【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は加熱殺菌処理した総菜類の保存方法に関する。さらに詳しくは、脱酸素性多層体からなる包装容器又は袋に惣菜類を密封して加熱殺菌処理して保存する惣菜類の保存方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、食品の保存技術の一つとして脱酸素剤を用いる包装技術、すなわち脱酸素剤包装技術が確立され、食品、医薬品の保存等、様々な分野で利用されている。脱酸素剤包装は、バリア性の包装容器や袋内に被保存物を脱酸素剤と共に密封包装するものである。同封した脱酸素剤が系内の酸素を吸収して無酸素状態に保つことにより、食品等の酸化劣化、油脂分の酸化劣化、変褐色防止、風味保持、細菌やカビの繁殖防止等を図ることができる。脱酸素剤包装に用いられる脱酸素剤は、酸素吸収能を有する鉄粉等の還元性物質を主剤とする脱酸素剤組成物からなり、通常、脱酸素剤の粉粒体を通気性小袋に充填して脱酸素剤包装体(「小袋状脱酸素剤」ということがある)として用いられる。
【0003】
一方、液体を含んだ食品の長期保存技術に、レトルト処理と言われる高温殺菌による保存技術がある。これは、食品等の被保存物をバリア性の容器に充填、密封した後、容器ごと100℃以上の温度で加熱処理を方法であり、腐敗の原因となる細菌を加熱殺菌することによって食品の長期保存が可能となる。しかし、この方法の場合、加熱処理時容器内に残存する酸素や保存中に容器外から透過侵入する酸素の存在により、油脂の酸化劣化、味の変質、劣化、変色が起こる場合があった。特に油揚げ、昆布、昆布巻き、黒豆等の惣菜類では、油脂の酸化劣化による変色、味、風味劣化が著しく、加熱処理を行っただけでは、長期保存は極めて困難であった。
【0004】
そこで脱酸素剤包装した包装体を高温で加熱殺菌しようとすると、通常の小袋状脱酸素剤は耐熱性、耐液性がないために、レトルト処理のような条件下では破袋して脱酸素剤がこぼれ出たり、液が小袋内に染み込み酸素吸収能が停止し足りするために、使用できない。特開昭63−219359には、通気性包材を改良した小袋状脱酸素剤を用いたレトルト食品の保存方法が知られているが、液汁も多く性状も雑多な食品からなる惣菜類の場合、長期保存の耐液性は必ずしも万全でなく、また小袋状脱酸素剤を用いる脱酸素剤包装は、小袋状脱酸素剤の取扱いも面倒であり、誤って口に入れる恐れもあり、日常食品である惣菜類の包装保存にはあまり向かない。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとしている課題】
本発明は、総菜類の包装保存方法の上記課題を解決し、総菜類を少なくとも100℃以上の温度で加熱殺菌処理し、食感、色、フレバー、栄養素等、食品独特の品質を損なうことなく長期に保存することを可能とする惣菜類の保存方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、惣菜類の保存容器として、脱酸素性樹脂組成物からなる酸素吸収層を中間層として、中間層の外側にガスバリア性樹脂からなるバリア層と、中間層の内側に酸素透過性樹脂からなる酸素透過層とを配した脱酸素性多層体からなる包装容器又は袋を用いることにより、容易に解決できることを見出した。
【0007】
すなわち、本発明は、脱酸素性樹脂組成物からなる酸素吸収層を中間層として、中間層の外側にガスバリア性樹脂からなるガスバリア層と、中間層の内側に酸素透過性樹脂からなる酸素透過層とを配した脱酸素性多層体からなる包装容器に惣菜類を密封し、100℃以上、150℃以下の温度で加熱処理することを特徴とする。
【0008】
上記本発明において惣菜類は、日常、家庭で「おかず」として食される加工調理した食品を言う。本発明に係わる惣菜類は、食材が単一とは限らず、性状も雑多で、本発明の目的に適う調理食品であればよく、例えば、煮物、揚げ物、蒸し物、酢の物、和え物等が挙げられ、中でも液汁を含む煮物、特に油脂分や栄養分に富み、また色調に特徴のある煮物が好ましい。
【0009】
本発明に係わる脱酸素多層体においては、酸素吸収層を構成する脱酸素性樹脂組成物には脱酸素剤組成物が含まれ、脱酸素剤組成物としては、鉄粉を主剤とする脱酸素剤組成物が好ましい。また脱酸素多層体のガスバリア層を構成するガスバリア性樹脂は、ポリメタキシリレンアジパミド、非晶性ポリアミド又はこれらの混合物が好ましい。
【0010】
また本発明に係わる包装容器は容器の全部又は一部がフィルム状又はシート状の脱酸素性多層体からなり、脱酸素性能を備えた容器として機能する。本発明に係わる包装容器の形態は、例えば、袋、カップ、トレイ、ボトルであり、脱酸素性多層体が酸素透過層を内側にして成形加工されたもの、またガスバリア性の包装容器の部材として使用された包装容器である。
【0011】
本発明の方法においては、上記構成の脱酸素性多層体かなる脱酸素性能を備えた容器に液汁や油脂分の多い惣菜類を密封して100℃〜150℃の温度で加熱処理することにより、酸素吸収層の脱酸素性樹脂組成物が酸素透過層を介して惣菜類から水分を得、脱酸素能を発揮して容器内の酸素を吸収除去し、これによって酸素存在下での高温処理による弊害をなくすると共に、その後は容器外部からの酸素の侵入を防いで加熱殺菌処理した惣菜類を実質的に無酸素状態に保ち、食品独特の食感、色、フレバー等の品質を損なうことなく長期に惣菜類の保存を可能とする。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に係わる脱酸素性多層体の層構成の具体例は、例えば、図1のごとく、内層10(酸素透過層)/中間層20(酸素吸収層)/接着層31/外層30(ガスバリア層)/接着層32/保護層33なる構成で示される。本発明に用いられる脱酸素性多層体は、内層、中間層及び外層のみから構成されるとは限らず、これら主層に必要に応じて更に他の層を付加することができ、上記具体例は外層30(ガスバリア層)の両側に1乃至複数の他の層を付加した場合を示す。ここで、外層30は、この多層体をもって形成した包装容器の外部からの侵入酸素を阻止する役割を果たす。中間層20は酸素吸収層であり、外層が阻止し得ない酸素の吸収と、容器内の酸素を内層を介して吸収する役割を果たす。内層10は酸素透過層であり、中間層の酸素吸収層と容器内の収納物との直接接触を防ぐ隔離層としての役割に加え、酸素吸収層がその酸素吸収機能を充分に発揮できるように容器内の酸素を迅速かつ効率よく透過させる役割を果す。
【0013】
以下、本発明に係わる脱酸素性多層体について図1に沿って順次説明する。
内層(酸素透過層)の酸素透過性樹脂としては、熱可塑性樹脂が好ましく用いられ、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリブタジエン、ポリメチルペンテン等のポリオレフィン類、前記樹脂の変性物、前記樹脂とシリコン樹脂とのグラフト重合物、ポリエチレンテレフタレート等のポリエステル、ナイロン6、ナイロン66等のポリアミド、アイオノマー、エラストマー等が用いられる。100℃以上の温度で加熱殺菌処理するため、耐熱性の点から、ポリプロピレン、ポリメチルペンテン、ナイロン6、ナイロン66、又ポリエチレンテレフタレートが好適に用いられる。
【0014】
内層の樹脂には、次に説明する中間層の酸素吸収性樹脂と相溶性のある樹脂を選ぶことにより、内層と中間層を共押出しして積層接着することが可能となる。また内層は、包装容器の最内層として、シーラント層の役割を果たすことが多く、内層にヒートシール可能な樹脂を選択することが好ましい。また内層にヒートシール性を付与するために、内層の内面側に更にヒートシール性の層を設けてもよい。尚、該内層またはヒートシール性の層の樹脂には、必要に応じて顔料等の着色剤、充填剤、帯電防止剤、安定剤等の添加剤を配合することができる。
【0015】
上記内層は、前述のごとく容器内収納物と酸素吸収層との隔離の役割を果たすと共に、酸素を迅速かつ効率よく透過する機能が必要であり、前記ヒートシール性の層等、他の層の存在の有無や内層自体の厚みにかかわらず、内層の酸素透過度は少なくとも100cc/m2 ・day・atm(23℃、100%RH)以上である必要がある。このため、内層の膜厚は、強度、加工性、コスト等が許す範囲でなるべく薄くし、酸素透過性を大きくすることが好ましい。また内層は必ずしも無孔の樹脂層とは限らず、前記熱可塑性樹脂からなる酸素透過性のよい微多孔膜や不織布であってもよい。
【0016】
中間層(酸素吸収層)の酸素吸収性樹脂組成物は、樹脂に脱酸素剤組成物を混練、分散した樹脂組成物である。脱酸素剤組成物は特に限定されず、公知の脱酸素剤組成物を用いることができ、例えば、鉄粉等の金属粉、鉄化合物などの還元性無機物質、多価フェノール類、多価アルコール類、アスコルビン酸又はその塩などの還元性有機物質または金属錯体等を酸素吸収反応の主剤とする脱酸素剤組成物が用いられる。これらの中でも、脱酸素性多層体を脱酸素性能に優れたものとするためには、鉄粉を主剤とする脱酸素剤組成物が好ましく、鉄粉とハロゲン化金属からなる脱酸素組成物が優れる。特にハロゲン化金属で表面を被服した鉄粉が好適に用いられる。脱酸素剤組成物は酸素吸収層中において、水分を得て酸素を吸収することが可能となる。
【0017】
脱酸素剤組成物の主剤の鉄粉としては、熱可塑性樹脂中に分散可能で酸素吸収反応を起こすことができるものであれば特に制限はなく、通常脱酸素剤として用いられる鉄粉が使用できる。鉄粉は平均粒径で5〜200μm 以下が好ましく、50μm 以下が特に好ましい。平滑な酸素吸収層を形成するためには、鉄粉粒子の大きさは脱酸素樹脂層の膜厚を越えることなく細かい方が好ましい。したがって、鉄粉主剤の脱酸素剤組成物は粒状物として用いられ、その大きさも平均粒径で5〜200μm が好ましく、5〜50μm がより好ましい。
【0018】
ハロゲン化金属としては、例えば、アルカリ金属またはアルカリ土類金属の塩化物、臭化物、ヨウ化物が用いられ、リチウム、カリウム、ナトリウム、マグネシウム、カルシウム、バリウム等の塩化物が好ましく用いられる。ハロゲン化金属の配合量は、金属100重量部当たり好ましくは0.1〜20重量部、より好ましくは0.1〜5重量部である。特にハロゲン化金属を鉄粉に付着させることによってハロゲン化金属の配合量を少なくすることができる。
【0019】
脱酸素組成物を配合する樹脂は、ビカット軟化点が110℃〜130℃の熱可塑性樹脂が好ましい。前記軟化点の熱可塑性樹脂を使用することにより、多層体の熱成形加工に際し、樹脂中の鉄粉周辺の局部的な加熱を防ぐことができ外観の良好な容器に成形することが可能となる。熱可塑性樹脂として具体的には、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリブタジエン、ポリメチルペンテン等のポリオレフィン類、エラストマーおよびこれらの変性物、あるいはこれらの混合樹脂が用いられる。好ましくは、ポリエチレンとポリプロピレンの混合物、プロピレンーエチレンランダム共重合体又はこれらの混合物が用いられる。
【0020】
酸素吸収性樹脂組成物における脱酸素剤組成物の配合率は2〜93重量%が好ましく、10〜70重量%がより好ましい。脱酸素剤組成物の配合が2重量%未満では、脱酸素性能が著しく低下し、また93重量%を越えると、成形加工性が悪くなるので好ましくない。また脱酸素剤組成物を配合した酸素吸収性樹脂組成物には、必要に応じて、有機系又は無機系染料や顔料等の着色剤、シラン系、チタネート系等の分散剤、ポリアクリル酸系の吸水剤、アルカリ土類金属酸化物等の発泡防止剤、シリカ、クレー等の充填剤、ゼオライト、活性炭等のガス吸着剤等を添加することができる。酸素吸収層の層厚は1000μm 以下が好ましく、500μm 以下がより好ましい。
【0021】
外層(ガスバリア層)のガスバリア性樹脂層としては、エチレン−ビニルアルコール共重合体、ナイロン6、ナイロン66、ナイロン11、ナイロン12、ポリメタキシリレンアジパミド等のポリアミド、非結晶性ポリアミド(アモルファスナイロン)等が好ましく、ポリメタキシリレンアジパミド、非晶性ポリアミド又はこれらの混合物が特に好ましく用いられる。
【0022】
ポリメタキシリレンアジパミドは、メタキシリレンジアミンとアジピン酸との重縮合体であり、ナイロンMXD6とも呼ばれ、上記重縮合体にはメタキシリレンジアミン以外のジアミンまたはアジピン酸以外のジカルボン酸を含んでもよい。また、非結晶性ポリアミドは、非晶性ナイロン、あるいは透明ナイロンとも呼ばれるものであり、ナイロン6、ナイロン66のような直鎖脂肪族ナイロンとは異なり、ポリマーの結晶化がほとんど起こらないか、あるいは結晶化速度が非常に小さい特殊ナイロンである。本発明では非晶性ポリアミドとして、例えば、テレフタル酸とトリメチルヘキサメチレンジアミンの重縮合体、2,2ービス(P−アミノシクロヘキシル)プロパンとアジピン酸およびアゼライン酸との共重縮合体、ビス(3−メチルー4−アミノシクロヘキシル)メタンとイソフタル酸およびωーアミノドデカン酸との共重縮合体、ジフェニルメタンジイソシアネートとアジピン酸、アゼライン酸およびイソフタル酸の混合物との共重縮合体、並びにテレフタル酸およびイソフタル酸とヘキサメチレンジアミンとの共重縮合体、等が好ましく用いられる。
【0023】
上記非結晶性ポリアミドとしては、ASTM D1238に準拠する試験条件;温度230℃、荷重2.16kgfにおけるメルトフローレート(MFR)が8g/10分以下のものが好ましく、特に6g/10分以下のものが好ましい。MFRが8g/10分をこえる非晶性ポリアミドを用いると、脱酸素性多層体のシート成形に際してガスバリア性樹脂の粘度が低くなりすぎるために、安定した厚みの多層シートが得られなくなる。さらに脱酸素性多層体の熱成形加工性を良好なものとするためには、非結晶性ポリアミドは、ガラス転移点が80〜150℃のものが好ましい。上記ガラス転移点の非結晶性ポリアミドを使用することによって、多層体の容器への成形に際し、樹脂の結晶化による伸びムラや厚みムラが防止され、広い範囲の加熱成形条件で良好な容器の成形が可能となる。例えば、熱成形におけるシート表面温度が高い場合や低い場合、あるいは加熱時間が長い場合や短い場合でも、伸びムラや厚みムラが起こらなくなる。
【0024】
ガスバリア性樹脂層の厚みは必ずしも限定されないが、多層体をさらに成形加工して延伸する場合、その厚みが延伸によって薄くなることを考慮し、成形加工前のガスバリア性樹脂の層厚みは、延伸加工によってガスバリア性が損なわれない程度の厚みが必要である。
【0025】
外層のガスバリア性樹脂層には、必要に応じて、他の機能を有する樹脂又は樹脂以外の材料を積層し、ガスバリア層の機能を一層効果的なものにすることができる。例えば、ガスバリア性樹脂層を保護するために、その外側に他の樹脂からなる保護層が設けられる。ここにいう他の樹脂層には、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィン類、これらの混合物若しくは変性樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート等のポリエステル等が用いられ、この保護層には、必要に応じて、 顔料等の着色剤、充填剤、帯電防止剤、安定剤等の添加剤を適宜配合してもよい。また外層のガスバリア層と、上記他の樹脂からなる保護層又は中間層との接着性向上のために、それぞれ接着剤層を設けることもできる。
【0026】
脱酸素性多層体を構成する上記各層は、材料の性状、加工目的、加工工程等に応じて、共押出し法、各種ラミネート法、各種コーティング法などの公知の方法を適宜組み合わせて積層することができる。例えば、脱酸素性多層体が樹脂積層体の場合には、各層に対応する押出機で樹脂を溶融混練した後、T−ダイ、サーキュラーダイ等の多層多重ダイスを通して同時溶融押出することによって多層フィルム又はシートを製造することができる。また射出機を用い、溶融した樹脂を多層多重ダイスを通して射出金型中に共射出または逐次射出することによって所定の形状の多層容器に一挙に成形することができる。
【0027】
また、本発明に係る脱酸素性多層体は、上記の各種方法で得られたフラット状又は管状のシート又はフィルム(チューブ、パリソン等を含む)であるが、これらの材料を用い、真空成形、圧空成形、プラグアシスト成形等の成形方法により、所定の形状の容器に成形することができる。
【0028】
上記脱酸素性多層体よりなる包装容器に惣菜類が保存される。惣菜類としては、前記のように、煮物、揚げ物、蒸し物、酢の物、和え物等が例示され、中でも煮物が好適に保存される。煮物は食材をを煮込んで醤油、砂糖等の調味料で味付けしたもので、煮汁を含んでいてもよい。具体的には、昆布やひじき等の海草類の煮物、野菜の煮物、魚介類の煮物、煮凝り、佃煮、煮豆、油揚げの煮物、等が例示される。昆布やひじきの煮物と言っても、ゴボウ、人参等の野菜類や油揚げ含んだ五目昆布や五目ひじきのように、食材は雑多なものが含まれていてもよい。また、ししゃも、まぐろ、鰻、鮭、ホタテ貝等の魚介類、ゴボウ、人参等の野菜類、チーズ、油揚げ等を昆布で巻いた昆布巻きの煮物であってもよい。また、煮凝りは、鮭、マグロ、鰻等の魚類を煮込んで煮汁ととに凝固させたものであり、、さらには松茸、椎茸の茸類、竹の子等の野菜類、昆布等の海草類を一緒に煮込んで、例えば、茸入り、野菜入り、昆布入りとしたものでもよい。特に油脂、ビタミン類等の栄養素、クロロフィル類等の色素等を含む煮物が好適に保存される。
【0029】
惣菜類の加熱殺菌処理する場合、加熱温度は食品の種類にも左右されるが、少なくとも100℃以上、150℃以下の温度範囲に選ばれる。加熱温度が100℃に達しない場合には、殺菌が不十分で長期に保存することができない。また脱酸素性多層体の耐熱性の点から、150℃以下が好ましい。加熱時間は殺菌できれば特に制限がないが、4分以上120分以下が好ましい。
【0030】
【実施例】
本発明を実施例に沿ってさらに詳しく説明する。なお、本発明は実施例に必ずしも限定されない。
実施例1
鉄粉(平均粒径35μm 、最大粒子径80μm )を加熱ジャケット付き真空混合乾燥機中に入れ、130℃、10mmHgの減圧下で加熱乾燥しつつ、鉄粉100重量部に対し、塩化カルシウム:水=1:1の割合で混合した混合水溶液3重量部を、噴霧して、塩化カルシウムを鉄粉表面に付着させた粒状の脱酸素組成物を調整した。次に45mmφの同方向回転二軸押出機にてプロピレンーエチレンランダム共重合体(住友化学(株)製、商品名;住友ノーブレンS131、MFR;1.2g/10分(230℃・2.16kgf、ASTM D1238)、ビカット軟化点;119℃(JIS K6758))と前記脱酸素剤組成物とを混合比3:2(重量比)で混練、押し出して、ブロワ付きネットベルトで冷却後ペレタイザーを経て、酸素吸収性樹脂組成物からなるペレットを得た。
【0031】
次いで、第1〜第4押出機、フィードブロック、Tダイ、冷却ロールおよびシート引取機からなる4種6層多層シート成形装置を用い、各押出機から、第1押出機;酸化チタン14重量%含有プロピレンーエチレンブロック共重合体(住友化学(株)製、商品名;FH1015M、MFR;0.5g/10分(230℃・2.16kgf、ASTM D1238))、第2押出機;前記酸素吸収性樹脂組成物、第3押出機;ポリメタキシリレンアジパミド(三菱ガス化学製、商品名;MXナイロン6007)と非結晶性ポリアミド(三井デュポンポリケミカル(株)製、テレフタル酸およびイソフタル酸とヘキサメチレンジアミンとの共重縮合体、商品名;シーラPA3426、MFR;3.5g/10分(230℃・2.16kgf、ASTM1238))との1:1の混合樹脂および第4押出機;無水マレイン酸変性ポリプロピレン、を押し出し、表1に示す多層構成のシートを得た。多層シートの層構成は、酸素透過層(内層)/酸素吸収層(中間層)/接着層/ガスバリア層(外層)/接着層/保護層(最外層)からなり、酸素透過層および保護層には、酸素吸収層を隠蔽するために、白色顔料の酸化チタンを加えたプロピレンーエチレンブロック共重合体を用いた。

次に真空成形機を用いて、上記多層シートについて、内層を容器内側にし、成型時の加熱温度165℃にてプラグアシスト成形を行いトレイ状容器(内容積350cc、内表面積200cm2 )に熱成形加工した。得られたトレイ状容器4個に、それぞれ、油揚げ200gと、醤油及び砂糖で味付けした煮汁120gとを入れた後、トップフィルムにガスバリアー性フィルム(ポリ塩化ビニリデン被覆ポリプロピレン延伸フィルム(15μm )/無延伸ポリプロピレンフィルム(60μm )のラミネートフィルム)を用い、無延伸ポリプロピレンフィルム側を内面にしてヒートシールし、容器を密封した。醤油と砂糖で味付けした油揚げの煮物と煮汁を充填、密封した容器の内部空気量は約30ccであった。これらの密封容器を、レトルト釜にて120℃、30分の加熱処理を行った後、25℃に保存した。加熱処理した密封容器を、それぞれ、加熱処理直後、保存1ヶ月目、3ヶ月目及び6ヶ月目に開封して、油揚げの色調及び風味を調べた。結果を表2に示す。
【0034】
比較例1
実施例1の脱酸素性多層シートの製造において、第2押出機は使用せず、中間層の酸素吸収層を抜いた酸素バリア性多層シートを作成した。シートの層構成は、酸素透過層(内層)/接着層/ガスバリア層(外層)/接着層/保護層(最外層)であった。この酸素バリア性多層シートを、実施例1と同様にしてトレイ状容器に成形加工した。次いで同様に、得られたトレイ状容器4個に、それぞれ、醤油と砂糖で味付けした油揚げの煮物と煮汁を入れ、ガスバリアー性フィルムを用いてトップシールし密封した。これらの密封容器を、レトルト釜にて120℃、30分の加熱処理を行った後25℃に保存し、それぞれ、加熱処理直後、保存1ヶ月目、3ヶ月目及び6ヶ月目に開封し、油揚げの色調及び風味を調べた。結果を表2に示す。
【0035】
【表2】
Figure 0003876938
【0036】
表2の結果から明らかなように、本発明に係る脱酸素性多層体からなるトレイ状容器に煮汁を含む油揚げを密封して120℃、30分間加熱処理した場合には、容器内部の酸素が吸収除去され、かつ容器外から透過侵入する酸素も完全に阻止されたことにより、油揚げは酸化劣化が防止され、長期間保存しても、外観、風味等、品質は良好に保持されていた。一方、酸素吸収層のない酸素バリア性多層シートからなる単なるガスバリアー容器を用いた場合には、容器内の酸素が除去できないために、油揚げの品質は損なわれ、保存期間が長くなるにしたがって品質劣化がひどくなった。
【0037】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、単にレトルト処理ような高温殺菌処理したでけでは長期保存が不可能であった惣菜類を、食感、色、フレバー、栄養素等、食品独特の品質を損なうことなく長期に保存することができる。特に酸素の存在下にレトルト処理ような高温条件に曝すと酸化劣化し易い食材を含む惣菜類を品質を損なうことなく高温殺菌処理して実質的に無酸素状態に保持して長期保存できる。このため、本発明は、性状も異なる雑多な食材を含む惣菜類の保存に適し、特に酸化劣化し易い油脂分を含む煮物が好適に保存される。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for preserving cooked vegetables. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preserving sugar beet, in which the sugar beet is hermetically sealed in a packaging container or bag made of a deoxygenating multilayer body and heat-sterilized.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, a packaging technique using an oxygen scavenger, that is, an oxygen scavenger packaging technique, has been established as one of food preservation techniques, and is used in various fields such as food and medicine preservation. In the oxygen scavenger packaging, an object to be stored is sealed and packaged together with an oxygen scavenger in a barrier packaging container or bag. The enclosed oxygen scavenger absorbs oxygen in the system and keeps it oxygen-free, so that it can be used to prevent oxidative degradation of foods, oxidative degradation of fats and oils, browning prevention, flavor retention, prevention of bacteria and mold growth, etc. be able to. An oxygen scavenger used for oxygen scavenger packaging is composed of an oxygen scavenger composition mainly composed of a reducing substance such as iron powder having oxygen absorbing ability. Usually, the oxygen scavenger powder is put into a breathable sachet. Filled and used as an oxygen scavenger package (sometimes referred to as “small bag oxygen absorber”).
[0003]
On the other hand, as a long-term storage technology for foods containing liquids, there is a storage technology by high-temperature sterilization called retort processing. This is a method in which a storage container such as food is filled and sealed in a barrier container, followed by heat treatment at a temperature of 100 ° C. or higher for each container. Long-term storage is possible. However, in the case of this method, there are cases where oxidation and deterioration of the fat and oil, deterioration of the taste, deterioration and discoloration occur due to the presence of oxygen remaining in the container during the heat treatment and oxygen permeating and entering from outside the container during storage. Particularly in sugar beet such as fried chicken, kelp, kelp rolls, and black beans, discoloration, taste, and flavor deterioration due to oxidative deterioration of fats and oils were remarkable, and long-term storage was extremely difficult only by heat treatment.
[0004]
Therefore, when trying to heat sterilize the packaged body with oxygen scavenger at high temperature, the ordinary bag-shaped oxygen scavenger does not have heat resistance and liquid resistance. Cannot be used because the agent spills or the liquid soaks into the sachet and the oxygen absorption capacity stops. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-219359 discloses a method for preserving retort food using a small bag-shaped oxygen scavenger with an improved air-permeable packaging material.

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem of the method for preserving packaged vegetables, and heat-sterilizes the prepared vegetables at a temperature of at least 100 ° C. without sacrificing food-specific quality such as texture, color, flavor, and nutrients. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for storing sugar beet that can be stored for a long time.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have made a gas barrier resin on the outside of the intermediate layer by using an oxygen absorbing layer made of a deoxidizing resin composition as an intermediate layer as a storage container for sugar beet. It has been found that the problem can be solved easily by using a packaging container or bag made of a deoxygenating multilayer body in which an oxygen permeable layer made of an oxygen permeable resin is disposed inside the intermediate layer and an oxygen permeable resin.
[0007]
That is, the present invention uses an oxygen absorbing layer made of a deoxygenating resin composition as an intermediate layer, a gas barrier layer made of a gas barrier resin outside the intermediate layer, and an oxygen permeable layer made of an oxygen permeable resin inside the intermediate layer Is characterized in that sugar beet is sealed in a packaging container composed of a deoxygenating multilayer body with a heat treatment at a temperature of 100 ° C. or higher and 150 ° C. or lower.
[0008]
In the present invention, sugar beet refers to a processed and cooked food that is eaten as a "side dish" at home. The prepared foods according to the present invention are not limited to a single food, have various properties, and may be any cooked food suitable for the purpose of the present invention, such as boiled foods, fried foods, steamed foods, vinegared foods, seasoned foods, etc. Among them, a boiled food containing a liquid juice, particularly a boiled food rich in fats and oils and nutrients and having a characteristic color tone is preferable.
[0009]
In the deoxygenated multilayer body according to the present invention, the deoxygenating resin composition constituting the oxygen absorbing layer contains an oxygen scavenger composition, and the oxygen scavenger composition includes a deoxygenating agent mainly composed of iron powder. An agent composition is preferred. The gas barrier resin constituting the gas barrier layer of the deoxygenated multilayer body is preferably polymetaxylylene adipamide, amorphous polyamide or a mixture thereof.
[0010]
Moreover, the packaging container concerning this invention consists of a deoxygenating multilayer body of all the films or a sheet form, and functions as a container provided with deoxidation performance.

The oxygen-absorbing layer deoxygenating resin composition obtains moisture from sugar beet through the oxygen-permeable layer, and exhibits oxygen-removing ability to absorb and remove oxygen in the container, thereby high-temperature treatment in the presence of oxygen In addition to eliminating the harmful effects caused by the above, afterwards, the side dishes that have been heat-sterilized by preventing oxygen from entering from the outside of the container are kept substantially oxygen-free, and the food quality, color, flavor, and other characteristics of food are impaired. It makes it possible to preserve prepared foods for a long time.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Specific examples of the layer structure of the deoxidizing multilayer body according to the present invention include an inner layer 10 (oxygen permeable layer) / intermediate layer 20 (oxygen absorbing layer) / adhesive layer 31 / outer layer 30 (gas barrier layer) as shown in FIG. ) / Adhesive layer 32 / protective layer 33. The deoxygenating multilayer body used in the present invention is not necessarily composed of only the inner layer, the intermediate layer, and the outer layer, and other layers can be added to these main layers as necessary. Indicates a case where one or more other layers are added to both sides of the outer layer 30 (gas barrier layer). Here, the outer layer 30 plays a role of blocking invading oxygen from the outside of the packaging container formed with this multilayer body. The intermediate layer 20 is an oxygen absorption layer, and plays a role of absorbing oxygen that cannot be prevented by the outer layer and absorbing oxygen in the container through the inner layer. The inner layer 10 is an oxygen permeable layer, so that the oxygen absorbing layer can sufficiently exert its oxygen absorbing function in addition to the role as an isolation layer that prevents direct contact between the oxygen absorbing layer of the intermediate layer and the stored item in the container. It plays the role of allowing oxygen in the container to pass through quickly and efficiently.
[0013]
Hereinafter, the deoxidizing multilayer body according to the present invention will be sequentially described with reference to FIG.
As the oxygen permeable resin of the inner layer (oxygen permeable layer), a thermoplastic resin is preferably used. For example, polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, and polymethylpentene, modified products of the resin, and the resin and silicon resin Graft polymers, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyamides such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, ionomers, elastomers and the like are used. Since heat sterilization is performed at a temperature of 100 ° C. or higher, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, nylon 6, nylon 66, or polyethylene terephthalate is preferably used from the viewpoint of heat resistance.
[0014]
By selecting a resin compatible with the oxygen absorbing resin of the intermediate layer described below as the inner layer resin, the inner layer and the intermediate layer can be co-extruded and laminated and bonded. Further, the inner layer often serves as a sealant layer as the innermost layer of the packaging container, and it is preferable to select a resin that can be heat sealed to the inner layer. In order to impart heat sealability to the inner layer, a heat sealable layer may be further provided on the inner surface side of the inner layer. The resin of the inner layer or heat-sealable layer can be blended with additives such as a colorant such as a pigment, a filler, an antistatic agent, and a stabilizer as necessary.
[0015]
As described above, the inner layer plays a role of isolating the contents contained in the container and the oxygen absorbing layer, and also has a function of transmitting oxygen quickly and efficiently, and the other layer such as the heat-sealable layer is required. Regardless of the presence or absence and the thickness of the inner layer itself, the oxygen permeability of the inner layer needs to be at least 100 cc / m 2 · day · atm (23 ° C., 100% RH) or more. For this reason, it is preferable that the film thickness of the inner layer be as thin as possible within the range allowed by strength, workability, cost, etc., and oxygen permeability be increased. Further, the inner layer is not necessarily a non-porous resin layer, and may be a microporous film or a nonwoven fabric having good oxygen permeability made of the thermoplastic resin.
[0016]
The oxygen-absorbing resin composition of the intermediate layer (oxygen absorbing layer) is a resin composition obtained by kneading and dispersing an oxygen scavenger composition in a resin. The oxygen scavenger composition is not particularly limited, and a known oxygen scavenger composition can be used. For example, metal powder such as iron powder, reducing inorganic substance such as iron compound, polyhydric phenols, polyhydric alcohol Deoxygenating agent compositions containing a reducing organic substance such as ascorbic acid or a salt thereof or a metal complex as the main component of the oxygen absorption reaction are used. Among these, in order to make the deoxygenating multilayer body excellent in deoxygenating performance, an oxygen scavenger composition mainly composed of iron powder is preferable, and a deoxygenating composition composed of iron powder and a metal halide is preferable. Excellent. In particular, iron powder whose surface is coated with a metal halide is preferably used. The oxygen scavenger composition can absorb moisture by obtaining moisture in the oxygen absorbing layer.
[0017]
The iron powder of the main component of the oxygen scavenger composition is not particularly limited as long as it can be dispersed in a thermoplastic resin and can cause an oxygen absorption reaction, and iron powder normally used as an oxygen scavenger can be used. . The iron powder has an average particle size of preferably 5 to 200 μm or less, particularly preferably 50 μm or less. In order to form a smooth oxygen absorbing layer, it is preferable that the size of the iron powder particles be fine without exceeding the thickness of the deoxidized resin layer. Therefore, the oxygen powder composition of the iron powder main ingredient is used as a granular material, and the size is preferably 5 to 200 μm, more preferably 5 to 50 μm in terms of average particle size.
[0018]
Examples of the metal halide include alkali metal or alkaline earth metal chlorides, bromides and iodides, and chlorides such as lithium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and barium are preferably used. The compounding amount of the metal halide is preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the metal. In particular, the metal halide content can be reduced by attaching the metal halide to the iron powder.
[0019]
The resin compounded with the oxygen scavenging composition is preferably a thermoplastic resin having a Vicat softening point of 110 ° C to 130 ° C. By using the thermoplastic resin having the softening point, when the multilayer body is thermoformed, local heating around the iron powder in the resin can be prevented and the container can be molded into a good appearance. . Specific examples of the thermoplastic resin include polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, and polymethylpentene, elastomers, modified products thereof, and mixed resins thereof. Preferably, a mixture of polyethylene and polypropylene, a propylene-ethylene random copolymer, or a mixture thereof is used.
[0020]
The blending ratio of the oxygen scavenger composition in the oxygen-absorbing resin composition is preferably 2 to 93% by weight, more preferably 10 to 70% by weight. If the composition of the oxygen scavenger composition is less than 2% by weight, the oxygen scavenging performance is remarkably lowered, and if it exceeds 93% by weight, the molding processability is deteriorated. In addition, the oxygen-absorbing resin composition containing the oxygen scavenger composition includes, if necessary, colorants such as organic or inorganic dyes and pigments, dispersants such as silane and titanate, polyacrylic acid Water absorbing agents, antifoaming agents such as alkaline earth metal oxides, fillers such as silica and clay, gas adsorbents such as zeolite and activated carbon, and the like can be added. The layer thickness of the oxygen absorbing layer is preferably 1000 μm or less, and more preferably 500 μm or less.
[0021]
As the gas barrier resin layer of the outer layer (gas barrier layer), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 11, nylon 12, polymetaxylylene adipamide and other polyamides, amorphous polyamide (amorphous nylon) And the like, and polymetaxylylene adipamide, amorphous polyamide or a mixture thereof is particularly preferably used.
[0022]
Polymetaxylylene adipamide is a polycondensate of metaxylylenediamine and adipic acid, also called nylon MXD6. The polycondensate contains a diamine other than metaxylylenediamine or a dicarboxylic acid other than adipic acid. May be included. Amorphous polyamide is also called amorphous nylon or transparent nylon, and unlike linear aliphatic nylon such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, polymer crystallization hardly occurs, or Special nylon with very low crystallization rate. In the present invention, as the amorphous polyamide, for example, a polycondensate of terephthalic acid and trimethylhexamethylenediamine, a copolycondensate of 2,2-bis (P-aminocyclohexyl) propane, adipic acid and azelaic acid, bis (3 -Methyl-4-aminocyclohexyl) copolycondensates of methane with isophthalic acid and ω-aminododecanoic acid, copolycondensates of mixtures of diphenylmethane diisocyanate with adipic acid, azelaic acid and isophthalic acid, and terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid with hexa A copolycondensate with methylenediamine and the like are preferably used.
[0023]
The non-crystalline polyamide is preferably a test condition in accordance with ASTM D1238; a melt flow rate (MFR) at a temperature of 230 ° C. and a load of 2.16 kgf is preferably 8 g / 10 min or less, particularly 6 g / 10 min or less. Is preferred. When an amorphous polyamide having an MFR exceeding 8 g / 10 minutes is used, the viscosity of the gas barrier resin becomes too low when forming a sheet of a deoxidized multilayer body, and thus a multilayer sheet having a stable thickness cannot be obtained. Furthermore, in order to improve the thermoforming processability of the deoxidizing multilayer body, the amorphous polyamide preferably has a glass transition point of 80 to 150 ° C. By using non-crystalline polyamide having the above glass transition point, when forming a multilayer body into a container, unevenness in elongation and unevenness in thickness due to crystallization of the resin are prevented, and good container molding is achieved under a wide range of thermoforming conditions. Is possible. For example, even when the sheet surface temperature in thermoforming is high or low, or when the heating time is long or short, uneven elongation and uneven thickness do not occur.
[0024]
The thickness of the gas barrier resin layer is not necessarily limited, but when the multilayer body is further molded and stretched, the thickness of the gas barrier resin layer before molding is stretched in consideration of the fact that the thickness is reduced by stretching. Therefore, a thickness that does not impair the gas barrier property is required.
[0025]
If necessary, the outer gas barrier resin layer may be laminated with a resin having another function or a material other than the resin, thereby making the function of the gas barrier layer more effective. For example, in order to protect the gas barrier resin layer, a protective layer made of another resin is provided on the outside thereof. For the other resin layers mentioned here, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, mixtures or modified resins thereof, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, etc. are used. If necessary, this protective layer can be colored with pigments or the like. You may mix | blend additives, such as an agent, a filler, an antistatic agent, a stabilizer, suitably. Further, in order to improve the adhesion between the outer gas barrier layer and the protective layer or intermediate layer made of the other resin, an adhesive layer can be provided.
[0026]
Each of the above-mentioned layers constituting the deoxidizing multilayer body may be laminated by appropriately combining known methods such as a co-extrusion method, various laminating methods, and various coating methods according to the properties of the material, the purpose of processing, the processing steps, etc. it can. For example, when the deoxygenating multilayer body is a resin laminate, the resin film is melt-kneaded with an extruder corresponding to each layer, and then simultaneously melt extruded through a multilayer multiple die such as a T-die or a circular die. Or a sheet can be manufactured. Further, by using an injection machine, the molten resin can be co-injected or sequentially injected into an injection mold through a multilayer multiplex die, and can be molded at once into a multilayer container having a predetermined shape.
[0027]
Further, the deoxidizing multilayer body according to the present invention is a flat or tubular sheet or film (including a tube, a parison, etc.) obtained by the above-mentioned various methods, but using these materials, vacuum forming, The container can be formed into a predetermined shape by a forming method such as pressure forming or plug assist forming.
[0028]
Vegetables are stored in a packaging container made of the deoxidizing multilayer. Examples of prepared dishes include boiled foods, fried foods, steamed foods, vinegared foods, marinated foods, etc., among which boiled foods are preferably stored. The boiled food is made by boiled ingredients and seasoned with seasonings such as soy sauce and sugar, and may contain boiled soup. Specific examples include boiled seaweeds such as kelp and hijiki, boiled vegetables, boiled seafood, boiled, boiled, boiled beans, boiled fried chicken, and the like. Even if it is a simmered kelp or hijiki, the ingredients may be miscellaneous, such as vegetables such as burdock and carrots, and gomoku kelp and gomoku hijiki containing fried chicken. In addition, seafood such as shishamo, tuna, salmon, salmon, and scallops, vegetables such as burdock and carrot, cheese, fried chicken, etc. may be boiled in kelp. Boiled fish is made by boiling fish such as salmon, tuna, and salmon and coagulating them with the broth. In addition, vegetables such as matsutake mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and seaweeds such as kelp. It may be boiled, for example, with potatoes, vegetables, or kelp. Particularly, boiled foods containing nutrients such as fats and oils, vitamins, and pigments such as chlorophylls are preferably stored.
[0029]
When the sugar beet is heat sterilized, the heating temperature depends on the type of food, but is selected to be at least 100 ° C and 150 ° C. If the heating temperature does not reach 100 ° C., the sterilization is insufficient and cannot be stored for a long time. Moreover, 150 degrees C or less is preferable from the heat resistant point of a deoxidation multilayer body. The heating time is not particularly limited as long as it can be sterilized, but it is preferably 4 minutes or longer and 120 minutes or shorter.
[0030]

[0033]
Next, using the vacuum forming machine, the inner layer of the multilayer sheet is placed inside the container, plug-assisted molding is performed at a heating temperature of 165 ° C. during molding, and thermoformed into a tray-like container (inner volume 350 cc, inner surface area 200 cm 2 ). processed. In each of the four tray-like containers obtained, 200 g of fried oil and 120 g of boiled soy sauce seasoned with soy sauce and sugar were added, and then a gas barrier film (polyvinylidene chloride-coated polypropylene stretched film (15 μm) / none) was added to the top film. Using a stretched polypropylene film (laminated film of 60 μm), the container was sealed by heat sealing with the unstretched polypropylene film side as the inner surface. The amount of air inside the container filled and sealed with fried simmered seasoned with soy sauce and sugar was about 30 cc. These sealed containers were heated at 120 ° C. for 30 minutes in a retort kettle and then stored at 25 ° C. The heat-treated sealed containers were opened immediately after the heat treatment, at the 1st month, the 3rd month and the 6th month, respectively, and the color and flavor of the fried chicken were examined. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0034]
Comparative Example 1
In the production of the deoxidizing multilayer sheet of Example 1, a second extruder was not used, and an oxygen barrier multilayer sheet was prepared by removing the oxygen absorbing layer of the intermediate layer. The layer structure of the sheet was oxygen permeable layer (inner layer) / adhesive layer / gas barrier layer (outer layer) / adhesive layer / protective layer (outermost layer). This oxygen barrier multilayer sheet was formed into a tray-like container in the same manner as in Example 1. Subsequently, similarly, the fried simmered food and soup seasoned with soy sauce and sugar were put into the four obtained tray-like containers, respectively, and top-sealed and sealed using a gas barrier film. These sealed containers were subjected to heat treatment at 120 ° C. for 30 minutes in a retort kettle and then stored at 25 ° C., opened immediately after the heat treatment, at the first, third and sixth months of storage, respectively. The color and flavor of the fried chicken were examined. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0035]
[Table 2]
Figure 0003876938
[0036]
As is clear from the results in Table 2, when fried food containing boiled juice is sealed in a tray-like container made of a deoxygenating multilayer according to the present invention and heated at 120 ° C. for 30 minutes, the oxygen inside the container is reduced. Oxygen that was absorbed and removed and oxygen that permeated from the outside of the container was completely prevented, so that the fried chicken was prevented from oxidative deterioration, and even when stored for a long period of time, the quality such as appearance and flavor was well maintained. On the other hand, when a simple gas barrier container made of an oxygen barrier multilayer sheet without an oxygen absorbing layer is used, the oxygen in the container cannot be removed, so the quality of frying is impaired and the quality increases as the storage period increases. Deterioration became severe.
[0037]
