【産業上の利用分野】
本発明はトルコキキョウ、ラン、ユリ、カトレア、バンダ、シンビジュウム、アンセリュウム等の従来、押し花やドライフラワーに不向きな花をきれいな押し花やドライフラワーにすることができる押し花の製造方法および押し花等の脱水溶液に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、トルコキキョウ、ラン、ユリ、カトレア、バンダ、シンビジュウム、アンセリュウム等の押し花用の生花を押し花にするには、生花をそのままあるいはサンドペーパーで傷をつけた後、乾燥マットに挟み、加重して数日放置して乾燥させている。
また、従来のドライフラワーを作る方法はドライフラワー用の生花をシリカゲルに埋め込み、乾燥させている。
【０００３】
【本発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の生花をそのまま乾燥マットに挟んで押し圧する方法では、水分や蛋白質が生花より容易に除去されないため、乾燥させると変色したり、退色したりしてきれいな押し花を作ることができないという欠点があった。
また、生花の裏面にサンドペーパーで傷をつけて水分を除去する方法では、効率よく水分を除去することができるが、傷によって酸化し、茶色に変色したり、白くなったり、透明になったりして元の色にならないという欠点があった。
また、ドライフラワーも押し花と同様に変色したり、退色したりし、元の色にならないという欠点があった。
【０００４】
本発明は以上のような従来の欠点に鑑み、押し花にする生花やドライフラワーにする生花を傷つけたりすることなく、効率よく生花の水分を除去し、酵素の活動を阻止し、変色したり、退色したりすることなく、原色のままの色の押し花やドライフラワーにすることができる押し花の製造方法、ドライフラワーの製造方法および押し花等の脱水溶液を提供することを目的としている。
