.
Australian patent 565243 disclosed incorporating a fungicide in a packaging film of polyethylene and heating the film to release the fungicide. Australian patent 646013 discloses a wrapping film for use in retarding fungal decay of citrus fruits which incorporates a fungicide in a first resin layer of a high melt temperature [170- 240 0 C] and then blending it with a second resin of lower melt temperature. This ensures that the fungicide is released slowly.
In Australia the current method of control is to package table grapes in a waxed corrugated cardboard box having an inner plastic liner bag. A sulphur dioxide releasing pad or sachet is placed inside the package. Such a system is disclosed in USA patent 3559562. Although this has given satisfactory results there are a number of disadvantages. The rate of release of sulfur dioxide is not well controlled especially if there are temperature fluctuations during storage. High levels of Sulfur dioxide cause bleaching of the grapes with the consequence that their sale price is lowered. Further, high residue levels of sulfite in the grapes can cause health problems for a proportion of the population. Another difficulty with the present method is the localized release of sulfur dioxide within the package resulting in considerable variation of sulfur dioxide concentration.
It is an object of this invention to provide a means of releasing sulfur dioxide at a constant or zero order rate so that a minimally effective dosage rate can be achieved to reduce the disadvantages of using sulfur dioxide.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (Rule 26) (RO/AU) WO 00/03930 Pr"T/A Iaai/nn6A 2 Brief description of the invention To this end the present invention provides a block, pad or film of a polymer blend which contains at least one polymer having a substantially different water transmission rate to at least one other polymer in the blend and there being dispersed through the polymer blend an antifungal agent activated by the presence of moisture.
This invention is predicated on the discovery that the release rate of water activated fungicides such as sodium metabisulfite can be controlled by controlling the proportions of polymers having high and low water transmission rates. This invention is predicated on the realisation that there are two polymer properties which affect the release rate of sulfur dioxide, the rate at which water particularly water vapour penetrates the polymer to contact the bisulfite and the rate of transmission of the sulfur dioxide through the polymer. This discovery means that slow release preparations can now be provided that have a lower release of sulfur dioxide without being below the concentration which inhibits fungal growth. The release rate can also be adjusted to suit the rate required by different fruit varieties. The property of the polymers most useful in determining the blend components is the water vapour transmission rate [WVTR] Where the water activated fungicide is sodium metabisulfite the polymer blend preferably is processable at temperatures below 1500C which is the decomposition temperature of the sodium metabisulfite. Potassium metabisulfite as the fungicide allows processing temperatures below 190 °C to be used but it has a slower release rate and a lower overall conversion per mole.
The polymer blend is preferably an olefine polymer with a polymer containing hydrophillic groups. The ratio of hydrophobic to hydrophillic polymer can be determined by simple trials. Preferably the polymer blend includes an ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer EVA] as the polymer with high release rate and a linear low density polyethylene[LLDPE] as the polymer with a low water release rate. A blend of these two polymers EVA LLDPE within the range of 30:70 to 80:20 is usually effective. Preferred blends contain equal amounts of EVA and LLDPE or 70% EVA and 30% LLDPE.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (Rule 26) (RO/AU) WO 00/03930 1Dd'r' I rnn I /Inel .3 U YY /VU3O'4 The fungicide can be any active fungicide that allows the active agent to migrate through the polymer in a sustained manner. Water activated fungicides are preferred for the polymer blend of this invention. Sulfur dioxide generating agents are preferred and in particular bisulfite compounds the most preferred being sodium metabisulfite. The metabisulfite is in finely divided form, but there is no criticality to the particle size of the compound. The amount of the metabisulfite in the polymer blend must be sufficient to maintain a sustained release of sulfur dioxide over a period of up to 8 weeks. Usually a content of 10% to 30% by weight has been found to be adequate.
l0 The metabisulfite can be mixed with one of the polymer components an then blended with the second polymer. This is not critical and the lower processing temperature is the key to selecting the steps in blending. With EVA LDPE blends it is preferred to form a master batch of metabisulfite with EVA and then blend this with LDPE in the desired ratio to form the film.
The film of this invention can be used as a single film or as one layer in a laminate or coextruded multilayer film. The reason for doing this can be to improve the strength of the film, its printability or to modify the water transmission rates of the film. It is preferred to coextrude the EVA/LDPE blend containing the metabisulfite with LDPE. The LDPE layer provides a better printing surface and becomes the outside layer and decreases the penetration of water vapour from outside of the box.
In another aspect of this invention there is provided a package for transporting and storing fruit preferably table grapes which includes 1. a container; 2. optionally a water absorbent material lining said container; 3. optionally, a plastic liner between the container walls and said absorbent material; 4. disposed adjacent the fruit a film pad or block of a polymer blend containing a moisture activated antifungal agent wherein the polymer includes at least one polymer having a water transmission rate substantially different to that of at least one other polymer of said blend.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (Rule 26) (RO/AU) WO 00/03930 T ~A nr r^/ 4 r% U UIIAUYIUq It has been found that the presence of a water absorbent material such as corrugated paper wadding appears to stabilize the release rate of sulfur dioxide presumably by reducing the humidity levels in the container. Some wadding materials may also act as a sink for sulfur dioxide.
Detailed description of the invention Example 1 Polymer blends of 30% Low density polyethylene [LDPE] with 70 of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol[EVA] {liner 1}and 50% LDPE with EVA,[liner 2] each containing 15% sodium metabisulfite, were formed into film and converted to liner bags for grape boxes.
These were then tested as box liners in a field trial using Thompson seedless grapes. Grapes picked the previous day and stored in the cool room were packed in boxes with conventional high density polyethylene liners [HDPE] and the liners of this invention. All boxes were returned open to the coolroom and left till the grapes reached <2 0 C. Bags were then closed and the lids added with addition of SO2 pads to the conventionally lined boxes and corrugated wadding as required.
The 54 boxes were loaded onto a pallet and trucked overnight. On arrival they were split into sub-trials and subjected to two different storage regimes 1. a temperature profile simulating air freight from Melbourne to an Asian destination 2. a temperature profile simulating sea freight from Melbourne to an Asian destination Air freight simulation The treatments in this subtrial were AA PE liner with SO2 pad [Oskuvid] plus corrugated wadding AB PE liner with corrugated wadding AC liner 1 with corrugated wadding AD liner 2 with corrugated wadding Each treatment had six replicates [24 boxes in all] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (Rule 26) (RO/AU) WO 00/03930 PCT/AU99/00564 On arriving from the overnight trucking the boxes were placed in a holding bay and left at ambient temperatures for two days. The temperature in the boxes reached about 17 0C. the boxes were then placed in a coolroom at 2-3 'C for 10 Odays.
SO
2 levels in half the boxes were measured several times during storage including s when at the high temperature [see figure 1].The higher temperatures increased the

2 release rates from liners 1 and 2 and more so from 1 [AC] than 2 The release rates dropped rapidly with temperature when returned to the cool room. In contrast the SO 2 pad AA showed a marked increase in SO 2 levels after return to the cool room due to condensation inside the pads [see figure 1].
At the end of the storage period the grapes were removed, weighed and three bunches from each box taken for assessment for rot and stem condition. These bunches were from the top centre, top corner and bottom corner positions in the box. After a further three days storage at 21 OC these bunches were again assessed for rot bleach and stem condition.

Liners land 2 both delivered SO 2 in a more even manner throughout the box as no positional differences were observed. In contrast the oskuvid pad [AA] caused greater bleaching in the top centre than in the bottom bunch. Previous trials have shown that pads show a distinct gradient with high levels at the top near the pad and low levels at the bottom of the box.

SO
2 levels in half the boxes were measured several times during storage. These are shown in figure 2.
From the graph comparing SC with SE it is clear that the wadding has a large effect on SO 2 levels in the packaging. This may be due to absorption of sulfur dioxide by the wadding and/or to the wadding modifying humidity levels.
At the end of the storage period grapes were removed and four bunches were taken from four different positions in each box for assessment of rot and stem condition. After a further 3 days storage at 21 oC, these bunches were again assessed for rot, bleach and stem condition. A more detailed bleach assessment 0o was also undertaken to assess severity of bleach as well as the of bleached grapes [by weight]. For each bunch the bleached grapes were separated into three groups representing severity of bleach: 1. 10% of grape surface area 2. 25% and 10% of grape surface area 3. 25%% of grape surface area These were then weighed and calculated as a of the bleached grapes.

Liner 2 was the most effective at controlling rot whilst minimising bleaching. It is surprising that bleaching was observed at such low SO 2 levels. Temperature may have a significant effect on susceptibility to bleaching since these grapes were not o1 stored at the preferred 0 oC.
Example 2 In this example bags composed of film containing the polymer blend of this invention were trialled.
The two bags made in accordance with the invention were formed by co-extruding a 20micron film of LDPE onto a 50 micron film of a 70/30 EVAILDPE polymer matrix containing sodium metabisulfite.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (Rule 26) (RO/AU) WO 00/03930 PCT/AU99/00564 9 Bag1 contained 12% sodium metabisulfite Bag 2 contained 15% sodium metabisulfite The active layer was on the inside and the LDPE layer on the outside of each bag to reduce water loss from the grapes.
Bags were prepared for 10 kg boxes of Thomson Seedless and Red Globe grapes and boxes were also prepared using a commercially available SO 2 releasing pad and control boxes with no SO2 treatment.
The boxes were also seeded with five Botrytis infected berries so that the effectiveness of the SO 2 levels could be tested in relation to the inhibition of the o0 spread of infection from these berries.
Two trials were carried in a simulated sea freight temperature profile as follows: OC for 2 days [farm to ship] 2-3 °C for 4 weeks [ship] °C for 3 days [marketing] The first trial used Thompson Seedless and the second trial used Red Globe grapes.

The rot and stem condition were also evaluated using four bunches of grapes taken from strategic positions in the box.

Figure 3 charts the average SO2 levels over the period of the trial. The levels for the commercial pad peaked at 33ppm during the first 6 days.
Sulphite residue tests were also carried out. A bunch was removed from near the top of the box and stored at room temperature for 2 days prior to analysis. Three measurements on each of the two inventive bags were made and also on the commercial pad. All measurements from the bags of the invention were 0 but the commercial pad resulted in a reading of 8.64ppm.

Readings of 12.4 and 8.1 mg/L sulfite were obtained from 2 of the boxes containing commercial pads. All measurements from the bags of the invention were 0.
Figure 4 is a chart of the SO 2 levels over the period of the red globe trial. This clearly shows why the bags of the invention result in less damage to the grapes and yet achieve an even release of SO2.
