Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hermetically sealed soft packaging bag containing a gelled food product, and more particularly to a hermetically sealed soft packaging bag containing a gelled food product from which a gelled food product having a certain shape can be easily taken out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, gel foods such as jelly, pudding, and bavarois that can retain a certain shape are taken out from their storage containers to other containers such as plates, or without taking them out. It was eaten in a proper size with a spoon. However, recently, a new eating method different from the above-described eating method has appeared in order to add variety in texture and appearance. That is, it is a method of squeezing a gel-like food capable of holding a constant shape into a plate or the like to make it into a crushed state, and eating this with a spoon or the like. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, at present, a tube-shaped synthetic resin container in which jelly up to almost the maximum volume is stored is commercially available. This is a mode in which the jelly in the tube-shaped synthetic resin container is squeezed into another storage container such as a plate to make it into a crushed state, and then the jelly in the crushed state is eaten with a spoon or the like. However, this type of embodiment requires a strong force for squeezing out, and therefore, there is a problem that the squeezing out cannot be easily performed for a weak person such as an old man or an infant. In addition, in a tubular synthetic resin container,
If the force is released during squeezing, a large amount of air is sucked in, which causes a so-called air bag phenomenon. Therefore, when squeezing out again, there is a problem that jelly is scattered and clothes, tables, etc. are soiled. . In addition, the above-mentioned tube-shaped synthetic resin container is made so that the outlet part becomes hard, and as a result, when squeezing out,
Jelly often remained at the squeeze port portion, which was considered to be extremely uneconomical substantially or sensuously. In addition, a known tube-shaped synthetic resin container is provided with a screw at its outlet in order to prevent the contents from leaking due to an external force before opening and to facilitate the opening. It is formed, and a lid that is screwed into the screw is attached. As described above, forming the screw and attaching the lid not only takes time and effort in manufacturing, but also increases the cost of the product.

[0003]

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a low-cost sealed soft packaging bag containing a gelled food, which can easily take out the gelled food in a crushed state. And

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted extensive research and development in order to solve the above problems. As a result, it has been found that it becomes possible to easily squeeze the stored gel-like food product to some extent before squeezing. Therefore, naturally, the tube-shaped synthetic resin container described above was rubbed before being squeezed out, and an attempt was made to put the stored gel-like food into a crushed state. However, when this was tried for various commercially available containers, it was practically impossible to crash the gelled food contained therein to a desired degree. Therefore, the present inventors proceeded with further research and development, and as a result, in place of the above-mentioned tubular synthetic resin container, (1) using a sealed flexible packaging bag, and (2) the gel food as described above. By satisfying the two requirements of 90% or less of the maximum capacity of the sealed soft packaging bag, it is possible to rub the sealed flexible packaging bag before squeezing and crash the gelled food to a desired degree. I got the knowledge that.
Further, they have found that the use of the sealed soft packaging bag makes it possible to avoid the above-mentioned air bag phenomenon and avoid various defects caused by the air bag phenomenon.

Further, it was also found that all the gel-like foods can be taken out by making the take-out port of the above-mentioned sealed flexible packaging bag flexible so that the gel-like food product does not remain at the take-out port. . In addition, by using a sealed soft packaging bag, it is possible to form a take-out port by heat sealing, to prevent leakage during storage as described above, and to easily open the take-out port. It was also found that it is not necessary to form a screw on the screw or to use a lid that is screwed onto the screw, which simplifies the manufacturing process and thus reduces the cost. The skeleton of the present invention completed on the basis of the above findings, therefore, is 90% of its maximum volume in a sealed flexible packaging bag having a flexible outlet.
The following is a sealed soft packaging bag containing a gel-like food product containing a gel-like food product capable of holding a certain shape. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1
FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway side view of a gel-type food-containing sealed soft packaging bag of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of another different gel-type food-containing sealed soft packaging bag of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 in the figure shows a sealed flexible packaging bag. In the present invention, the term "sealed flexible packaging bag" means a flexible bag-shaped product in which all or part of the constituent materials are made of a heat-sealable plastic material and which is hermetically sealed by the heat-sealing. The shape is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a rectangle, a square, and a polygon (circle). Examples of the material of the sealed flexible packaging bag 1 include:
Melt index 0.15 ~ 30, specific gravity 0.914 ~ 0.9
65 polypropylene or melt index 0.5
.About.12, and a synthetic resin such as polyethylene having a specific gravity of 0.90 to 0.91 is used. It is preferable to use a uniaxially stretched material having a property of being easily avoidable in a certain direction in order to open only the take-out port portion. Further, these materials may be appropriately laminated. When used in a laminated form, a material having gas barrier properties such as aluminum, nylon, polyvinylidene chloride, and saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is used as the intermediate layer from the viewpoint of the preservability of the gelled food stored inside. It is preferable to intervene. There is already a laminate of polyethylene terephthalate in the outer layer / aluminum in the middle layer / unstretched polypropylene in the inner layer which can be used for this type of application, and these are easily available on the market.

A storage part 2 is provided in the sealed flexible packaging bag 1. Then, the storage part 2 stores a gel-like food 6 such as jelly, bavarois, pudding or the like that can maintain a certain shape. In the present invention, it is important that the stored amount is 90% or less of the maximum volume of the sealed flexible packaging bag. The maximum volume of the sealed soft packaging bag means the maximum volume of the sealed flexible packaging bag in the sealed state, and can be calculated or measured. The actual measurement is
For example, using a syringe in a hermetically sealed flexible packaging bag,
It can be performed by injecting water as much as possible and measuring the injection volume. In the case where the maximum capacity of the stored item is stored in the sealed soft packaging bag, the stored item cannot move in the sealed flexible packaging bag and it is impossible to rub the sealed flexible packaging bag. On the other hand, in the case where the sealed soft packaging bag stores an amount of stored items that does not reach the maximum volume, the stored items can move in the sealed soft packaging bag. As a result, it becomes possible to knead the aforementioned sealed flexible packaging bag 1 before opening it, and it is possible to crash the gelled food product 6 having a certain shape and stored therein, to a desired degree. As a result, the gelled food product 6 can be easily taken out from the sealed flexible packaging bag 1.

The inventors of the present invention repeated experiments on "amounts that do not reach the maximum volume" of packaging bags of various shapes, and as a result, if it is about 90% or less with respect to the maximum volume, the object of the present invention. It has been found that can be effectively achieved. More specifically, this value fluctuates depending on the ratio of the horizontal length and the vertical length of the storage unit, and the ratio to the maximum volume increases as the ratio of the horizontal length to the vertical length approaches 1: 1. I knew I needed to lower it. For example, in the case of a sealed flexible packaging bag (horizontal length 1.0 cm, vertical length 1.0 cm) in which the horizontal length of the storage part is 2 cm and the vertical length is 19.5 cm. The maximum volume of the sealed flexible packaging bag is 20 cc or less with respect to the maximum volume of 22.5 cc, that is, 88.9% or less with respect to the maximum volume, and preferably 70% or less. . On the other hand, the horizontal length of the storage part is 11.3
In the case of a sealed flexible packaging bag (cm, vertical length: 14.8 cm (horizontal length of take-out port: 2.5 cm, vertical length: 1.4 cm), 300 cc against the maximum volume of 392 cc) Or less, that is, 76.5% or less, preferably 55% or less, with respect to the maximum volume.

In the present invention, the sealed soft packaging bag 1 described above contains the gel-like food 6 capable of maintaining a constant shape. If desired, the gel-like food capable of maintaining this constant shape may contain uniformly the crushed material such as pulp, beans, nuts and the like, and the solid material 7 such as chocolate granules. This kind of mix weakens the binding force of the whole gel-like food, and when it is hard, it crushes more easily when kneaded (because it acts like a ball used in a ball mill etc.). To do. As a result, it becomes possible to more easily take out the gel-like food product having a fixed shape from the sealed flexible packaging bag. In the present invention, the gel-like food that maintains a certain shape includes gelatin, pectin, carrageenan, agar,
Foods gelled with a gelling agent such as furcellan can be mentioned. In particular, agar, a gel-type food that forms a gel with an extract obtained from red algae such as farcelan and carrageenan has a property of being capable of being divided into a large number of amorphous particles when an external force is applied, and as a result, It has the result that it can be easily and completely taken out from the sealed soft packaging bag, and that the obtained gel-like food in a crushed state has a very good texture.

Further, in the case where the gel-like food product that maintains a constant shape contains the solid substance 7 described above substantially uniformly therein, the above-mentioned results appear synergistically, and therefore, the constant shape should be maintained. It was found that the gel-like food that can be obtained can be squeezed out more easily, and the texture of the obtained gel-like food in a crushed state is further improved. In FIG. 1, a sealing portion 3 is formed by heat sealing on the upper portion of a storage portion 2 in which a gel-like food capable of holding a certain shape is stored, and is sealed. And
The seal portion 3 is provided with an outlet 4 that can be squeezed out. The width of the take-out port 4 is set to be 1/2 or less of the entire width of the storage section. Of course, this take-out port changes depending on the capacity of the packaging bag, but in practical use it is about 10-4.
It is preferably about 0 mm. If the width of the outlet 4 is less than the above range, it is difficult to take out the gelled food from the sealed soft packaging bag, and the appearance of the obtained crushed gelled food tends to be deteriorated. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds the above range, it tends to be difficult to take out the gelled food product and crash it into an appropriate size. In addition, as shown in FIG.
There may be a plurality. If necessary, the packaging bag of the present invention may be provided with a cut opening 5 at a portion of the sealing portion 3 which is in contact with the extraction opening 4 for easy opening.

After filling 5 cm, the length of 1.4 cm, and the maximum volume of 392 cc, the flexible packaging bag was heat-sealed. Then, the soft packaging bag was sterilized with warm water at 90 ° C. for 20 minutes. Then, it cooled in a refrigerator (5 degreeC) for 1 hour, and obtained the sealed soft packaging bag containing gel food. It could be stored for 12 months. At the time of eating, the sealed flexible packaging bag was rubbed by hand seven times to crash the gelled food inside. Next, the outlet was opened and squeezed. The squeezing could be easily performed. In addition, the gelled food did not remain in the removed portion.

[0012]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
A sealed soft packaging bag is used in place of the tubular synthetic resin container, and the sealed soft packaging bag has a specific amount that does not reach its maximum volume, and a gel-like food product capable of holding a constant shape. It is stored. As a result, when taking out the gel-like food capable of holding the constant shape from the sealed soft packaging bag, the gel-like food capable of holding the constant shape is desired by rubbing the sealed soft packaging bag in advance. You can crash to a degree. As a result, the gel-like food capable of holding a certain shape can be easily taken out from the sealed flexible packaging bag and can be easily crushed to an appropriate size. Further, by using the sealed soft packaging bag, even if the force is released during the squeezing, the air bag phenomenon does not occur, and therefore, even when the squeezing is performed again, the gelled food is scattered. There is no phenomenon.
As a result, it is possible to avoid the situation where clothes, a table, etc. are smudged. Further, since the take-out port of the sealed flexible packaging bag is soft, it is possible to easily squeeze out all the gel-like food products without leaving the gel-like food product capable of holding a certain shape at the take-out port portion. Further, since the outlet is formed by heat sealing, the manufacturing process is simple and the cost is low. Incidentally, in eating the sealed soft packaging bag containing the gel food of the present invention, without rubbing the sealed flexible packaging bag in advance, simply squeezing out from the sealed flexible packaging bag, it is possible to maintain a constant shape. It does not matter if the gelled food is crushed and eaten. Further, the present invention is not limited to use in the dessert field, but can be used in other food fields, for example, when crushed jelly is used as an adjunct to a salad or the like.
