TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a package that maintains the freshness of tomato and prevents the occurrence of mold.
[0002]
[Prior art]
MA (Modified Atmosphere) packaging is a material for maintaining the freshness of fruits and vegetables, which suppresses the respiration of fruits and vegetables and maintains freshness by keeping the inside of the package at a lower oxygen and higher carbon dioxide concentration than in the atmosphere.
Tomatoes tend to age (dark red, soften, etc.) after harvesting and lose their commercial properties immediately. Therefore, preservation of freshness by MA packaging is being studied. However, since the MA package is a closed system, the inside of the package is in a humid state, and mold is easily generated. Therefore, even if aging can be prevented, it has been difficult to put it into practical use.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In order to suppress the occurrence of mold while maintaining the freshness of the tomato by MA packaging, which is the object of the present invention, the oxygen concentration in the package is 4 to 18%, the carbon dioxide concentration is 3 to 17%, and the relative humidity is high. Is 60% or more and less than 100%. More preferably, the relative humidity is 60% or more and 85% or less.
If the oxygen concentration in the package is less than 4%, there is a problem that the tomato is likely to cause respiratory disorders and be easily damaged, and if it exceeds 18%, the respiration of the tomato cannot be sufficiently suppressed, so that the freshness retaining effect is reduced. There is. If the carbon dioxide concentration is less than 3%, respiration of tomatoes cannot be sufficiently suppressed, so that there is a problem that the effect of maintaining freshness is reduced. If it exceeds 17%, there is a problem that tomatoes are likely to suffer respiratory disorders and be easily damaged.
If the relative humidity is less than 60%, there is a problem that tomato wilt progresses rapidly. If the relative humidity is 100%, dew condensation occurs, free water increases, and mold grows.
Note that the relative humidity refers to the relative humidity when in an equilibrium state. Although the relative humidity may be out of the range in a short term due to a sudden change in temperature or the like, it is sufficient if the relative humidity returns to the predetermined range within 12 hours.
[0007]
The oxygen transmission rate and the carbon dioxide transmission rate of the synthetic resin film used for the package are preferably 15,000 to 60000 cc / m ² · day · atm, respectively. Oxygen transmission rate may tomato too low oxygen concentration when the packaging body is less than 15,000cc ^/ m 2 · day · atm is likely damaged occur ethanol and acetaldehyde perform anaerobic respiration, 60000cc / ^{m 2} If it exceeds day.atm, the oxygen concentration in the package will be too high, and the respiration of tomato cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and the freshness holding effect may not be obtained. If the carbon dioxide permeation rate is less than 15,000 cc / m ² · day · atm, the carbon dioxide concentration in the package may become too high, causing a carbon dioxide gas disorder in the tomato and possibly causing the tomato to be easily damaged. ^If it exceeds ² · day · atm, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the package will be too low, and the effect of preventing discoloration by carbon dioxide gas may not be obtained.
[0008]
If the synthetic resin film has an oxygen permeation rate and a carbon dioxide permeation rate of less than 15,000 cc / m ² · day · atm, the synthetic resin film has fine holes having an opening area of 7.1 × 10 ⁻⁸ m ² or less. One or more of one or more of unpenetrated scratches, cracks and cuts having a length of 5 mm or less may be provided. If the opening area of the micropores is larger than 7.1 × 10 ⁻⁸ m ² or the cut length exceeds 5 mm, the influence of the flow becomes large, and the control of the permeation rate of oxygen and carbon dioxide per package can be controlled. It becomes difficult.
[0009]
The water vapor transmission rate of the synthetic resin film is preferably from 50 to 300 g / m ² · day · atm (at 40 ° C./90% RH). If the water vapor transmission rate of the synthetic resin film used for the package is less than 50 g / m ² · day · atm (at 40 ° C./90% RH), the relative humidity in the package becomes 100%, and dew condensation may occur and mold may propagate. On the other hand, if it exceeds 300 g / m ² · day · atm (at 40 ° C./90% RH), the relative humidity in the package may become 60% or less, and the tomato may become very easy to wither. There is.
[0010]
Examples of the synthetic resin film used for the package include polystyrene, polymethylpentene, polybutadiene, polycarbonate, stretched polyamide, unstretched polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, stretched vinylon, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer. Any one of the single-layer films or a laminate thereof, or a stretch film made of polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride can be used.
[0011]
If the average water vapor transmission rate of the package surface area is 50 to 300 g / m ² · day · atm (at 40 ° C./90% RH), for example, one side is a laminated film of polystyrene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and one side is A partially stretched or unstretched polypropylene film such as a flat bag of a laminate film of polypropylene and polyethylene, a polyethylene film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, or the like may be used. The thickness of these films is preferably 10 to 60 μm from the viewpoint of cost. Further, these films may be provided with a sealant layer on their surfaces, or may be films subjected to antifogging treatment.
[0012]
In the present invention, in order to prevent mold, there is an inclusion between the tomato with the curled side facing down and the synthetic resin film as the package. The inclusion has a thickness of 1 to 20 mm, and the weight (g) of the inclusion / the volume (cc) including the void portion of the inclusion is 0.0015 to 0.6. When the thickness of the inclusion is 1 to 20 mm, if the thickness is less than 1 mm, the synthetic resin film and the tomato are too close to each other to prevent dew condensation on the peripheral portion even if an object is interposed, and the thickness is small. Is larger than 20 mm if it is 20 mm or more, and the cost increases. If the weight of inclusions (g) / the volume (cc) including the voids of the inclusions is less than 0.0015, the inclusions may be crushed in a material that does not damage the tomatoes when the tomato is placed and carried. If the thickness exceeds 0.6, the weight of the inclusions becomes heavy, making it difficult to handle, and the material often becomes hard, often causing physical damage to the tomato.
[0013]
The inclusion has at least one through hole having an opening area of 1 mm ² or more, and the tomato and the inclusion are arranged such that the opening is located below the tomato. One example is shown in FIG. FIG. 2 shows an example in which tomatoes are arranged in an inclusion having a through hole and packaged with a synthetic resin film.
If the opening area is less than 1 mm ² , there is a problem that the hole is closed by dust and the like, and the air permeability is easily impaired, and it cannot be easily processed.
[0014]
Tomatoes are often shipped and sold with their curly sides facing down because of their good stability. In this case, if the tomato is placed without taking any countermeasures, the peripheral portion of the towel becomes partially humid, and dew condensation occurs, so that mold is easily generated. The opening area per one tomato is more preferably 7 to 20,000 mm ² . If the opening area per tomato is less than 7 mm ² , air permeability may be insufficient and condensation may not be prevented. If it exceeds 20,000 mm ² , the hole is too large and the tomato cinch directly contacts the synthetic resin film The inclusions may become useless. The number of through-holes may be one or more as long as the condition of the opening area is satisfied, and the shape of the holes may be any shape such as a circle, a triangle, a square, or a star.
[0015]
In addition, the inclusions have a thickness of 1 to 20 mm, the weight of inclusions (g) / the volume (CC) including the voids of the inclusions is 0.0015 to 0.6, and the side of the tomato is downward. When placed, an inclusion having a depression in a part or the whole of the portion in contact with the tomato may be used. FIG. 3 shows an example of the depression.
As described above, an inclusion having a thickness of 1 to 20 mm and a specific gravity of 0.0015 to 0.6 is used.
[0016]
In the case of an inclusion having a dent at a part of the portion in contact with the tomato crust, it is preferable that the amount of water vapor permeation of the inclusion be greater than 300 g / m ² · day · atm (at 40 ° C./90% RH). If the amount of water vapor permeation of the inclusions is less than 300 g / m ² · day · atm (at 40 ° C./90% RH), the portion in contact with the tomato becomes humid and mold may be generated.
In addition, as an inclusion, a net-like one such as a fruit cap may be used as long as it satisfies the condition of the opening area, in addition to making a hole in the inclusion.
[0017]
As the material of the inclusion of the present invention, any material can be used as long as it satisfies the above conditions and does not damage the tomato. Preferably, it has a shape-retaining property such as cardboard, cardboard, expanded polystyrene, or a synthetic resin (polyester, urethane resin, etc.) sponge, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyethylene to protect the tomato from the impact of handling and transportation. , Nonwoven fabric, gourd, Japanese paper, cotton, etc., having a cushioning property, or a combination thereof. Examples of inclusions having depressions include foamed polyurethane, nonwoven fabric, paper, cotton, gourd, and the like.
Also, for example, as a tray or fruit cap such as a styrofoam tray used for selling meat at mass merchandisers, a tray made of corrugated paper or cardboard in a U shape, a tray molded of paper or resin into a fruit shape, etc. May be used. FIG. 4 shows an example of the tray.
[0018]
More preferably, the inclusion of a substance having an antibacterial effect in the inclusion can further suppress the generation of mold. As a method of including a substance having an antibacterial effect in the inclusion, a substance having an antibacterial effect may be applied to the surface of the inclusion or may be mixed in advance with the material of the inclusion.
Examples of the substance having an antibacterial effect include silver, copper, zinc (including zeolites, silica gel, silicates, phosphates such as zirconium phosphate and calcium phosphate, soluble glass, and those supported on activated carbon), and oxidation. Titanium, chitin, chitosan, polyphenols, bamboo or fruit seed extracts.
[0019]
As the sealing method of the present invention, any method such as heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, rubber band, caulking (made of metal, synthetic resin such as polycarbonate), clip, and zipper may be used.
[0020]
Further, it can be used as an MA cardboard box in which the packaging bag of the present invention is integrated with a cardboard box, and can also be used as an inner bag of a returnable box which has been increasingly used in recent years.
