[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging container for storing, distributing and selling over-the-counter flowers in a refrigerator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, flower ginger is poorly preserved, so that it is distributed and sold promptly after harvesting. As a package for distribution and sale, a vinyl chloride sheet, an expanded polystyrene sheet, or the like is vacuum-formed. Put the flowers in a tray container and stretch-wrap them with a vinyl chloride film, polyethylene film, etc., or use a vinyl chloride container or a polystyrene container with a lid integrated at the hinge part. After being inserted, the tip is stopped with a stapler or scotch tape, or the tip is stopped with an ultrasonic seal.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The harvesting time of flowering ginger is concentrated in about two months from August to September, and it is poor in preservability. Therefore, technology for long-term preservation has been desired. The present inventors have repeated research on basic technologies for long-term storage, and in an environment that satisfies the following conditions, the flower ginger can maintain its appearance, aroma, and commercial properties for about 70 days. (Refer to 1989 Achievement Information (Kanto Tokai Agriculture), pp. 519-520, published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Agricultural Research Center in June 1989).

[0004] Flower gyoza with less advanced ripeness without visible petals is used. Store the flowers in a standing state. Store in a closed state in a container such as a polypropylene container or a drawn polypropylene container. Store at a low temperature of about 2 ° C.

[0005] The inventors of the present invention have further studied the environment that enables long-term preservation of flowering ginger.
When the oxygen concentration and the carbon dioxide gas concentration in the sealed container after 40 to 70 days have been measured under the environment described above, the values were 0.5 to 7.0.
0% and 1.0-8.0% of carbon dioxide gas, and the environment is suitable for the preservation of flower ginger produced by the gas permeability of the film constituting the bag and the respiration of flower ginger. It was found that it was an optimal MA storage environment.

Accordingly, in addition to the above-mentioned conditions, an MA containing 0.5 to 7.0% of oxygen and 1.0 to 8.0% of carbon dioxide is used.
If a package of flower ginger is made in a state where it can be kept in a stored state, the flower ginger can withstand long-term storage, and can be transported to the consumption area and sold as it is after packaging at the production area. have. However, it is difficult to use the package of the conventionally used flower ginger as it is in preserving the flower ginger under such conditions for a long period of time. That is, a flower ginger is put in a tray container formed by vacuum-forming a vinyl chloride sheet, expanded polystyrene sheet, or the like, and is stretch-wrapped with a vinyl chloride film, a polyethylene film, or the like, or a lid made of vinyl chloride in which a hinge is integrated at a hinge portion. Using a container or a container made of polystyrene, the tip is stopped with a stapler, scotch tape, or with an ultrasonic seal after the flowers are put into the container.
% To 7%, carbon dioxide gas 1% to 8% cannot be stored in MA, and it is not a packaging form suitable for preserving a flower ginger in an upright state.

Further, even if the above-mentioned environment can be created under specific experimental conditions, it is not possible to apply the conditions as they are, after packaging at the production site, and then directly to the consuming region for sale. Have difficulty. The present invention realizes MA storage and storage in a standing state at a practical level for long-term storage of flower ginger, and enables distribution and over-the-counter sales as it is after packaging. It is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging container for a flower ginger.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies and found that 50 to 200 g of flower gyoza, which is usually sold in stores, has an oxygen content of 0.5 g. 5% -7%, carbon dioxide gas 1% -8%
As a material of a bag body capable of creating and maintaining the MA storage environment, the oxygen permeability at 23 ° C. is 500 to 5000 cc / m 2.
^We found that a synthetic resin film of 2.24 hrs.atm was optimal, and that it was practical to use a tray with a U-shaped cross section for storing and transporting flowers in a standing state. The idea was completed.

[0009] That is, the packaging container for flower ginger of the present invention comprises a tray body having a bottom panel and at least a pair of side panels connected to the bottom parnee, and a cylindrical body for accommodating the tray body on which the flower ginger is placed. The bag has an oxygen permeability at 23 ° C. of 500 to 5000.
It is a package made of synthetic resin film of cc / m ² · 24 hrs · atm, characterized in that both ends of the bag can be closed and sealed. .

The bag may be made of a heat-fusible synthetic resin film, and both ends of the bag may be closed and sealed by heat sealing. The tray may be box-shaped. This is a preferred embodiment. The package of the flower ginger, which is closed and hermetically sealed by using the package for the flower ginger, is stored and transported as it is after being packed in the production area, and is arranged at the store in the consumption area.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a package of a flower ginger packaged by using a packaging container for a flower ginger of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, a flower ginger 3 is placed on a tray body 1 having a bottom panel 1 ′ and at least a pair of side panels 1 ″ connected to the bottom panel, and the flower ginger 3 is formed into a cylindrical shape together with the tray body 1. In the bag 2. This bag 3 is 23
Oxygen transmission at ℃ is 500~5000cc / m ² · 24hr
It is made of a synthetic resin film of s · atm, and both ends 4, 5 are closed and sealed. The direction in which the flowers are placed can be either perpendicular to the side panel of the tray (Fig. 1) or parallel (Fig. 2), but for storage and distribution, raise the package by 90 ° and set the side panel to the bottom. The cardboard box or container is collected in a cardboard box or container in a state where the flowers are upright, or the package is collected in the cardboard box or container.
Fold it down at 0 ° and store and distribute it in a state where the flowers are standing.

The tray 1 serves as a partition plate for keeping the flowers in the upright position when the flowers are stacked in a cardboard box or container, and for protecting the flowers from the pressure from all sides. Fulfill. For this purpose, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, side trays 1 "are continuously provided on the remaining one or two sides of the bottom panel 1 'as shown in FIGS. Alternatively, the object can be further achieved by using a box-shaped tray as a whole like a double lock type tray body in FIG.

The tray body 1 is made of paperboard such as coated cardboard,
It is obtained by cutting a corrugated cardboard and bending it into a U-shape, or by forming a sheet made of a thermoplastic resin such as vinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene, or polypropylene by a vacuum forming method or a pressure forming method.
The bag body 2 is formed by using a tubular film formed by sticking a tubular film or a flat film on the body, storing the tray body on which the flower ginger is placed, and closing and sealing both ends. The method of closing and sealing the both ends is not particularly limited. However, when it is made of a heat-fusible material, it can be sealed by heat sealing, and workability is particularly good.

Since the bag 2 is for maintaining the freshness of the flower ginger, its material is to reduce the oxygen concentration inside the bag when the flower ginger is packed and stored at a low temperature of about 2 ° C. It must maintain the concentration between 0.5% and 7% and the concentration of carbon dioxide between 1% and 8%. According to the study of the present inventors, a material satisfying this condition has an oxygen permeability of 50 at 23 ° C.
0 to 5000 cc / m ² · 24 hrs · atm Synthetic resin film can be used. For example, low density polyethylene film, linear low density polyethylene film, medium density polyethylene film, high density polyeletin film, polybutadiene film, unstretched polypropylene Films and biaxially oriented polypropylene films can be used.
