Abstract
Description
この発明は、飲み残したワインの瓶内の酸素を取り除く事により、酸化を防止して風味の劣化を防ぐためのものである。 This invention is to prevent oxidation by preventing the deterioration of flavor by removing oxygen in the wine bottle left over.
ワイン、特に赤ワインは開栓後、空気中の酸素により急速に酸化し、風味、香りが劣化する。そこで、フルボトルの場合はなるべく飲み切るようにし、飲み残した場合は密栓して冷蔵保管し、なるべく早く飲むようにしていた。また、ひとりで飲みきれるハーフボトルもある。一方、開栓後の酸化防止法としては、業務用では、瓶のコルクを瓶内の空気が入れ替わらないように専用の栓に替え、窒素ガスなどの不活性ガスでワインを押し出すことにより空気と接触させず、酸化を防ぐサーバーが開発されている。しかし、それは個人で使用する規模ではないため、一般の家庭では、密栓した後に手動ポンプにより瓶内の空気を吸い出す方法、瓶内の空気を窒素、二酸化炭素と置換する方法などが用いられている。 Wine, especially red wine, is rapidly oxidized by oxygen in the air after opening, and the flavor and aroma deteriorate. Therefore, in the case of full bottles, they were consumed as much as possible, and when they were left over, they were sealed and refrigerated for storage as soon as possible. There are also half-bottles that you can drink alone. On the other hand, as an antioxidant method after opening the bottle, for business use, the cork of the bottle is replaced with a dedicated stopper so that the air in the bottle is not replaced, and the air is pushed out by extruding wine with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas. Servers have been developed to prevent oxidation without contacting them. However, since it is not a scale for personal use, ordinary households use a method of sucking out air in a bottle with a manual pump after sealing and a method of replacing the air in the bottle with nitrogen or carbon dioxide. .
しかし、多人数で飲みきれる場合や、業務用サーバーが使える場合は良いが、家庭などで一人で飲みきれない場合や、数種類を飲み較べたい場合には、良い保存法が無いのが現状である。最も一般的な、密栓して冷蔵保管する方法では、瓶内の空気に含まれる酸素により次第に酸化が進み、長期間本来の風味を維持するのは困難である。また、手動ポンプで瓶内の空気を抜く方法では完全に空気を抜くわけにはいかず、かなりの酸素が残り、酸化の進行を遅くするのがせいぜいである。さらに、抜く空気と共に香りの成分も排出されるうえ、減圧することにより、わずかではあるがワインからも肝心の香りの成分、アルコール分が抜けてしまうという問題がある。一方、不活性ガスを瓶内に満たす方法では事前に専用のガスを用意しなければならず、手間がかかる。
よって、本発明では、瓶内の酸素を除去することにより、飲み残しのワインの酸化を防止しようというものである。また、それは手軽かつ低コストである事を目標とする。However, it is good if you can drink with a large number of people or if you can use a business server, but if you can not drink it alone at home or if you want to compare several types, there is no good preservation method . In the most general method of tightly plugging and refrigerated storage, oxidation gradually proceeds due to oxygen contained in the air in the bottle, and it is difficult to maintain the original flavor for a long time. Also, the method of extracting air from the bottle with a manual pump cannot completely remove the air, so that a considerable amount of oxygen remains and slows down the progress of oxidation. Furthermore, there is a problem that the scent component is discharged together with the extracted air, and the essential scent component and the alcohol content are removed from the wine, though slightly, by reducing the pressure. On the other hand, in the method of filling an inert gas in a bottle, a dedicated gas must be prepared in advance, which takes time.
Therefore, in the present invention, by removing oxygen in the bottle, it is intended to prevent oxidation of the wine left over. It also aims to be easy and low cost.
方法としては、
イ)ワインの瓶を密閉できる栓1aの下部に、ボトルネックに入るように加工した脱酸素剤3を、取り付ける。
ロ)ワインを開栓し、必要量を取り出した後、イ)を瓶に差し込み、密閉する。と、する。As a method,
B) The oxygen scavenger 3 processed so as to enter the bottleneck is attached to the lower part of the stopper 1a that can seal the wine bottle.
B) Open the wine and take out the required amount, then insert a) into the bottle and seal it. And do.
密閉された瓶の空気中に設置された脱酸素剤は、瓶内の酸素を吸収し、ほぼ無酸素状態(脱酸素剤メーカーによる公表データでは、条件によっては0.1%以下)となる。よって、ワインの酸化は、瓶内の空気の影響によるものは、ほぼ止めることができる。なお、脱酸素剤の成分によっては酸素を吸着する際に発熱があるが、瓶の上部であり、保存は冷蔵庫内で行われることが多いので、下のワインに対する影響は少ない。また、酸素が吸着されて消滅するため、瓶内は減圧されるが、手動ポンプによる減圧ほどではない。瓶内の空気が排出されるわけではないため、香りの成分の減少も少ない。 The oxygen scavenger installed in the air of the sealed bottle absorbs oxygen in the bottle and becomes almost oxygen-free (0.1% or less depending on conditions according to published data from the oxygen scavenger manufacturer). Therefore, the oxidation of wine can be almost stopped due to the influence of air in the bottle. Depending on the components of the oxygen scavenger, heat is generated when oxygen is adsorbed. However, since it is at the top of the bottle and is often stored in the refrigerator, it has little effect on the wine below. Moreover, since oxygen is adsorbed and disappears, the inside of the bottle is decompressed, but not as much as the decompression by the manual pump. Since the air in the bottle is not discharged, there is little decrease in the scent component.
基本的な構成および効果は以上であるが、実際には脱酸素剤の取り付け方によって、
イ)樹脂やゴム製の専用の栓に、着脱可能な脱酸素剤のカートリッジを取り付けて使用する(図2、請求項1のもの)。
ロ)抜いたコルクに脱酸素剤のカートリッジを後から取り付けて、コルクを再使用する(図3、請求項2のもの)。
が、考えられる。
イ)では、別に樹脂やゴム製の栓が必要になるが、完全に密閉されるので空気の遮断も十分である。また、カートリッジの固定もしっかりとしたものにできる。固定の方法であるが、栓にじかに固定すると嵩ばり、使用後は栓ごと捨てることになるため、廃棄物も増える。また、脱酸素剤は使用直前まで密封して空気から遮断しておく必要がある。よって、栓との接合部2(固定方法は、各種考えられる)を介して脱着できるようにしておくことにより、脱酸素材のカートリッジのみを交換することができ、廃棄部分が減るうえに脱酸素材のカートリッジの管理も容易になる。
ロ)では、栓がコルクであるので、コルクに刺して固定できるような尖ったピンの下に、脱酸素剤の入ったカートリッジを取り付ける。これの良い点は、抜いたコルクを再利用することから、安価である、手軽であることである。ピンの材質は何でも良いが、ピンの材質を選ぶことにより、廃棄する際の分別、製造などを容易にできる。一番簡単な構成としては、ボトルネックを通過できるよう細長い酸素透過フィルムにはさんだ脱酸素剤のパッケージ(その方形のものは一般的に菓子袋などに使用されている)に、樹脂製のピンを接着したものである(図4)。ロ)の欠点としては、使用する栓が一度抜いたコルクであり、手で刺し戻すことから、密閉が完全でない場合がある、再度抜く場合にコルクが折れる、カートリッジが瓶内に落下するなどが考えられる。また、スクリューキャップを用いたワインには使用できない。しかし、イ)の栓の内側をコルクやゴムなどの材質や、ピンを刺す穴または切れ込みを入れるなどすれば、イ)の栓をそのまま使う事が可能である。
なお、イ)、ロ)共、接合部にひもを介して脱酸素剤を取り付ければより瓶内の空気の中央に脱酸素剤を設置できるため、酸素の吸収が速くなる利点がある。
以上のいずれかの方法を適宜選択することにより、ほぼ全てのワインの瓶に適用することができる。また、本発明は、高級な日本酒など、ワイン同様に酸化を防止したい飲料、嗜好品、薬品に対しても利用、応用可能である。Basic configuration and effect are the above, but in practice, depending on how the oxygen scavenger is attached,
B) A removable oxygen scavenger cartridge is attached to a dedicated stopper made of resin or rubber for use (FIG. 2, claim 1).
B) A deoxidizer cartridge is attached to the removed cork later, and the cork is reused (in FIG. 3, claim 2).
Is possible.
In (b), a resin or rubber stopper is required, but it is completely sealed so that air can be shut off sufficiently. Also, the cartridge can be firmly fixed. Although it is a fixing method, it is bulky if it is fixed directly to the stopper, and after use, the entire stopper is discarded, resulting in an increase in waste. Moreover, it is necessary to seal the oxygen scavenger until just before use and to keep it from air. Therefore, it is possible to replace only the cartridge of the deoxidizing material by allowing it to be detached and attached through the joint portion 2 (various fixing methods are conceivable), reducing the waste portion and deoxidizing. Management of material cartridges is also facilitated.
In (b), since the stopper is a cork, a cartridge containing an oxygen scavenger is attached under a sharp pin that can be inserted into the cork and fixed. The good point of this is that it is cheap and easy to reuse the cork that has been removed. Any material can be used for the pin, but by selecting the material for the pin, it is possible to easily separate and manufacture the product at the time of disposal. The simplest configuration is a package of oxygen scavenger sandwiched between elongated oxygen-permeable films that can pass through the bottleneck (the square is commonly used for confectionery bags, etc.), and resin pins Are adhered (FIG. 4). B) Disadvantages are corks that have been pulled out once, and since they are pierced by hand, the sealing may not be complete, the cork may break when removed again, or the cartridge falls into the bottle. Conceivable. Moreover, it cannot be used for wine using a screw cap. However, it is possible to use the plug of A) as it is if the inside of the plug of A) is made of a material such as cork or rubber, or a hole or notch is inserted into the pin.
In addition, both a) and b) have an advantage that oxygen absorption can be accelerated because the oxygen scavenger can be installed in the center of the air in the bottle if the oxygen scavenger is attached to the joint via a string.
By selecting one of the above methods as appropriate, it can be applied to almost all wine bottles. The present invention can also be used and applied to beverages, luxury goods, and medicines that are desired to prevent oxidation, such as high-grade sake, like wine.
最後に、実際に試作したものについて述べる。測定器が無かったため酸素濃度の測定などはできなかったが、再開栓時、対照の従来どおりの保管法によるものは常圧だったのに対して本発明品を用いたものの瓶内は負圧だった事、取り外した脱酸素材が再び発熱したことから、瓶内の酸素は吸収され、極めて少なかったと推測される。また、官能試験では、本発明品を用いたものと、対照の従来どおりの保管法によるものでは、香りにおいてかなりの違いがみられた。よって、本発明は、開栓後のワインの保管には十分な効果があると思われる。 Finally, we will describe the actual prototype. Oxygen concentration could not be measured because there was no measuring instrument, but at the time of restarting the stopper, the conventional storage method was normal pressure, while the product using the product of the present invention was negative pressure. Because the deoxidized material that was removed generated heat again, it was assumed that the oxygen in the bottle was absorbed and very little. Further, in the sensory test, there was a considerable difference in scent between the one using the product of the present invention and the one according to the conventional storage method of the control. Therefore, the present invention seems to be sufficiently effective for storing wine after opening.
