Description

The present invention relates to a fresh flower product that is distributed and sold by a specific method of distributing and selling fresh flowers. Specifically, the present invention indicates that fresh flowers (flowers) harvested in a cultivated area may wither or be damaged at the distribution stage or the exhibition stage. It is related to the technology that can be suppressed and kept fresh for sale.

In recent years, the amount of fresh flowers imported from overseas to Japan has been increasing. For example, roses are imported from India, carnations from Colombia, spray mum from Malaysia, and ring giku from China.

However, since fresh flowers have a shorter duration as a commercial product than ordinary fruits and vegetables, they tend to wither, be damaged, mold, and rot at the distribution stage. Moreover, as mentioned above, when importing fresh flowers by ship from overseas, it takes a long period of several weeks to nearly a month from harvesting to displaying at the store, so the damage to fresh flowers at the distribution stage is even greater. It is remarkable. In addition, there is a similar problem at the stage of displaying fresh flower products decorated with bouquets and flower baskets.

Therefore, a method of storing at a low temperature is generally known as a means of reducing damage to fresh flowers and maintaining a fresh state for a long time. In other words, the progress of aging of fresh flowers is closely related to the respiration rate of fresh flowers, and it is said that this respiration is extremely temperature-dependent. In addition, the respiration rate of fresh flowers immediately after harvest increases exponentially with an increase in storage temperature, and this respiration causes aging of fresh flowers and stuffiness due to respiration heat, leading to the growth of microorganisms. Become. Therefore, fresh flowers are to be refrigerated and stored at low temperature.

However, in the case of a means for storing fresh flowers at a low temperature, although it is possible to prevent wilting and rot for a certain period of time, it is not possible to maintain freshness for a long period of time such as when importing fresh flowers from overseas.
In addition, since fresh flowers are placed in a cardboard box, bucket, or the like in distribution, they cannot be protected from impact or the like. Moreover, since fresh flowers may have pesticides, insects, germs, etc. attached to them, distribution and display with other products such as food and drink is restricted.

Therefore, for the purpose of maintaining the freshness of fresh flowers for a long period of time, the surface of the fresh flowers is coated with a resin, and this film appropriately suppresses the respiration of the fresh flowers and suppresses the evaporation of water in the fresh flowers. Has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
In addition, for the purpose of protecting fresh flowers from impacts in the distribution stage, after packaging fresh flowers in a package made of a packaging material film, air is filled inside the package, and the package is easily crushed by the air. A means for preventing the crushing of fresh flowers without crushing has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
Furthermore, for the purpose of maintaining the freshness of fresh flowers and allowing them to be displayed adjacent to food, the fresh flowers are placed in a polyethylene terephthalate biaxially stretched blow-molded container (hereinafter referred to as "PET can") without water. A means has also been proposed in which the product is sealed and packaged in a state, ^{pressurized to a pressure of 0.1 to 0.5 kg / cm 3} , and then stored or distributed at a low temperature (see, for example, Patent Document 4). ..

However, in the case of a means for coating the surface of a fresh flower with a resin, although the freshness of the fresh flower can be maintained for a long period of time, the fresh flower cannot be protected from impact or the like at the distribution stage. In addition, problems such as pesticides, insects, and germs cannot be solved, and it cannot be distributed and exhibited together with other products such as food and drink.

In addition, in the case of a means of filling the inside of a package containing fresh flowers with air, the presence of air protects the fresh flowers from impacts and the like at the distribution stage, and the opening of the package is hermetically sealed to adhere to the fresh flowers. Although it is possible to solve problems such as pesticides, insects, and germs that may be present, no consideration is given to the temperature (temperature) that most affects the maintenance of fresh flowers. Therefore, it can be said that the freshness of fresh flowers cannot be maintained for a long period of several weeks to a month or so in the summer when the temperature is high. Moreover, since a heat-shrinkable film is used for the package to seal and seal the opening of the package containing the plants, and then the package is heated to heat-shrink, the fresh flowers have an effect on heat. It is judged that it cannot be received more than necessary and the freshness cannot be maintained properly.

In addition, in the case of a means for arranging fresh flowers in PET cans and storing or distributing them at a low temperature, a special molding container having appropriate oxygen permeability is required, so a special molding container for each fresh flower product such as a bouquet is required. It is costly and uneconomical to put it in a container for distribution and exhibition. In addition, in order to seal and wrap PET cans, it is necessary to wrap the mouth of the container body and the lid material, etc., which takes time and effort to seal the fresh flowers inside the packaging, and the work is very troublesome. It is a thing. Further, the PET can having the above-mentioned structure is more complicated to open than the flexible bag-shaped package made of the packaging material film, and cannot be easily opened. Moreover, there is a risk of damaging the fresh flowers during the opening operation.

Further, it is conceivable to store fresh flowers in a flexible bag-shaped package, seal the opening thereof, and then cool the package to store the fresh flowers at a low temperature, which is a means of appropriately combining conventional techniques. .. However, in the case of this means, the air inside the sealed package is cooled as the fresh flowers are cooled, so that the pressure inside the package is reduced and the package becomes shrunken. The function to protect is reduced. Moreover, when the package is withered, wrinkles and slacks are generated on the surface of the package, which makes the package look unattractive, and the commercial value is significantly reduced if it is displayed and sold as it is.

In this way, the conventional technology does not take into consideration a series of processes from processing of fresh flowers after harvesting to distribution, exhibition, and sales, but it must be said that each has advantages and disadvantages, and fresh flowers wither in the distribution process. As far as the applicant knows, no means have been proposed so far that the freshness can be maintained for a long period of time without being damaged and the products can be distributed and exhibited together with other products such as food and drink.

Hereinafter, an example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Although the embodiments described below are technically limited because they are suitable specific examples of the present invention, it is stated that the scope of the present invention is particularly limited in the following description. Unless otherwise limited, it is not limited to these forms.

<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, in the method for distributing and selling fresh flowers in the present invention, first, the surface of the harvested fresh flowers is coated with a coating treatment liquid containing an acrylic polymer (acrylic copolymer) as a main component (first step). ).

As the coating treatment liquid, for example, a trade name: Dipnoy, which is a biocoating agent manufactured and sold by Greenoy Co., Ltd. of Israel, can be used.
This dip noi is a treatment agent that coats not only the corolla and buds of fresh flowers but also the leaves and stems in order to prevent evaporation of water and nutrients from fresh flowers. Dipnoy is based on acrylic resin and contains quaternary ammonium compound, sodium bisulfite, isopropyl alcohol in addition to prochlorase and water, and its color and odor do not affect the fresh flower side. ..

The fresh flowers may be those in which buds have bloomed, but it is desirable to use cut flowers harvested before flowering in consideration of being placed in the distribution process for a long period of time. Specifically, it is desirable to use fresh flowers harvested in the so-called cut stage stage 2, which indicates a stage in which some buds are opened and the buds are roughly closed.

The coating of the coating treatment liquid on the fresh flowers is not particularly limited as long as the coating treatment liquid is evenly applied around the fresh flowers. In the present embodiment, the entire harvested fresh flower is immersed in the coating treatment liquid to coat the surface of the fresh flower cleanly and evenly. The coating of this coating treatment liquid can be performed by immersing the entire fresh flower in the coating treatment liquid for several seconds to several tens of seconds.

Next, fresh flowers are taken out from the coating treatment liquid and allowed to stand until the excess coating treatment liquid is exhausted, and then the fresh flowers are housed in a flexible bag body and the storage port of the bag body is sealed ( Second step).
This bag has a size and shape that can accommodate fresh flowers, and after accommodating fresh flowers, the storage port can be sealed, and as will be described later, the inside is filled with air to make it look like a balloon. The material is not particularly limited as long as it is flexible and can be inflated.

In this embodiment, the bag body can be shown in FIG. 5, for example.
In FIG. 5, the bag body 10 has a vertically long storage portion 11 having a substantially triangular shape downward, whose width gradually decreases toward the bottom, and includes a storage port 12 for storing fresh flowers in the upper direction. It is shown as.

Therefore, when a fresh flower is inserted into the collection portion 1 from the storage port 12 of the bag body 10 from the root side, the lower portion of the narrow width of the storage portion 11 suppresses the shake of the root side of the fresh flower and stands up. The crown part of the fresh flower is held in the wide upper part so as to maintain the state and so that the root side does not come apart at the bottom of the collecting part 11 when a plurality of fresh flowers are inserted. It can be protected.

Further, the sealing of the storage port of the bag body 10 may be performed by using an adhesive or heat welding as long as it can be sealed, and there is no particular limitation, but the influence of the adhesive component on the fresh flowers and Considering the ease of sealing work, heat welding is desirable. Specifically, for example, it is desirable to use a package made of a synthetic resin film such as polyethylene that can be heat-welded.

It is desirable that the bag body 10 is transparent so that the fresh flowers housed inside can be visually recognized from the outside, as is effective in the exhibition described later. Here, "transparent" means that the fresh flowers housed inside can be visually recognized from the outside through the bag body. Therefore, as long as the fresh flowers housed in the bag body 10 can be confirmed from the outside, there may be a partially opaque region to which a color, a pattern, or the like is added.

The color, pattern, etc. applied to the bag body 10 may be applied directly to the surface of the bag body 10, a sticker with a color or pattern, etc., may be attached to the surface of the bag body 10 in advance, or the color or pattern may be applied in advance. The fresh flowers may be wrapped in a sheet or the like with a pattern or the like and inserted into the bag body 10 together with the fresh flowers. In addition, as a pattern to be added to the bag body 10, for example, a character for a birthday present such as "Happy birthday!" Or a character for a mother's day gift such as "Mom, always thank you." good.

Further, in FIG. 5, the bag body 10 is shown to include an air filling port 13 capable of filling the accommodating portion 11 with air.
The air filling port 13 is a check valve having a structure in which the air filled into the accommodating portion 11 does not flow back and leak in the step (third step) described later. Therefore, the bag body 10 inflated by filling with air does not wither indiscriminately, and the air can protect fresh flowers from impact and the like.

Further, in FIG. 5, it is shown that the bag bodies 14 and 14 are provided above the bag body 10 at positions opposite to each other (that is, the front side and the back side) in the peripheral body portion.
In the step (fourth step) described later, the handbag portion 14 is locked to a hook or the like, or after the purchase of a fresh flower product, the bag body 10 containing the fresh flowers and inflated is gripped so as to be hung with one hand. It is very convenient because you can take it home with you.

Further, in the present invention, when the storage port 12 of the bag body is sealed, an ethylene gas absorber (not shown) may be arranged in the bag body 10. That is, ethylene is known to promote the ripening of agricultural products, and by arranging an ethylene gas absorber in the bag body, ethylene gas in the closed bag body is adsorbed and the ripening of fresh flowers is suppressed. It will be something that can be done. The ethylene gas absorber does not need to be special, and well-known ones such as charcoal (bamboo charcoal and the like) and porous minerals (zeolite and the like) can be used.

Subsequently, the surrounding atmosphere in which the work is carried out is set to a predetermined low temperature that suppresses the growth (flowering) of fresh flowers but does not cause any obstacles, and under this environment, the storage port 12 is filled in the sealed bag body 10 and the filling port 13 is used. The bag body 10 is inflated by filling air through the bag body 10 to obtain a fresh flower product (third step).
Here, the predetermined low temperature means a temperature at which the physiological activity of the flower arrangement is most suppressed, specifically, 2 to 7 ° C. is preferable, and 2 to 4 ° C. is preferable.

In this embodiment, the fresh flower product can be shown, for example, in FIG.
In FIG. 6, the fresh flower product 20 has a fresh flower F housed in the storage portion 11 of the bag body 10, and the storage port 12 of the storage portion 11 has a sealing portion 15 sealed by heat welding, and the filling port 13 The accommodating portion 11 is shown as inflated with the more filled air A.

Then, the fresh flower product 20 is transported to a store or the like by an airplane, a ship, a railroad, a truck, or the like while maintaining the above-mentioned predetermined low temperature, and the fresh flower product 20 is exhibited and sold at the store or the like (fourth step). ..
The fresh flower products 20 can be exhibited at convenience stores, drug stores, supermarkets, discount stores, home centers, and other stores, as well as vending machines.

Further, in the fresh flower product 20 of the present invention, since the fresh flower F is sealed in the bag body 10, the risk of pesticides, insects, germs and the like being scattered is eliminated, and other products such as foods and drinks are eliminated. It will be possible to distribute and exhibit together with. Therefore, it is possible to share the refrigerated showcase with food and display it.

In addition, in the exhibition of fresh flower products 20, by hanging them in a refrigerated showcase using the handbags 14 and 14, the root side of the fresh flowers F housed in the bag 10 faces downward, which is a good appearance. The exhibition can be held while standing upright.

As described above, the present invention considers a series of processes from processing of fresh flowers after harvesting to distribution, exhibition, and sales, and can not only maintain the freshness of fresh flowers for a long period of time in the distribution / sales process, but also eat and drink. Since fresh flowers can be distributed and displayed together with other products such as products, it is expected that not only stores specializing in fresh flowers but also new sales destinations will be expanded (developed) and sales opportunities for fresh flowers will increase accordingly. It becomes a thing. Therefore, it can be expected that the reduction of the loss of fresh flowers and the expansion of demand by the present invention will increase the profits of producers (fresh flower farmers) and improve the quality and production technology of fresh flowers.

In addition, the present invention can significantly reduce the damage to fresh flowers when a customer purchases and takes them home.
That is, until now, when a customer purchases a fresh flower product and takes it home, the warmth of the hand is transmitted to the fresh flower F by holding the root side part of the fresh flower F, or the product is placed in a low temperature atmosphere. The fresh flowers (on display) were suddenly exposed to the outside temperature, causing great damage to the fresh flowers. In particular, when the outside temperature is high, such as in the summer, the temperature causes great stress.
However, in the case of the fresh flower product 20 in the present invention, the fresh flower product 20 can be carried back to the fresh flower F by using the handbags 14 and 14 without directly touching the fresh flower F, so that the warmth of the hand is transmitted to the fresh flower F. The freshness of the fresh flower F can be maintained without any problem.

Further, in the fresh flower product 20 of the present invention, since air A cooled to a predetermined low temperature exists around the fresh flower housed in the bag body 10, the customer purchases the fresh flower product 20 and goes home. When it is taken home, it is gradually exposed to the outside air temperature through the air A filled in the expropriation section 11. Therefore, the stress on the fresh flowers can be relaxed and the freshness of the fresh flowers can be maintained.
Moreover, in the fresh flower product 20 of the present invention, since the circumference of the fresh flower F is covered with the bag body 10, the corolla is windy even when a strong wind is blowing when the customer purchases and takes it home. It will be surely protected without being exposed to the stress caused by.

Then, the fresh flower product 20 in the present invention can be taken home appropriately, efficiently, and safely by the customer while maintaining the freshness of the fresh flowers after distribution and sale, and then the bag body 10 is broken. By doing so, the fresh flower F can be easily taken out and displayed in a desired place.
