Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tray for foods, in particular, a tray provided with a draining bottom.
  • Fresh foods are known to be sold by large retailers, packed in special tubs or trays, which can be made of polystyrene foam or, more and more often, of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and similar materials.
  • PP polypropylene
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the packaging of fresh meat and fish or foods, which release liquids presents particular problems for all operators, both in the sector of industry and retail, as well as for the final consumer.
  • the liquid released by the meat for example, particularly by red meat, creates the following problems in contact with the meat:
  • a tray has been proposed to the market with a bottom, generally called a "mechanical bottom", formed by a multitude of small cells or containers, which retain, by capillarity, the exudate therein, preventing the same from spilling onto the bottom of the tray or leaking when the pack is opened.
  • Prior art dcument CH 663 943 A5 discloses a tray for foods whose bottom comprises a plurality of elevations having a side surface and an upper surface, wherein the upper surface comprises one or ore grooves. However this tray does not solve the problem addressed by the present invention as depicted below.
  • the problem targeted by the present invention is to provide a tray for foods, in particular, a tray for packaging fresh meat and other food products, which release liquids, which can be recycled and preserves the organoleptic qualities of the food for longer, preventing or reducing the problem of the darkening of the product in contact with the surface of the tray, or the development of an unpleasant smell on opening the pack, improving the shelf life thereof.
  • a tray for foods is an object of the present invention, in particular, for red and white meats and for fish, comprising a bottom, side walls, which extend in height from the bottom, and a peripheral edge, wherein the bottom comprises a plurality of elevations, comprising a side surface and an upper surface, wherein the upper surface comprises one or more grooves, characterised in that the upper surface of the elevations also comprises one or more notches preferably having a smaller depth than that of the one or more grooves and wherein the tray preferably comprises a plurality of blind holes, or wells, for collecting the liquids on the bottom of the tray.
  • the side walls 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d have a typically flared shape and are joined by angular portions 5, preferably with a rounded or curvilinear shape.
  • the side walls 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d can have raised decorations 6 or be smooth, or have ribs or channels, which will be shown below.
  • the bottom 2 comprises a plurality of elevations 7, which, in the embodiment in figures 1A-1C , have a substantially cylindrical shape.
  • the elevations 7 comprise a side surface 8 and an upper surface 9, which is slightly convex, but which, according to one variation, can also be flat.
  • the upper surface 9 has two basically parallel grooves 10.
  • the elevations 7 have an ordered arrangement, for example, along parallel rows, so as to arrange a homogeneous supporting surface for the food, typically a portion of meat, at the same time giving the tray an attractive appearance. Nonetheless, in variations of the tray, a different arrangement of the elevations 7 can be comprised.
  • the bottom 2 further comprises a plurality of blind holes, or wells 12.
  • the wells 12 form containers for storing and retaining, by capillarity, the exudates released by the food.
  • the elevations 7 constitute a supporting surface for the food, which is thus kept separate from the bottom 2.
  • the presence of the grooves 10 contributes to reducing the supporting surface to a minimum.
  • the spaces between the elevations 7 and the grooves 10 of the elevations form channels for circulating the air, or the mixture of protective gas, which allows a good oxygenation of the food, in the case of a packaging with stretch film made of PE or PVC, or protective gases in the case of a packaging in a modified atmosphere, in particular, of the portion of meat, an essential element for preserving the intense color of the meat and preventing the darkening thereof.
  • the grooves 10 constitute channels for draining the liquids released by the food.
  • the tray 1 is similar to the one in figures 1A-1C , with the difference that the elevations 7 comprise a side surface 8, an upper surface 9, which is preferably slightly convex, and a single groove 10 arranged centrally.
  • the tray according to the invention is similar to the one in figures 2A-2B , but with the difference that the portions of upper surface 9, which flank the central groove 10, comprise respective notches 11.
  • the notches 11 preferably have a smaller depth than the depth of the groove 10.
  • Figures 4A and 4B show another tray, totally similar to the example in figures 2A-2B , but with the difference that the elevations 7 do not have a cylindrical shape, but a substantially square or rectangular plan, wherein the groove 10 joins two opposite sides.
  • the elevations 7 have rounded corners.
  • FIG. 5A and 5B Another tray is shown in figures 5A and 5B .
  • Such tray is totally similar to the one in figures 4A-4B , but with the difference that the surface 9 has a substantially square plan and the groove 10 is placed along the diagonal thereof. In this case, too, preferably, the elevations 7 have rounded corners.
  • Figures 6A-6B and 7A-7B show further examples of trays, totally similar to the one in figures 2A-2B , but with the difference that the elevations 7 have an elliptical, instead of a circular plan.
  • the groove 10 can connect the vertices of the ellipses, as in figures 6A-6B , or be arranged with a different orientation ( figures 7A-7B ).
  • Figure 10 shows an embodiment, wherein the elevations 7 have a substantially square plan and are furrowed, in a cross, by a groove 10 and a notch 11.
  • the groove 10 and the notch 11 join respective opposite sides of the elevation 7, but in different embodiments, they can also join the respective opposite vertices.
  • the notches 11 can have a depth, which is smaller than the grooves 10, or they can have the same depth.
  • the elevations 7 can have a plan shape, which is square, as shown in figure 10 , rectangular or with a different geometry.
  • the upper surface 9 of the elevations 7 is flat.
  • figures 8A and 8B show a different embodiment.
  • the side walls 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d and the bottom portion 2 adjacent thereto comprise channels 13, which, in the example in the figures, are arranged in a condition of parallelism, wherein said channels 13 join the peripheral edge 4 to the bottom 2, close to the elevations 7.
  • the channels 13 end at the junction point of the side walls 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d with the bottom 2. In other variations, they are arranged obliquely or crosswise.
  • FIGS 8A-8B show the elevations 7 with the shape in figure 3A-3B , it is understood that channels 13 can also be present in any one of the examples in figures 1A-1C , 2A-2B , 4A-4B , 5A-5B , 6A-6B and 7A-7B .
  • the channels 13 have the function of reducing the contact surface between the side walls and the food to a minimum, when the latter, for example, a piece of meat, has elevated dimensions to fill the whole tray 1. Furthermore, the channels 13 allow both the airing of the surface of the food and the draining of the fluids released therefrom.
  • Figure 9 shows a different tray, similar to those in figures 6A-6B , but wherein the bottom 2 comprises one or more portions 14 devoid of the elevations 7 and holes or wells 12 and one or more portions 15 (in figure, three portions 15) devoid of only the holes or wells 15.
  • the portions 14, 15, which are substantially smooth, allow the adhesion of various types of labels.
  • portions 14, 15 can vary as desired.
  • the bottom 2 will comprise only a plurality of portions 15 devoid of only the holes or wells 12, so as to ensure a homogenous support over the whole support surface of the food.
  • the whole support surface of the food i.e. the whole surface deriving from the sum of the single upper surfaces 9 of the elevations 7, without the portion occupied by the grooves 10 and by the notches 11, is from 35% to 45% of the total surface of the bottom 2.
  • each elevation will have an upper surface 9 from 80 to 100 mm 2 and a side surface 8 of height from 3 to 7 mm.
  • the tray 1 can be made of a plastic material normally used for this type of applications, for example, polypropylene or polyethylenterephthalate and it can be made by hot molding (thermoforming) or injection.
  • the tray 1 according to the invention allows a better preservation of the organoleptic qualities and shelf life of the food product, especially in the case of red meats, but also for white meats and fish.
  • packs of red and white meats or fish kept in a fridge for a period of 2 - 3 days (average shelf life time in large retail for foods packed in sales points with a stretch film) showed no traces of darkening (phenomenon particularly visible in traditional packs of red meats) and, surprisingly, nor did they show any significant alteration in the characteristic smell of the fresh product.
