Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für Obst und Gemüse, insbesondere Spargel, umfassend eine selbsttragende Schale und eine mit dieser luftdicht verbundene Folie.The The invention relates to packaging for fruit and vegetables, in particular Asparagus, comprising a self-supporting shell and one with it airtight bonded film.

Wenn in einer solchen herkömmlichen Verpackung Obst oder Gemüse verpackt wird, dann befindet sich dieses unter einem totalen Luftabschluß. Das Fehlen von jeglichem Luftaustausch begünstigt jedoch das Wachstum von Schimmelpilzen. Beispielsweise verschimmelt Spargel bereits nach 2 Tagen, wenn er absolut luftdicht verpackt wird. Der Spargel ist somit verdorben und unverkäuflich.If in such a conventional one Packaging fruits or vegetables is packed, then this is under a total air seal. The missing favored by any air exchange however, the growth of mold. For example moldy Asparagus after 2 days if it is packed absolutely airtight becomes. The asparagus is spoiled and cannot be sold.

Aus diesem Grund werden Obst und Gemüse üblicherweise nicht verpackt, sondern in Tüten oder in Holzschalen angeboten. Da in diesem Fall ein sehr großer Luftaustausch möglich ist, kann das Obst oder Gemüse jedoch rasch austrocknen. Beispielsweise wird ein in einer offenen Schale bei 20°C gelagerter Spargel bereits nach 4 Stunden holzig, und es bildet sich Rostschimmel. Ein solcher Spargel wird vom Verbraucher aus Gründen der Optik wie auch des Geschmacks nicht akzeptiert.Out this is why fruits and vegetables are common not packed, but in bags or offered in wooden bowls. Because in this case a very large air exchange possible is, the fruit or vegetables however, dry out quickly. For example, one in an open Dish at 20 ° C asparagus stored woody after 4 hours, and it forms rust mold. Such an asparagus is used by consumers for the sake of Optics and taste are not accepted.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die gattungsgemäße Verpackung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß sich Obst und Gemüse, insbesondere Spargel ohne Qualitätseinbuße über einen längeren Zeitraum lagern läßt.The The invention is based on the task of generic packaging to improve in that Fruit and vegetables, especially asparagus without loss of quality over one longer Period can be stored.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Schale oder die Folie perforiert ist, wobei das Verhältnis zwischen der Gesamtfläche der Perforationsöffnungen und der Fläche der Schale oder der Folie 0,005 bis 0,25 beträgt.According to the invention Task solved by that the Shell or the film is perforated, the ratio between of the total area of the perforation openings and the area the shell or film is 0.005 to 0.25.

Es hat sich überraschender Weise gezeigt, daß es zwischen den beiden Extremen – totaler Luftabschluß bzw. unbehinderter Luftaustausch – mit den jeweiligen nachteiligen Folgen für die Haltbarkeit des Verpackungsgutes einen Zwischenbereich gibt, bei dem einerseits ein geringer Feuchtigkeitsverlust des Verpackungsgutes erreicht und andererseits eine Schimmelbildung verhindert wird.It has become more surprising Way it showed between the two extremes - total Air exclusion or unhindered air exchange - with the respective adverse consequences for the shelf life of the packaged goods there is an intermediate area in which, on the one hand, a small loss of moisture of the packaged goods and on the other hand mold formation is prevented.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung kann geschälter Spargel bei geringer Kühlung 7 Tage ohne erkennbare Qualitätsminderung gelagert werden, ungeschälter Spargel sogar 14 Tage. Eine Kühlkette kann vorübergehend unterbrochen werden, ohne daß die Gefahr einer Austrocknung des Verpackungsgutes besteht. Dies bedeutet mehr Chancen im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel hinsichtlich Vorproduktion und Lagerung. Dies ist insbesondere bei Spargel bedeutsam, weil die Saison dadurch verlängert wird.In the packaging according to the invention can peel Asparagus with low cooling 7 days without a noticeable reduction in quality stored, unpeeled Asparagus even 14 days. A cold chain can be temporary be interrupted without the There is a risk of the packaged goods drying out. this means more opportunities in food retailing regarding pre-production and storage. This is particularly important with asparagus because this extends the season becomes.

Für die Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe ist es unerheblich, ob die Folie oder die Schale perforiert ist. Aus herstellungstechnischen Gründen ist es jedoch vorteilhafter, die Folie zu perforieren.For the solution of the task according to the invention it is irrelevant whether the film or the shell is perforated. For manufacturing reasons however, it is more advantageous to perforate the film.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The Invention is described below with reference to one in the drawing preferred embodiment explained in more detail.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt einen schematischen Querschnitt durch eine Verpackung. Diese Verpackung umfaßt eine selbsttragende Schale 1 aus einem luftundurchlässigen Material. Die Schale 1 kann aus Kunststoff, wie z. B. Polypropylen tiefgezogen sein. Nachdem das Verpackungsgut in die Schale 1 eingebracht wurde, wird eine Folie 2 mit einem umlaufenden Flansch der Schale 1 luftdicht verbunden, beispielsweise verklebt oder verschweißt. Die Folie 2 ist mit einer Vielzahl von Öffnungen oder Perforationen 3 versehen, die in einer oder mehreren Reihen angeordnet sein können. In der Zeichnung sind die Öffnungen 3 aus darstellerischen Gründen sehr stark vergrößert.The only figure in the drawing shows a schematic cross section through a package. This packaging includes a self-supporting tray 1 made of an airtight material. The shell 1 can be made of plastic such. B. polypropylene. After the packaged goods in the bowl 1 a film is inserted 2 with a circumferential flange of the shell 1 hermetically connected, for example glued or welded. The foil 2 is with a variety of openings or perforations 3 provided, which can be arranged in one or more rows. In the drawing are the openings 3 enlarged very much for illustrative reasons.

Mit einer solchen Verpackung wurden mehrere Versuche mit Folien durchgeführt, die sich hinsichtlich der Größe und Anzahl der Öffnungen unterschieden. In allen Fällen wurde eine Schale aus Polypropylen mit den Abmessungen 190 × 144 × 83 mm und eine Deckelfolie aus Polyethylen mit einer Stärke von 65 μm und einer Fläche von 27.360 mm2 verwendet. In diesen Verpackungen wurde frisch geschälter Spargel aus dem Anbaugebiet Schrobenhausen verpackt. Dabei wurden 6 unterschiedlich ausgebildete Folien verwendet, wie aus der nachfolgenden Tabelle hervorgeht.With such a packaging, several tests were carried out with foils, which differed in terms of size and number of openings. In all cases, a shell made of polypropylene with the dimensions 190 × 144 × 83 mm and a cover film made of polyethylene with a thickness of 65 μm and an area of 27,360 mm 2 were used. Freshly peeled asparagus from the Schrobenhausen region was packed in this packaging. 6 differently designed foils were used, as can be seen from the table below.

Bei allen Proben waren die Spargel nach 14 Tagen optisch einwandfrei, lediglich bei den Proben 3 und 4 war eine geschmackliche Qualitätsminderung zu erkennen.The asparagus in all samples was optically perfect after 14 days, only in the samples 3 and 4 a decrease in taste was recognizable.
