Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は低湿度雰囲気用脱酸素剤組成物に関する。詳しくは、還元性金属と金属沃化物又は金属臭化物とを含み、かつ水分含有量が1重量%以下であることを特徴とする低湿度雰囲気下で脱酸素能を有する脱酸素剤組成物に関する。さらに本発明は脱酸素剤組成物を通気性包装材料で包装してなる低湿度雰囲気用脱酸素剤包装体及びこの脱酸素剤包装体を用いた物品の保存方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
金属鉄等の還元性金属の酸化反応を利用した脱酸素剤は従来から広く知られ、この脱酸素剤を食品等の物品とともに密封容器に収納して容器内の酸素を吸収除去することにより、主として酸素による酸化劣化を防止して食品等の鮮度及び品質を保持するために利用されている。還元性金属を利用した脱酸素剤は、主剤の還元性金属の他に促進剤として金属ハロゲン化物が配合されており、また、還元性金属による酸素吸収反応には水分の存在を必要とするために、この種の脱酸素剤による酸素吸収には水分が必須とされている。 この種の脱酸素剤は、主として食品の鮮度等を保持するために、保存物品とともに容器もしくは包装袋内に投入されるか、又は、脱酸素剤を入れ込んだ容器もしくは袋を用いて保存物品を包装することが行われている。
【0003】
特公昭56-33980号公報には、金属粉を金属ハロゲン化物で被覆した酸素吸収剤が開示されている。還元性金属による脱酸素反応には、水分の存在を必要とするために、この種の脱酸素剤は、水分含有量の多い(言い換えると水分活性の高い)保存物品から蒸散する水分を利用できる高含水食品の保存に使用され、水分依存型脱酸素剤として知られている。
【0004】
一方、特公昭57-31449号公報には、水分含有量の少ない(言い換えると水分活性の低い)乾燥食品等の保存には、脱酸素剤組成物中に水分を含浸させた無機フィラー等の水分供与体を存在させて、酸素吸収反応に必要な水分を補った酸素吸収剤が開示されている。この種の脱酸素剤は、それ自体が水分を保有しているため、保存物品から蒸散する水分に頼らずに酸素吸収を行える自力反応型脱酸素剤として知られている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、含有水分の低い乾燥食品等の保存物品の保存に、水分を保有する自力反応型脱酸素剤を使用した場合に、脱酸素剤の水分が保存物品に移行することが避けられず、場合によっては、水分による食味低下(湿り)、性状変化(粉体の塊状化)等を来すことがあるという問題を有していた。また、脱酸素剤から酸素吸収反応に必要な水分が失われてしまって脱酸素能が低下し、長期間の保存中に包装袋の外から透過してくる酸素で系内の酸素濃度が上昇し、品質劣化等を来すという問題もあった。 一方、現行の水分依存型脱酸素剤は、金属ハロゲン化物として塩化ナトリウムや塩化カルシウム等の金属塩化物が使用されているが、相対湿度70%以下、特に60%以下の低湿度雰囲気では脱酸素能が低下する。
【0006】
要するに、従来の脱酸素剤によっては、乾燥食品等の水分活性が低い物品を相対湿度70%以下の低湿度雰囲気下、脱酸素状態に保存することが困難であった。
本発明は上記従来技術の脱酸素剤の問題点を解決し、相対湿度70%以下の低湿度雰囲気下でも水分の補給をすることなく脱酸素能を発揮することができ、保存に低湿度雰囲気を必要とする乾燥状態にある物品に適用して品質保持を可能とする脱酸素剤を提供することを目的とする。さらに本発明は、この脱酸素剤組成物を包装してなる低湿度雰囲気用脱酸素剤包装体及びこの脱酸素剤包装体を用いた物品の保存方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、前記した課題を解決するために鋭意検討したところ、酸素吸収反応として、従来では、塩化ナトリウムや塩化カルシウム等の金属塩化物より劣っているとして全く顧みられなかった金属沃化物及び金属臭化物が、驚くべきことに、相対湿度70%以下の低湿度雰囲気下、水分供与体を存在させることなくして乾燥食品等の水分活性が低い物品を脱酸素状態に保存することを可能にする酸素吸収反応促進剤として機能することを見いだし、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0008】
既述の特公昭56-33980号公報は、酸素吸収反応促進剤の一つとして金属臭化物及び金属沃化物を掲げてはいるものの、金属沃化物及び金属臭化物からなる酸素吸収反応促進剤を含む脱酸素剤が乾燥食品等の水分活性が低い物品の保存に有効であることを開示していない。
また、特公平2-22701 号公報は、塩基性ハロゲン化物と鉄粉よりなり、水溶性物質の使用を必須としない脱酸素剤を開示するものの、低湿度雰囲気下で機能し得る酸素吸収反応促進剤としてのハロゲン化物を提供することを目的とするものではなく、金属沃化物及び金属臭化物からなる酸素吸収反応促進剤を含む脱酸素剤が乾燥食品等の水分活性が低い物品の保存に有効であることを示唆するものではない。
【0009】
すなわち、本発明は、前記課題を解決するための手段として、還元性金属と金属沃化物及び金属臭化物の少なくとも一方とを含み、これらのものが乾燥状態、好ましくは水分含有量が1重量%以下にあることを特徴とする低湿度雰囲気下で脱酸素能を有する脱酸素剤組成物又は脱酸素剤包装体を提供する。
【0010】
ここで、本発明の脱酸素剤においては、還元性金属は、好ましくは金属粉であり、より好ましくは鉄粉である。また、金属沃化物及び金属臭化物の金属種としては、アルカリ金属が好ましく、ナトリウム及びカリウムがより好ましい。
【0011】
本発明の脱酸素剤組成物又は脱酸素剤包装体は、前記成分構成をとることにより、相対湿度70%以下、特に60%以下においても十分な酸素吸収性能を有し、且つ、脱酸素剤組成物自体の水分含有量が1重量%以下であるために、脱酸素剤を適用した乾燥対象物への水分移行が起こらない。このため、本発明の脱酸素剤を用いることにより、吸湿を嫌う乾燥物品を相対湿度70%以下、特に60%以下の低湿度雰囲気下で酸素を吸収除去して保存することができる。また、水分活性(aw )0.7以下、特に0.6以下の物品に対しては、従来の水分依存型脱酸素剤を適用しても水分補給なしには脱酸素できないが、本発明によれば、水分活性0.7以下、特に0.6以下の物品に対しても水分の補給なしに脱酸素することができる。
【0012】
すなわち、本発明はまた、脱酸素剤包装体と保存すべき物品とをガスバリヤー性容器に収納して密封することを特徴とする物品の保存方法を提供する。
【0013】
本発明の方法においては、ガスバリヤー性容器の酸素透過度が0. 05〜100cc/m2 ・24hr・atm(25℃、50%RH)であることが好ましい。
本発明の方法は、水分活性0. 2〜0. 7、特に0. 2〜0. 6の物品に対して好適に使用できる。
【0014】
本発明の方法によれば、相対湿度(RH)20〜70%、特に20〜60%の低湿度雰囲気下で脱酸素が可能であり、特に吸湿が嫌われ、保存に低湿度の乾燥雰囲気を必要とする物品、例えば、粉末、顆粒、錠剤等の医薬品、健康食品、スナック菓子、乾燥食品、油揚げ食品、調味料等の乾燥状態にある食品や食品原料、化学原料、電気部品等の保存物品を長期間、脱酸素状態に維持し、良好に品質を保持することができる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明をより詳細に説明する。
脱酸素剤組成物の主剤となる還元性金属としては、従来から公知の脱酸素剤の主剤として知られる、例えば、鉄粉、銅粉、亜鉛粉等の粒状の金属粉を使用することができる。粒状の金属粉は、酸素との接触を良好にするために、通常1700μm(10メッシュ)以下、特に10〜300μm (50メッシュ)の径が好ましい。金属粉としては、鉄粉が好ましく、還元鉄粉、電解鉄粉、噴霧鉄粉等が好適に用いられる。その他、鋳鉄等の粉砕物、研削品等を用いることができる。
【0016】
また、脱酸素剤組成物の酸素吸収反応促進剤となる金属沃化物及び金属臭化物としては各種金属の沃化物と臭化物が挙げられるが、安全面や触媒性能面からはアルカリ金属又はアルカリ土類金属の沃化物と臭化物が好ましく、沃化ナトリウム、沃化カリウム、臭化ナトリウム、臭化カリウムがより好ましく、沃化ナトリウム、沃化カリウムが最も好ましい。
本発明の脱酸素剤組成物が、従来の脱酸素剤と比べて優れて有用な使用条件は、相対湿度20〜70%、特に30〜70%、顕著には30〜60%の範囲である。酸素吸収反応促進剤として金属臭化物を用いた場合には、前記相対湿度の範囲において従来の脱酸素剤と比べて優れた性能を発揮するが、特に相対湿度が50〜70%の範囲で優れている。
【0017】
還元性金属に対する金属沃化物又は金属臭化物の配合量は、還元性金属100重量部当たり、金属沃化物又は金属臭化物0. 01〜20重量部、好ましくは0. 1〜10重量部、より好ましくは0. 5〜6重量部である。金属沃化物又は金属臭化物の配合量が0. 01重量部より少なくなると、酸素吸収能力が低下したり、また20重量部より多くなると、脱酸素剤組成物の流動性が悪化したり、脱酸素剤組成物が吸湿して染み出しの原因となったりするので、いずれにしても好ましくない。
【0018】
金属粉と金属沃化物又は金属臭化物との混合方法は、必ずしも制限されず、例えば、金属沃化物又は金属臭化物を粉粒体又は溶液として金属粉と混合することができる。特に金属沃化物又は金属臭化物の水溶液を金属粉と混合しその後乾燥する方法が、金属粉と金属沃化物又は金属臭化物との密着を促すので好ましい。この場合、金属沃化物又は金属臭化物の配合量を下げても脱酸素性能を維持することができる。なお、金属粉と金属沃化物又は金属臭化物との混合に際しては、できるだけ大気に触れないようにするのが好ましい。
【0019】
本発明の脱酸素剤組成物には、上記金属粉、金属沃化物又は金属臭化物の他に、必要に応じて添加剤を加えることができ、例えば、臭気防止、粉塵抑制、錆滲出防止等のために、シリカ粉末、パーライト、珪藻土、水酸化アルミニウム、アルミナ、活性炭、吸水性高分子等を、適宜、混合することができる。添加剤を加えてなる脱酸素剤組成物の水分含有量は1重量%以下であることが好ましく、さらに好ましくは、0.5重量%以下である。
【0020】
本発明の脱酸素剤組成物は、水分含有量が多くなるにしたがって、脱酸素剤組成物からの水分移行が多くなり、また脱酸素剤組成物の流動性も悪くなるので、水分含有量は1重量%以下であることが好適である。その水分含有量は、全体の1重量%以下、好ましくは0. 5重量%以下である。水分含有量の制御方法に制限は無いが、加熱、減圧、乾燥剤の使用又はこれらの組み合わせによる乾燥操作処理によることが好ましい。
【0021】
以上のように、本発明の脱酸素剤組成物は、主剤の還元性金属と反応促進剤としての金属沃化物又は金属臭化物とを含む混合物からなり、実質的に水分を含まない粉粒状の脱酸素性組成物である。本発明の脱酸素剤組成物は、通常、通気性包装材料の小袋に充填包装して脱酸素剤包装体として使用される。通気性包装材料には、有孔又は酸素透過性のプラスチック、不織布、紙又はこれらの積層体からなるフィルム、シートもしくは成型体が用いられる。プラスチック素材には、ポリエステル、ポリアミド、ポリカーボネート、ポリオレフィンが例示される。包装材料同士の接着面には、ポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等のヒートシール可能な素材を配置することが好ましい。また、本発明の脱酸素剤組成物を不織布、紙等の通気性包装材料の間に挟んだり、漉き込んだりして固定し、取り扱い性の良いシート状脱酸素剤とした後、前記したように通気性包装材料により包装してなる包装体も本発明の脱酸素剤包装体として使用できる。
【0022】
本発明の脱酸素剤組成物包装体が、従来の脱酸素剤包装体と比べて優れて有用な使用条件は、相対湿度20〜70%、特に30〜70%、顕著には30〜60%の範囲である。酸素吸収反応促進剤に金属臭化物を用いた場合、前記範囲で従来の脱酸素剤と比べて優れて有用であるが、特に50〜70%の範囲で優れている。
また、本発明の脱酸素剤組成物包装体が、従来の脱酸素剤包装体と比べて優れて有用性を発揮する保存対象は、水分活性(aw )0.2〜0.7、特に0.3〜0.6の比較的乾燥した物品である。酸素吸収反応促進剤に金属臭化物を用いた場合、前記範囲で従来の脱酸素剤と比べて優れて有用であるが、特に水分活性0.5〜0.7%の物品に対して優れている。
本発明によれば、比較的乾燥した条件において、また、比較的乾燥した物品に対して、水分の補給なしに、また、水分移行を伴うことなく脱酸素することができる。
【0023】
本発明の脱酸素剤組成物又は脱酸素剤包装体を用いて物品を脱酸素状態にて保存できるが、その場合においては、ガスバリヤー性容器(以下、単に容器と言うことがある)が使用される。容器の形状、材質は制限されず、例えば、金属缶、ガラス瓶、プラスチック容器、袋等、密封可能で実質的にガスバリヤー性であればよい。また、ポリエチレンテレフタレート/蒸着アルミ/ポリエチレン、延伸ポリプロピレン/ポリビニルアルコール/ポリエチレン、ポリ塩化ビニリデンコート(Kコート)延伸ナイロン/ポリエチレン等の積層体、ナイロン系の共押出積層体に例示される、酸素透過度0. 05〜100cc/m2 ・24hr・atm(25℃、50%RH)の多層シート又はフィルムからなる成型容器、袋が好適に使用できる。本発明に係わる脱酸素剤は、低湿度の環境内で低水分の食品の脱酸素に使用されても、次のような脱酸素性能を発揮する。
【0024】
本発明の金属沃化物及び金属臭化物の少なくとも一方を含む脱酸素剤は、2gの使用で従来の金属塩化物を含む脱酸素剤では脱酸素が困難な相対湿度70%乃至50%の比較的乾燥した空気500mlを、摂氏25度、一日で完全に脱酸素することができる。本発明の金属沃化物を含む脱酸素剤は、2gの使用で相対湿度30%の乾燥した空気500mlに対しても、摂氏25度、一日で完全に脱酸素することができる。本発明の脱酸素剤は、粉末食品、粉末スープ、クッキー等の食品、その他比較的乾いた物品の脱酸素保存に好適に使用できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an oxygen scavenger composition for a low humidity atmosphere. Specifically, the present invention relates to an oxygen scavenger composition having a deoxidizing ability in a low humidity atmosphere, characterized by containing a reducing metal and a metal iodide or metal bromide and having a water content of 1% by weight or less. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an oxygen scavenger package for a low-humidity atmosphere in which an oxygen scavenger composition is packaged with a breathable packaging material, and an article storage method using the oxygen scavenger package.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A deoxygenating agent using an oxidation reaction of a reducing metal such as metallic iron has been widely known in the past. By storing this deoxygenating agent together with an article such as food in a sealed container and absorbing and removing oxygen in the container, It is mainly used to prevent oxidative deterioration due to oxygen and maintain the freshness and quality of foods. The oxygen scavenger using a reducing metal contains a metal halide as an accelerator in addition to the main reducing metal, and also requires the presence of moisture in the oxygen absorption reaction by the reducing metal. In addition, moisture is essential for oxygen absorption by this type of oxygen scavenger. This type of oxygen scavenger is mainly put into a container or packaging bag together with a storage article in order to maintain the freshness of food, etc., or is stored using a container or bag containing an oxygen scavenger. The packaging is done.
[0003]
Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-33980 discloses an oxygen absorbent in which metal powder is coated with a metal halide. Since the deoxygenation reaction with a reducing metal requires the presence of moisture, this type of oxygen scavenger can utilize moisture that evaporates from stored articles with a high water content (in other words, high water activity). It is used for preserving highly water-containing foods and is known as a moisture-dependent oxygen scavenger.
[0004]
On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-31449, for storage of dried foods having a low water content (in other words, low water activity), moisture such as inorganic fillers impregnated with moisture in an oxygen scavenger composition is used. An oxygen absorber is disclosed in the presence of a donor to supplement the moisture necessary for the oxygen absorption reaction. This type of oxygen scavenger itself is known as a self-reactive oxygen scavenger that can absorb oxygen without relying on water evaporated from the stored article because it contains water.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when a self-reactive oxygen absorber that retains moisture is used to store preserved items such as dry foods with low moisture content, it is inevitable that the moisture of the oxygen absorber is transferred to the preserved items. Depending on the water content, there is a problem that the taste may be reduced (wet) due to moisture, the property may be changed (granulation of powder), and the like. In addition, the oxygen necessary for the oxygen absorption reaction is lost from the oxygen scavenger, resulting in a decrease in oxygen scavenging capacity, and oxygen permeated from outside the packaging bag during long-term storage increases the oxygen concentration in the system. However, there is also a problem that the quality deteriorates. On the other hand, the current moisture-dependent oxygen scavengers use metal chlorides such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride as metal halides, but they are deoxygenated in a low humidity atmosphere with a relative humidity of 70% or less, particularly 60% or less. The performance drops.
[0006]
In short, depending on the conventional oxygen scavengers, it has been difficult to store articles having low water activity such as dried food in a deoxygenated state in a low humidity atmosphere with a relative humidity of 70% or less.
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional oxygen scavenger, and can exhibit a deoxygenating capacity without replenishing water even in a low humidity atmosphere with a relative humidity of 70% or less. It is an object of the present invention to provide an oxygen scavenger that can be applied to an article in a dry state that requires a high quality and can maintain its quality. Another object of the present invention is to provide a low-humidity oxygen scavenger package formed by packaging the oxygen scavenger composition and a method for preserving articles using the oxygen scavenger package.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventors of the present invention have made extensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, metal iodides that have not been considered as inferior to metal chlorides, such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride, as an oxygen absorption reaction. And the metal bromide, surprisingly, allows low-moisture products such as dried foods to be stored in a deoxygenated state in the low humidity atmosphere of 70% or less relative humidity without the presence of moisture donors. It has been found that it functions as an oxygen absorption reaction accelerator, and the present invention has been completed.
[0008]
The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-33980 discloses a metal bromide and a metal iodide as one of oxygen absorption reaction accelerators, but a desorption containing an oxygen absorption reaction accelerator composed of metal iodides and metal bromides. It does not disclose that the oxygen agent is effective for preserving articles having low water activity such as dry food.
Japanese Examined Patent Publication No.2-22701 discloses an oxygen scavenger made of basic halide and iron powder, which does not require the use of water-soluble substances, but promotes oxygen absorption reaction that can function in a low humidity atmosphere. It is not intended to provide a halide as an agent, but an oxygen scavenger containing an oxygen absorption reaction accelerator composed of metal iodide and metal bromide is effective for preserving articles with low water activity such as dried foods. It does not suggest that there is.
[0009]
That is, the present invention includes a reducing metal and at least one of a metal iodide and a metal bromide as a means for solving the above problems, and these are in a dry state, preferably having a water content of 1% by weight or less.
