Definitions

  • the invention relates to a food packaging tray.
  • the food of concern may be, fresh or frozen, meat, poultry, fish, fruit and vegetables.
  • the food support is a partition wall dividing the tray into the two chambers and it is perforated so that the modified atmosphere may diffuse in both chambers and, hence, circulate around the food, envelop the food.
  • the gas mixture can come into direct contact with the underside of the food product.
  • EP 2 540 634 teaches such a tray.
  • the perforated partition support is surrounded by a circular opening through which the fluid exuding from the food may flow into the fluid chamber.
  • an absorbing layer as taught for instance in US 6152295 .
  • the absorbent material is full of air (or gas) and, little by little, this air is coming out of the absorbing layer and modifies the modified atmosphere which is thus polluted, with the drawback of reducing the shelf life of the product.
  • the invention of the instant case aims at obviating such a drawback.
  • the invention relates to a food packaging tray, for packaging fluid-exuding and oxygen sensitive food product under modified atmosphere, the tray being provided with
  • the liquid chamber of the tray of the instant case may even be empty of solid material.
  • the tray of the instant case has two major advantages.
  • the first one is the fact that there is no absorbent in the liquid chamber and, therefore, the modified atmosphere will not be modified or polluted by air. Furthermore, since there is no absorbent, there is no risk that the absorbing layer and the perforated food supporting partition come in direct contact with each other, thus no risk that i) the absorbing layer, through the perforations of the partition, sucks out liquid from the food product and ii) the modified atmosphere does not circulate around the food product anymore.
  • the second advantage is the fact that the exuding fluid cannot flow around the perforated partition but only through its perforations.
  • the flow is very slow and in both ways either from the food chamber to the fluid chamber or, after having inadvertently turned the tray upside down, from the liquid chamber back to the food chamber.
  • the perforated partition is a permeable film, advantageously a moisture permeable film.
  • the permeable film has a liquid communication between the two food and liquid chambers and may also have micro-perforations used for gas circulation only and too small for liquid circulation.
  • the bottom of the liquid chamber may have a capillary honeycomb structure.
  • the food supporting partition is supported by a shelf provided on the inner wall of the tray and, more advantageously, also on pillars having an height, from the bottom of the liquid chamber, such that their free ends and the top surface of the shelf lay in a common plane parallel to the bottom of the liquid chamber.
  • top surface of the shelf is meant the surface supporting the supporting partition.
  • the packaging tray of the instant case has a generally parallelepipedic shape with an outer side wall 1, and a bottom 2.
  • the side wall 1 is extended by a rather thin top border 3, except that the four corners where it is slightly larger.
  • a transparent plastic sheet 4 is secured onto the border 3 for covering and closing the tray.
  • the inner surface 5 of the sidewall 1 is provided with a shelf 6 for supporting a perforated food supporting partition 7, dividing the tray into a food chamber 8 and a liquid chamber 9 ( figure 2 ).
  • the height of the partition 7 above the bottom 2 is small, compared to the height of the closing sheet 4 above the partition 7.
  • the perforated food supporting partition 7 obturates both chambers 8, 9.
  • the liquid chamber 9 is empty of absorbent material. Actually, the chamber is empty of gas releasing material; it could be just empty of air or oxygen releasing material.
  • the bottom 2 of the tray has here a capillary structure 10, here a honeycomb structure, as shown on figure 3 , with, here, hexagonal recesses 16.
  • Pillars 11 are provided on the bottom 2, of an height such that their free ends 12 lie here in the same plane as the top annular surface 13 of the shelf 6 forming a shoulder supporting the partition 7.
  • the perforated partition is a permeable film 7, which could be preferably a moisture permeable film.
  • the tray as described above will be used as follows.
  • the permeable film 7 having been secured onto the annular shoulder 13 of the shelf 6 and a food product 14 - here a piece of meat - having been put on the film 7, the air is taken out of the tray and a modified atmosphere is injected therein prior to closing the tray on top of the food chamber 8 by the plastic sheet 4 secured onto the top boarder 3.
  • the modified atmosphere may diffuse in both chambers 8, 9 and circulate around the piece of meat 14.
  • the fluid chamber 9 being empty of solid material, the modified atmosphere is not polluted.
  • the perforations 15 of the film 7 are designed for liquid circulation. Some of the perforations could be micro-perforations used for gas circulation only and too small for liquid circulation. In any case, the film 7 should be designed for the modified atmosphere to be able to envelop the piece of food 14 and be in contact with the underside of the food product.
