Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an aromatized closing element made of a cork-type material for containers for foodstuffs according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for obtaining closing elements made of cork-type material for containers for foodstuffs.
  • cork-type material in addition to cork as such, a material that may even be synthetic which possesses structural characteristics similar to those of cork, in particular as regards porosity.
  • the first impulse a person has when the bottle is opened is to sniff the cork, allowing himself to be conditioned also as regards the taste of the wine itself, in particular if he does not possess solid oenological knowledge.
  • a closing element according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP-A- 1 182 223.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide closing elements made of cork-type material for containers for foodstuffs, which in themselves present an olfactive agreeableness such as to increase the consumer's desire in regard to the foodstuff present in the container.
  • the subject of the present invention is a closing element made of cork-type material comprising aromatizing substances in an adsorbed form.
  • a further purpose of the present invention is a method for producing closing elements for foodstuff containers which comprises a step of aromatization, in which aromatizing substances are made to be adsorbed by the material forming the closing element.
  • the aromatization step is a final step of the process of making closing elements for foodstuff containers.
  • the aromatization step is concomitant with a step of lubrication of the closing elements.
  • an initial boiling step in which cork is put into a boiler where it is immersed in water at a temperature of approximately 110°C for 70 to 90 minutes. Together with the cork, during this step, disinfectant substances, known to a person skilled in the branch, are added.
  • washing step in which the product obtained from the previous step undergoes washing either in a bath or by dry-cleaning, and disinfectant products are added such as hydrogen peroxide, citric acid, etc.
  • the cork undergoes a step of stabilization of humidity, during which the cork is put in special environments and is subjected to injections that contain as additive vapourized air or air with a high concentration of humidity.
  • a lubrication step in which the cork is put into special environments and receives the addition of lubricants and aromatic substances such as aromas, tannins (or polyphenols in general), and extracts in general according to the aroma that it is intended to impart upon the cork.
  • aromatic substances such as aromas, tannins (or polyphenols in general), and extracts in general according to the aroma that it is intended to impart upon the cork.
  • corks undergo a packaging step, during which they are put into a container for packaging.
  • aromatization step may be carried out in any of the steps listed above except for the dinking step.
  • the aromatization step may be a step in itself set between two of the aforesaid steps.
  • the following aromas are preferred, according to the type of wine: for red wines, the preferred aromas are: cocoa, chocolate, liquorice, hazel nut, vanilla, and nutmeg; for white wines, the preferred aromas are mature fruit, such as kiwi, apple, cherry, and raspberry; for young white wines, the preferred aromas are fresh fruit, such as melon, banana, apricot, mango, and papaw; for spiced wines, the preferred aromas are: tomato and pimento.
