願平2−163530)。[Prior art/problems to be solved by the invention] Conventionally, as a method for preserving the freshness of harvested fruits, vegetables, and flowers, CA (Control
LED Atmosphere) storage methods are known. This method maintains the inside of the storage room at a low temperature, high humidity, high carbon dioxide concentration, and low oxygen concentration when storing fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc., suppresses the respiration of the fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and prolongs their freshness. It is something that holds over time. The present inventors have proposed a freshness-keeping container suitable for transporting vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other products using this method, and have filed a patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 2-163530).

A貯蔵法は、優れた方法ではあるが、貯蔵が長期に亘る
場合、発生するカビに対してはその防止か十分でない。C as a method for preserving the freshness of fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc.
Although storage method A is an excellent method, it is not sufficient to prevent mold from forming if storage is for a long period of time.
従って、鮮度保持方法としては、カビの発生に対しても
十分な対策かなされたものであるへきである。Therefore, the best way to maintain freshness is to take sufficient measures to prevent the growth of mold.
カビの発生する条件としては、カビの種類により差はあ
るものの、一般的には、■温度、■湿度(水分)、■栄
養源、■酸素の4つの要素か挙げられる。これらのうち
酸素については、ごく微量でもカビは十分育成が可能で
ある。栄養源については貯蔵物自身か栄養源となりうる
。水分についてはこれを無くすることは貯蔵物の性質上
好ましくない。温度についても低温度に保つことがCA
貯蔵法の特徴であるか、必要以上の低温化は、貯蔵物に
よってはかえって悪い影響を与えるため好ましくない。Although the conditions for mold growth vary depending on the type of mold, there are generally four factors: (1) temperature, (2) humidity (moisture), (2) nutrient sources, and (2) oxygen. Of these, with regard to oxygen, mold can be sufficiently grown even in a very small amount. As for the nutrient source, the stored food itself can be the nutrient source. Regarding moisture, it is not preferable to eliminate it due to the nature of the stored material. It is also important to keep the temperature low.
Perhaps it is a characteristic of the storage method, but lowering the temperature more than necessary is not preferable because it may have a negative effect on some stored items.
たとえば熱帯性果物であるトロピカルフルーツの場合、
8°C以下では、低温障害を引き起こすため貯蔵は通常
8〜15°Cで行なわれる。For example, in the case of tropical fruits,
Storage is usually carried out at 8 to 15°C, since temperatures below 8°C cause low temperature damage.
この程度の低温化でカビの発生を防ぐことは困難である
。このように環境条件のみでカビの発生を抑える事は非
常に困難である。It is difficult to prevent the growth of mold at this low temperature. In this way, it is extremely difficult to suppress the growth of mold based solely on environmental conditions.
従って、CA貯蔵法において、カビの発生を防止するた
めには、防カビ剤を用いる方法が一般的に行われている
。Therefore, in the CA storage method, in order to prevent the growth of mold, a method using a fungicide is generally practiced.
しかし、貯蔵物か食品である場合には特に用いる防カビ
剤としては安全なものであることか当然要求される。However, in the case of stored products or foods, it is naturally required that the fungicide used be safe.
食品に用いても安全な防カビ剤の一つとして、針葉横目

0号、特開平2−62809号)。BACKGROUND ART Plant essential oils obtained from needle-leaved, cross-grained plants of the Cupressaceae family and hinokitiols contained in the plant essential oils are known as one of the fungicides that are safe for use in foods. In other words, the so-called "hiba oil" obtained by steam distilling the wood of plants belonging to the cypress family, for example, hinokitiol and β-drapurin (both of which are referred to as hinokitiols), is contained in approximately These ingredients have antimicrobial effects, and various patents and applications have been filed focusing on their effectiveness (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-10861).
No. 0, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2-62809).
すなわち、ヒノキ科植物から得られる植物精油に含まれ
るヒノキチオール類は、
■ 天然物であり安全である。In other words, hinokitiols contained in plant essential oils obtained from plants of the cypress family are: (1) natural products and safe;
■ 強力な抗菌、抗カビ作用がある。■ It has strong antibacterial and antifungal effects.
■ 菌茸類に対し、菌糸の成長抑制作用がある。■ It has the effect of inhibiting the growth of hyphae on mushrooms.
■ 土類に対する忌避作用がある。■ It has a repellent effect against earth.
等防カビ、防菌、防虫剤として優れた性質があるばかり
てなく、青果物に対する抗エチレン生成作用も併せもつ
ことから、食物の鮮度保持のための防カビ剤として最適
のものといえる。It not only has excellent properties as a fungicidal, antibacterial, and insect repellent agent, but also has an anti-ethylene production effect on fruits and vegetables, making it the best antifungal agent for preserving the freshness of food.

分な効果が得られないのが実情である。Examples of the use of hinokitiol to prevent mold, bacteria, and insects on vegetables, fruits, etc. include JP-A-60-108359 and an improved version of JP-A-1-153601. In the methods described in these documents, a tape or sheet containing hinokitiol is attached to the inner bottom surface, inner surface, etc. of a packaging container to obtain antifungal, antibacterial, and insecticidal effects. However, even if we try to apply this method to the CA storage method, the reality is that the environmental temperature in the CA storage method is often relatively low, and the volatilization of hinokitiol, an active ingredient, is small and sufficient effects cannot be obtained. It is.

明に到達した。As a result of further intensive studies on freshness preservation methods using hinokitiol, the present inventors found that if hinokitiol is dissolved in carbon dioxide gas used in the CA storage method,
There is no concern about contamination caused by solvents, which is a problem when used dissolved in an organic solvent, and a gas environment containing hinokitiol at a relatively high concentration can be created even at low temperatures. The present invention was achieved by discovering that it is possible to have fungicidal, antibacterial, and insecticidal effects as well as suppression, and to maintain freshness in a more perfect state.
