Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging assembly comprising a rigid outer package with a bottom and walls and a flexible inner package placed therein, wherein the walls and/or the bottom of said outer package and said flexible inner package are provided with openings, wherein the total surface area of the openings in the bottom and/or walls of said outer package is greater than the total suface area of the openings in said inner package.
  • Such a packaging assembly is generally known in the prior art.
  • lily bulbs are packaged in film bags which film bags are placed in crates.
  • These crates have relatively large openings in the walls and bottom (slatted crates), whereas the film bags are provided with small openings with a diameter of about 5 mm (round).
  • Transport and storage take place at a few degrees centigrade below zero.
  • Such a package is adequate for the transport and storage of lily bulbs.
  • the surface area of openings in a bag for lily packages amounts to less than 0.5% of the total surface area of such a flexible inner package.
  • Such a packaging assembly is in particular suitable for the packaging of peppers.
  • the openings proposed according to the invention are very much bigger than the openings used in the prior art mentioned above. This has the result that unlike the prior art there is very good aeration of the plant in the package. That means that good aeration of the plant can be guaranteed even if the packages are placed out of line on a pallet. Depending on the plant, the atmosphere (microclimate) to which the plant is exposed will be adjusted gradually (within a day). On the other hand, the openings in the flexible inner package are of such limited size that there is no great loss of moisture, i.e. the product does not dry out.
  • the present package provides very rapid cooling of the plant. That means that directly after harvesting and packaging the plant is put in a cold store and rapid cooling of the plant to the desired temperature can be achieved. It has been found that for certain plants such as peppers the rapid attainment of the desired storage temperature has a major effect on storage life. In research it has been found that if from the time of picking the desired storage temperature is attained one hour faster, the storage life of the pepper in the package is lengthened by about one day. An optimal storage temperature for peppers is between 6 and 8°C.
  • the inner package is provided with means for absorption of ethylene.
  • the storage life of the plants can be improved and more particularly the rotting process can be counteracted.
  • the inner package can be shock-absorbent, e.g. it can consist of bubble film.
  • the inner package preferably comprises a bag. It is also possible, however, to start with a sheet of plastic film and to fold this over. Complete sealing is not necessary and, in view of the openings present in the inner package described above, also not relevant.
  • a package as described above is suitable in particular for the packaging of peppers. It has been found that there is hardly any deterioration in the quality of the packaged product after a prolonged period, such as one week. As a result it is also possible to store/transport yellow peppers for a prolonged period.
