Abstract

The invention relates to a rigid support for the packaging of foodstuffs. The support comprises four layers: a first layer of aluminium, a core of anti-absorbent card, an absorbent layer impregnated with a bacteria inhibitory mixture and a second layer of aluminium on which the foodstuff rests, this last layer being pierced by a plurality of microperforations whose dimensions, distribution and density ensure that the exudate moves out well without the product thereby becoming too dry. The invention applies to the packaging of foodstuffs that tend to exude.

Description

L'invention concerne un support rigide pour conditionnement de produit alimentaire.The invention relates to a rigid support for packaging a food product.

Il existe actuellement sur le marché un certain nombre de barquettes destinées à la conservation et à la présentation à la vente de la viande, du poisson et autres produits alimentaires. Un problème particulier se présente dans tous les cas où le produit concerné est susceptible de générer un exsudat, ce qui a pour effet de nuire non seulement à la qualité de la conservation mais aussi à l'aspect peu engageant du produit qui se trouve alors boudé par le consommateur.There are currently a number of trays on the market for preserving and presenting for sale meat, fish and other food products. A particular problem arises in all cases where the product concerned is liable to generate exudate, which has the effect of damaging not only the quality of the preservation but also the uninviting appearance of the product which is then shunned by the consumer.

Certains fabricants disposent dans le fond des barquettes une couche d'un matériau absorbant. Le problème n'est alors que partiellement résolu, car si cette couche absorbe l'exsudat, c'est elle qui se trouve souillée tout en restant en contact direct avec le produit à consommer.Some manufacturers have a layer of absorbent material at the bottom of the trays. The problem is then only partially resolved, because if this layer absorbs the exudate, it is it which is soiled while remaining in direct contact with the product to be consumed.

Il existe également sur le marché un conditionnement se présentant sous la forme de deux barquettes empilées l'une sur l'autre. Une couche d'un matériau absorbant est disposée entre les deux et la barquette supérieure qui reçoit le produit à conserver est percée d'un certain nombre de gros orifices pour laisser s'écouler l'exsudat sur le matériau absorbant. Certes, l'aspect est déjà un peu plus flatteur que dans le cas précédent mais il sagit là d'un procédé couteux, car il nécessite la mise en oeuvre de deux barquettes pour ne former en fin de compte qu'un seul contenant.There is also a packaging on the market in the form of two trays stacked one on the other. A layer of absorbent material is placed between the two and the upper tray which receives the product to be preserved is pierced with a number of large orifices to allow the exudate to flow on the absorbent material. Admittedly, the appearance is already a little more flattering than in the previous case, but this is an expensive process, because it requires the use of two trays to ultimately form only one container.

De plus, toutes ces barquettes ne sont pas adaptées à tous types de produits. Par exemple, la commercialisation de saumon fumé, pour être de qualité, doit être effectuée sur un support rigide. Le plus souvent, il s'agit d'un support en carton portant recto-verso une couche d'aluminium, ce qui ne résoud en rien le problème de l'exsudat.In addition, all these trays are not suitable for all types of products. For example, the marketing of smoked salmon, to be of quality, must be carried out on a rigid support. Most often, it is a cardboard support carrying two-sided an aluminum layer, which does not solve the problem of exudate.

La présente invention a pour objet de pallier ces inconvénients et concerne un support rigide pour conditionnement de produit alimentaire comportant une âme en carton recouvert recto-verso d'une feuille d'aluminium, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte en outre, entre la feuille d'aluminium qui est en contact avec le produit alimentaire et l'âme en carton, une feuille de buvard, cette feuille d'aluminium comportant une pluralité de microperforations.The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks and relates to a rigid support for packaging a food product comprising a cardboard core covered on both sides with aluminum foil, characterized in that it further comprises, between the sheet aluminum which is in contact with the food product and the cardboard core, a blotter sheet, this aluminum sheet comprising a plurality of microperforations.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide des explications qui vont suivre.The invention will be better understood using the explanations which follow.

Un tel support est constitué de quatre couches qui se répartissent comme suit:
- une première couche d'aluminium qui, selon une caractéristique de l'invention, comporte une pluralité de microperforations;
- un buvard absorbant l'humidité;
- une âme rigide en carton anti-absorbant;
- une seconde couche d'aluminium.
Such a support consists of four layers which are distributed as follows:
- a first layer of aluminum which, according to a characteristic of the invention, comprises a plurality of microperforations;
- a moisture absorbing blotter;
- a rigid core made of anti-absorbent cardboard;
- a second layer of aluminum.

La première couche d'aluminium comporte donc selon l'invention une pluralité de microperforations. Les dimensions, la densité et la répartition de ces microperforations sont modulées pour répondre à deux exigences: elles doivent en effet assurer le transfert de l'exsudat vers la couche de buvard sous-jacente, mais en même temps réguler l'absorption pour que le produit alimentaire, par exemple le poisson, ne se desséche pas trop vite.The first layer of aluminum therefore comprises according to the invention a plurality of microperforations. The dimensions, density and distribution of these microperforations are modulated to meet two requirements: they must in fact ensure the transfer of the exudate to the underlying blotter layer, but at the same time regulate the absorption so that the food product, for example fish, does not dry out too quickly.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, cette densité de microperforations et leur répartition, tout en satisfaisant les deux fonctions précédentes (transfert d'exsudat et non desséchement du produit), peuvent assurer une troisième fonction, celle d'inscrire en clair une information. Par exemple, les microperforations sont réparties de telle sorte quelles reproduisent le nom du fabricant, la date limite de consommation, etc.According to another characteristic of the invention, this density of microperforations and their distribution, while satisfying the two preceding functions (transfer of exudate and non-drying of the product), can ensure a third function, that of writing information clearly . For example, the microperforations are distributed in such a way that they reproduce the name of the manufacturer, the expiration date, etc.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le buvard est enduit d'un mélange inhibiteur de bactéries. L'enduction du buvard au moyen de la solution traitante peut se faire directement sur le site de fabrication des supports.According to another characteristic of the invention, the blotter is coated with a bacteria-inhibiting mixture. The coating of the blotting paper by means of the treating solution can be done directly on the site of manufacture of the supports.

Dans ces conditions, d'une part, le produit ne se trouve plus en contact avec un support humide, et d'autre part, un agent conservateur contribue à une amélioration très nette de la conservation.Under these conditions, on the one hand, the product is no longer in contact with a wet support, and on the other hand, a preservative contributes to a very marked improvement in preservation.

L'invention s'applique à tout type de support rigide destiné à la conservation et à la commercialisation de produits alimentaires risquant d'exsuder au cours du temps.The invention applies to any type of rigid support intended for the conservation and marketing of food products which are liable to exude over time.
