Abstract

A foodstuff container consists of a tube containing a substance having at least two different components, wherein the tube is a conventional tube and the components (6, 7) are alternately arranged around the axis of symmetry (8) of the tube along the full length thereof.

Description

~_ ` 21 64094 Assembly for a food product comprising a tube cont~;n;
a product with at least two constituents.
The invention relates to an assembly for a food product comprising a tube containing a product with at least two constituents.
Tubes containing two constituents are already known. Patent CH 670,612 relates to a packaging for mayonnaise and ketchup, but in which a tube with a special adaptor is used so-as to be able to separate the two constituents. Moreover, patent DE 1,185,981 relates to a process for filling a conventional tube, in which the same mass, but differently coloured, is measured out into the said tube. The first patent uses a special tube and the second strictly speaking does not relate to the lS measuring out of the different constituents.
The aim of the present invention is to be able to provide a packaging in the form of a tube, in which a conventional tube is used, which contains however a product with two different constituents.
The invention relates to an assembly for a food product comprising a tube containing a product with at least two constituents, in which the tube is a normal tube and the constituents are distributed around the axis of symmetry of the tube alternately with each constituent 2S over the entire height of the said tube.
Normal tube is understood to mean a tube compris-ing a tube body, a mouth for the outlet of the product and a cap as used conventionally for the packaging of mayonnaise, for example.
Different constituents is understood to mean constituents having different chemical compositions, such as for example the following combinations:
mayonnaise/ketchup, mustard/ketchup, mayonnaise/mustard, mustard and/or ketchup containing a maximum of 40~ oil 3S and any other combination in the food sector with sugar-containing constituents such as chocolate cream (mixture of chocolate, fat and thickener)/white chocolate cream (white chocolate, fat and thickener).
The aim of the present invention is to be able to ~_ ~ 2 1 64094 distribute simultaneousIy, from a conventional tube, at least two products either into a plate for direct con-sumption, or for decorative purposes, for example onto canapés.
The presence of three constituents in the tube could also be envisaged, but the version with two consti-tuents is preferred.
With the two constituents envisaged, it is calculated that these are measured out in approximately equal quantities (by volume) and they are measured out into the tube so as to have two zones of one of the constituents and two zones of the other. Three or more zones could also be envisaged, but the two-zone solution is preferred.
It is clearly understood that given that the two constituents have zones of contact over the entire height of the tube and have to be distributed simultaneously and equally, they must obey certain physical constraints. For example, for the constituents to be properly distributed together, the yield point of the mayonnaise should be between 100 and 140 Pa and that of the ketchup and of the mustard between 60 and 120 Pa. Preferably, the yield point of the mayonnaise is of the order of 120 Pa.
Still for the same combination, if it is desired to ensure that the products do not mix when they are distributed, the viscosity of the mayonnaise should be between 16,000 and 25,000 cP and that of the ketchup and of the mustard between 12,000 and 22,000 cP. Preferably, for the mayonnaise, the viscosity is between 18,000 and 20,000 cP. It is clearly understood that the yield point and viscosity values for the ketchup and for the mustard remain equally valid if these compounds contain up to 40~
oil. Oil is normally understood to mean a mixture of ketchup respectively of mustard with mayonnaise.
The measurements of these two physical parameters are performed with a Contraves Rheomat 108 E/R, Messystem 13 apparatus.
For mayonnaise, the process is carried out with an oil content of between 40 and 80~, preferably an oil ~_ 21 64054 content of between 70 and 80~.
The tube product obtained, containing the two constituents, is capable of being preserved without refrigeration for a minimum period of six months.
For viscosity considerations, it is necessary that the aqueous phase, namely the ketchup and mustard phase, contains between 2 and 8~ thickener, this thickener being preferably modified starch. The pH of the two constituents is acidic, between 3.4 and 4.
For the filling of the tube, a special nozzle is used. Before the filling, the ketchup and the mustard should be pasteurized in order to ensure the desired shelf life. As regards the mayonnaise, it is prepared in the conventional manner and does not require any heat lS treatment. The filling into the tube is performed on an aseptic or highly hygienic device.
The remainder of the description is made with reference to the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the packaging according to the invention and Figure 2 is a section along the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
The tube (1) comprises a sealed tube bottom (3), a tube body (2), a mouth (4) for the outlet of the two constituents and a cap (5) for closing the tube. The combination of the two constituents is in the tube, as seen more specifically in Figure 2: the ketchup (6) and the mayonnaise (7) are distributed around the axis of symmetry (8) of the tube (1). These constituents are distributed into two separate zones.
When the tube is used, it is pressed and the two constituents come out simultaneously and in equal quan-tities: no mixing of the two constituents is visible, even after preserving for six months without refriger-ation.
A tube is available according to the inventioncombining two different constituents which do not mix, even after pressing the said tube many times, thereby making it possible to measure out the two constituents evenly until the tube is completely empty.
The remainder of the description is made with reference to the examples.
Example 1 An aqueous phase consisting of ketchup is prepared which has a yield point of 90 Pa and a viscosity of 18,000 cP
and the following composition:
tomato purée 17%
vinegar 26%
sugar 25.2%
water 24%
salt 2%
thickener 5.7%
spices 0.1~
This ketchup is pasteurized at 75C for 10 min.
A mayonnaise is also prepared in a conventional manner: it has a yield point of 118 Pa and a viscosity of 18,500 cP and the following composition:
sunflower oil 80%
20 egg yolk 6%
vinegar 10%
spices 1%
salt 1%
water 2%
These two constituents are brought onto a highly hygienic system to a measuring nozzle which fills a normal tube at the rate of 200 g per constituent. A tube is obtained in which there is good simultaneity of the measuring out of the two constituents, without any mixing of the said constituents.
Example 2 The ketchup composition of the preceding example is used, which composition is pasteurized as above.
Moreover, a fatty phase is prepared, containing 15% mayonnaise (according to example 1) 2.7% thickener and 82.3% mild mustard.
These two constituents are brought into a hygienic filling system and the tubes are filled with a special nozzle.
A system with two constituents is obtained also in this case, which constituents remain well separated even after six months of storage.
The packaging according to the invention there-fore makes it impossible to provide the consumer with a product with a long shelf life, which product is obtained by conventional methods, taking into account only certain physical, chemical or physicochemical parameters which permit the coexistence of different constituents in the same tube.
