[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial field of application" The present invention uses starch-containing water-containing foods, which are the most perishable foods, without using additives such as synthetic preservatives and synthetic bactericides. The present invention relates to a starch-containing water-containing food package which can be efficiently preserved with almost no loss. "Prior art" For the purpose of imparting preservability to starch-containing water-containing foods, hydrogen peroxide, glycine, propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, fatty acid monoglyceride, organic acids, etc. have been made to coexist, and sufficient heat sterilization is performed. Although methods have been carried out, these methods have problems such as deterioration of flavor and physical properties of foods, and safety of human body due to excessive use of additives. Also, for the purpose of inhibiting the growth of aerobic microorganisms that contaminate food,
Although degassing packaging or gas replacement packaging may be performed, it is difficult to remove oxygen gas almost completely, and it is also difficult to completely prevent permeation of oxygen gas in the atmosphere into the bag or container. The above-mentioned purpose of inhibiting growth has not been fully achieved. Therefore, when sealing a food using a film with low oxygen gas permeability, a method of coexisting a package of an oxygen scavenger and removing almost completely the oxygen gas in the package and the oxygen gas penetrating from the atmosphere Has been developed and has been quite effective. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the oxygen absorber has a high risk of leaking out of the package and contaminating the food, and heat sterilization of the food with the oxygen absorber reduces the function of the oxygen absorber, Further, the heat sterilization treatment is inappropriate because it may promote the leakage, and therefore it is difficult to sterilize heat-labile bacteria that can grow even in the absence of oxygen gas. Further, JP-A-53-15268 and JP-A-52-110841 disclose methods for preventing leakage and contamination of oxygen scavenger components. However, in both cases, the oxygen scavenger itself was devised, and the oxygen scavenger package was enclosed together with food in a small oxygen gas permeable bag, so there were the following problems. . That is, when heat sterilizing after packaging, there is a possibility that the function of the oxygen scavenger may be reduced, surface adhesive strength such as boiled udon is strong, and in the case of soft food, if the oxygen absorber package is directly attached, There is a risk that the food surface will be damaged and the appearance will be deteriorated, or that it will fall off or be peeled off and the food piece may block the ventilating part of the oxygen absorber package and inhibit the function of the oxygen absorber. If the package of (3) is directly attached, the package of the oxygen scavenger may enter the inside of the food and be difficult to find from the outside, and the consumer may erroneously "cook" the oxygen absorber. "Problems to be solved by the device" The present inventor has solved all of the above problems and has investigated a packaged food that does not inhibit the function of the oxygen absorber and does not misidentify the oxygen absorber. . "Means to solve the problem" Conventionally, the oxygen absorber package was enclosed in a bag or container together with the unwrapped food. It is presumed that this was due to what was thought not to be done. Therefore, it is considered that the adoption of double packaging, which is considered to be a conventional means, was actively excluded for foods using an oxygen absorber. Therefore, the present inventor chose a bag with high oxygen gas permeability, and put a food package containing a food exhibiting high water activity and a package of oxygen scavenger into a bag with small oxygen permeability. As a result of an experiment focusing on sealing, the present invention was completed by discovering that this configuration can also sufficiently achieve the preservation purpose. That is, the present invention is oxygen gas permeability larger plastic film bag of it "oxygen gas permeability of 1000cc / m 2 / 24hr / atm or higher, water activity 0.90
The package 1 encapsulating starch hydrous foods showing the (measurement temperature 25 ° C.) or higher, and a package 2 of the oxygen absorber, the oxygen gas permeability of oxygen gas transmission rate is less than 100cc / m 2 / 24hr / atm The present invention relates to a starch-containing water-containing food package, which is characterized in that it is put in a bag 3 made of a plastic film having a low property or a laminated film of plastic and aluminum and completely sealed. In this invention, water activity of starchy hydrous foods, noodles, cooked rice, and all foods produced mainly from starch or starches (measured by the graph insertion method at 25 ° C) Is 0.90 or more, for example, boiled udon, raw udon, boiled Japanese buckwheat, raw Japanese buckwheat noodles, steamed Chinese noodles, raw Chinese noodles, white rice, red rice, gome rice and noodle-like foods that are manufactured mainly from rice are listed. To be Foods having a water activity of less than 0.90 fall into the category of so-called intermediate-moisture foods or dry foods and exhibit appropriate preservability, and are therefore excluded from the foods of the present invention. In the present invention, a bag made of a plastic film having high oxygen gas permeability means that the oxygen gas permeability of the film is about 1000cc.
/ M 2/24 hr / atm refers to those (20 ℃ · 80% RH) or more,
Polyethylene and polypropylene are the most suitable. The oxygen gas permeability of small plastic film or plastic and the aluminum bag made from laminated films, the oxygen gas permeability of the film is about 100cc / m 2/2
4 hours / atm (20 ℃ ・ 80% RH) or less, for example, a laminated film of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester or cellophane and vinylidene chloride, vinylon and a laminated film of the plastic film and aluminum are most suitable. is there. As an oxygen scavenger that can be used in the present invention, ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid and salts thereof, dithionite,
One or more reducing substances such as ferrous oxide, ferrous sulfate, tannin, lignin, butylhydroxytoluene, and butylhydroxyanisole, and, if necessary, these and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal water. Blends with oxides, activated carbon, water and other powdery or granular substances or porous substances can be mentioned. It is suitable to seal the above oxygen scavenger in a bag or container made of paper or the like that allows easy permeation of oxygen gas. In the present invention, when the starch-containing water-containing food is enclosed in a plastic film bag having a high oxygen gas permeability, the object of the present invention can be fully achieved even if the container is completely sealed, but the enclosed food does not leak to the outside. Further effects can be expected by providing the flow holes. The gas flow holes may be provided by intermittent sealing at the time of the encapsulation, or one or two or more pin holes or more may be provided before, during, or after encapsulating the food. Is also good. If the food is contaminated with microorganisms that can proliferate even in the absence of oxygen gas, it is desirable to sterilize the food by heating it after enclosing it in a plastic film bag having a large oxygen gas permeability. . Examples will be shown below. Example 1 200 g of boiled udon produced by a conventional method was enclosed in polyethylene (thickness 0.04 mm) so that the air content was about 30% to obtain a starch-containing water-containing food package 1. The package 1 and an oxygen absorber (sodium dithionite 0.
5 g, a mixture of 2 g of calcium hydroxide, 0.2 g of activated carbon and 0.1 g of water) was enclosed in a paper bag to obtain a packaging body 2 and a laminated film of polyethylene (0.4 mm thickness) and vinylidene chloride (0.022 mm thickness). The bag 3 (hereinafter referred to as a gas barrier bag) having a low oxygen gas permeability made in (4) was completely sealed and the boiled udon package (A) according to the present invention was obtained. Separately, 200 g of unwrapped boiled udon obtained in Example 1 and the package 2 of the oxygen scavenger were completely sealed in a gas barrier bag 3 so that the air content was about 30%. A package (B) was obtained. The boiled udon packages of (A) and (B) were stored in a Flanker at 25 ° C for 1 week, and no normal mold or spoilage was observed, but the normal appearance was observed. In the boiled udon, part of the oxygen scavenger component leaked out and caused contamination. Example 2 200 g of red rice produced according to a conventional method was placed in a polypropylene bag and sealed to obtain a starch-containing water-containing food package 1. This 10
Sterilized by steam heating at 0 ° C for 20 minutes. After cooling, it was degassed and hermetically sealed in a gas barrier bag 3 together with a package 2 of the oxygen scavenger having the same composition as in Example 1 to obtain a starch-containing water-containing food package according to the present invention. When the package was stored in a Flan container at 25 ° C., it showed a normal appearance even after 60 days. In addition, the package of red rice under the same conditions except that the oxygen scavenger was not used in the above-mentioned example was putrefaction (melted) on the 7th day of storage. Example 3 A commercially available mochi was put in a polyethylene bag (0.03 mm thick) and degassed and sealed (A), intermittently sealed (B), and pinholes were provided at several places after sealing (C). A total of 6 pieces of 2 pieces, together with a package 2 of the oxygen scavenger having the same composition as in Example 1, were air-tightly sealed in a gas barrier bag 3, 25
When stored in a furan container at ℃, (B) and (C) showed a normal appearance even after 30 days, but (A) had microscopic mold after 3 days of storage, and no further growth was observed. It was The deaeration-sealed section (A) was heated at 100 ° C. for 5 minutes, cooled, and then subjected to the same procedure as in the above-mentioned Example, and showed a normal appearance after 30 days. "Effect" Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following special effects. There is no risk of oxygen absorber leaking out of its packaging and contaminating food. Since only the package of food can be heated, it is possible to sterilize heat-labile bacteria that can grow even in the absence of oxygen gas without lowering the function of the oxygen scavenger. In the case of soft foods such as boiled udon that have strong surface adhesiveness and are soft, if the oxygen absorber packaging is directly attached, the food surface may be damaged and the appearance may be deteriorated, or the removed or peeled food pieces may be packaged with oxygen absorber. It may block the ventilated parts of the body and interfere with the function of the oxygen scavenger. The present invention has no such fear. If the oxygen absorber package is directly attached to the food, the oxygen absorber package may enter the inside of the food product and become difficult to find from the outside, so that the consumer erroneously "cooks" the oxygen absorber.
It is often seen that they "eat". The present invention does not have such a fear.
