Definitions

  • the present utility model pertains to the containers' technical field for storage, transportation and commercialization of articles especially sensitive to damages due to shock or pressure. More specifically, this utility model is formed by a plastic material package for storage, transportation and commercialization of fruits.
  • the papaya fruit also known as 'papaia' is the fruit grown from the papaya tree, a tree of the Carica quality, probably originated from the region between Upper Amazon Basin and Central America. As a tropical plant, the papaya tree presents a better development in regions of hot and humid climate, however, due to its great acceptability, and thanks to its sensorial, nutritional and functional characteristics, added to its adaptability and to works involving genetic improvement, had its cultivation extended also to subtropical regions, being currently present in more than sixty countries, being Brazil considered as its greater world producer and third major exporter.
  • papaya fruit is recommended by several nutritionists for being rich in vitamins A, C and of B complex, source of mineral salts such as calcium, potassium and magnesium, it also possesses the papain, a special enzyme that digests proteins, helps to absorb nutrients and in the good functioning of the digestive system. The more mature it is, the greater the concentration of those nutrients in the fruit, which may be consumed daily to help balance the human organism.
  • the two varieties of papaya commonly found in Brazil are 'papaia' and 'formosa'.
  • the papaya of variety 'papaia' is smaller and more sweetish, weighing between 300 g and 1 kg, while the papaya of variety 'formosa' may reach 3 kg, which makes it more adequate for utilization where there is a great demand of fruit pulp.
  • Papaya fruits are classified, as for the respiratory standard, as climacteric, that is, they can ripe after being harvested, influenced by factors such as temperature and atmospheric composition and, regarding this aspect, there are several studies that highlight the importance of quality conservation for papaya commercialization, as this fruit is consumed preferably in its natural state.
  • the papaya's outer skin is very sensitive to mechanical shocks, being damaged just by a soft friction with the package utilized in its transportation, commonly made of cardboard or wood. Such damaging effect is potentialized due to the form of presentation of those fruits exposed in baskets and shelves without refrigeration.
  • the main characteristics that determine the picking of fruits by final consumers are the absence of physical damages, hardness and coloration, and the processes of packaging, transportation and handling practiced currently at production and commercialization centers, hit negatively the quality of the fruit to be commercialized, accelerating the process of deterioration of the fruits, generating post-harvest losses of up to 75% in some cases.
  • the national document MU8602534-1 describes a papaya packaging, preferably prepared for accommodating the 'papaia' type, capable of accommodating four fruits, which remain stored in the direction of its vertical axis, containing orifices and openings for air circulation, avoiding the late ripening of the fruit.
  • the present utility model describes a package produced in thermoplastic film, destined to the transportation and commercialization of 'formosa' papaya, which permits a drastic reduction of losses caused to the fruit after its harvesting, improves product presentation at selling spots and provides a higher shelf life at commercialization locations.
  • the main form of commercialization of 'formosa' papaya for the final consumer is in bulk, that is, the product is exhibited in shelves with no refrigeration, unpacked and sold in units, especially for being a fruit of big dimensions, which can reach to a weight of up to 3 kg.
  • Package (A) for 'formosa' type papaya object of the present utility model, permits reducing the mechanical damages imposed to the fruit's outer skin due to its transport and handling, improves the product's hygiene, increases the post-harvest life and provides to the consumer a more tasty and nutritive product, as the fruit can be harvested with more ripening, a stage in which the presence of vitamins A, C and B, mineral salts and its own papain present more elevated levels.
  • Package (A), according to Figure 1 comprises:
  • the sealing is made in a mechanical form in a machine that uses the flow pack sealing system.
  • the smooth surface of package (A) reduces the mechanical damages that can be imposed to the papaya's outer skin, by the simple abrasion originated by the skin attrition with packages, commonly made of cardboard or wood, utilized in its transportation to the commercialization areas, which leads to the appearing of lesions that afterwards transform themselves into rotten spots, which may turn the installation of fungus and/or bacteria in the fruit possible, changing its flavor and making them improper for consumption.
  • the 'formosa' papaya is washed with a chlorine solution at 100 ppm and waxed with nutritious wax before being transported to the selling spots, however, at the baskets or shelves of supermarkets, the fruits are handled by several customers, which may contaminate the product with several pathogenic agents, such as excremental matters, listeria, etc.
  • the quantity of orifices (2) applied at the surface of pellicle (1) of package (A)'s thermoplastic film varies according to year's time. In the summer, with higher temperatures, the respiratory rate is greater, demanding to increase the quantity of orifices (2), arranging them in parallel and separated between 10 to 20 mm among each other, in the longitudinal direction of package (A), in order to not occurring the process of anaerobic fermentation by excess of CO 2 , as shows Figure 2 . In the winter, the quantity of holes may be decreased, as presented in Figure 3 , increasing the distance among them to 15 to 35 mm. This will prolong even move the product's post-harvest life.
  • package (A) provides a reduction of the respiratory rate of 'formosa' papaya and an increment in the concentration of CO 2 , which leads the product to ripe more slowly, once CO 2 actuates in the inhibition of ethylene (ripe hormone).
  • the 'formosa' papaya is harvested practically unripe, at harvest point 1, as it ripens quickly, the harvest in this stage warrants a greater time so that it is distributed and exposed at the markets.
  • package (A) With the utilization of package (A), it is possible to proceed with the harvest at point 3, where the product already reached its physiological ripeness without losing its characteristics of hardness and coloration, appreciated by consumers.
  • Package (A) besides the characteristics already described, yet allows the printing over the pellicle (1) of thermoplastic film, information that fulfill the legal exigencies of the inspection agencies, such as for example: information on the producer and its origin, the date of harvest / validity, ideal conservation conditions, the product's weight and nutritional value, among others.
