For example, when edible oil is stored in a container with high oxygen gas permeability, such as a polyethylene container, the edible oil undergoes oxidative deterioration during long-term storage, and a resin odor transfer occurs. For this reason, a method of adding antioxidants to edible oil stored in plastic containers has been adopted, but there are various restrictions in relation to the Food Sanitation Act.

By the way, in recent years, so-called functional films have been developed that have new functions for the purpose of preserving the freshness of fresh agricultural products. This functional film includes films with improved gas permeability and moisture permeability, as well as films that contain porous mineral powders such as zeolite and Oya stone to adsorb toxic gases such as ethylene to maintain freshness. It has been known.

The inventor of the present invention paid attention to the characteristics of such a functional film and attempted to use this functional film for plastic containers. First, a structure in which a functional film is adhered to the inside of a normal plastic container is troublesome and expensive to manufacture, and there is a risk that the film may peel off. For this reason, it has two parts: an inner layer that has the same function as a functional film, and an outer layer that is made of the same material as a normal container.
Attempts were made to simultaneously shape a container consisting of layers.

The resin materials constituting the inner layer, intermediate layer, and outer layer are selected to be optimal depending on the items to be stored. Table 1 shows an example of the selection. For example, when storing edible oil, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is used as the material for the inner layer, PE (polyethylene) is used as the material for the middle layer, and ε is used as the material for the outer layer.
In addition, the functional substances mixed in the middle layer of PVC are as follows:
It is selected as appropriate depending on its use. Table 2 shows examples of functional substances and their uses. For example, when zeolite is mixed in, the excellent adsorption properties of zeolite allow it to adsorb toxic gases such as ethylene, deodorize, dry, and prevent deterioration due to oxidation. Furthermore, the amount of this functional substance mixed can be adjusted in order to achieve the desired function. Furthermore, it is also possible to adjust the size of the zeolite bolus (adsorption pores) depending on the properties of the gas to be adsorbed, for example. Furthermore, it is also possible to mix different types of functional substances to exhibit various functions.
