Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to systems and methods for extending the shelf life of oxidatively decomposable foods such as fresh fish. [Prior Art] Oxidatively decomposable foods such as fish, meat, poultry, bread products, fruits, grains, and vegetables have a limited shelf life in a standard air environment. The concentration of oxygen present in the currency of the currency can cause changes in odor, taste, color and texture, resulting in a general deterioration in food quality due to chemical effects or growth due to aerobic spoilage microorganisms. Improved ambience maps have been used to improve the shelf life and safety of stored foods by inhibiting spoilage organisms and pathogens. The map replaces the standard air environment in a food storage package with a single gas or a mixture of gases. The gases used in MAP are most often a combination of oxygen (〇2), nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (C〇2). In most cases, the bacteriostatic effect can be obtained by combining a reduced 〇2 concentration with an increased c 〇 2 concentration. Farber, J M 1991. Microbiological aspects of modified-atmosphere packaging technology: a review. J. Food Protect. 54:58· . 70 ° • In conventional MAP systems, the MAP gas composition is not manipulated after initially replacing the standard air environment. Therefore, the composition of the gas present in the food package can vary from month to month b. Changes in the gas portion of the package may be due to gas diffusion into and out of the product, diffusion into and out of the food package, and microbial metabolic effects. In some cases, the food absorbs carbon dioxide (c〇2), thereby reducing the amount of gas in the package, while the relative amount of other gases such as oxygen increases. The absorption of carbon dioxide can create a negative pressure in the shipping bag, thereby forming a "vacuum" situation, which can be effectively inhibited by, for example, making the magnetic dioxide, the nucleus, the itch, and the itch. Below the micro-twist, the residual oxygen concentration is correspondingly increased to potentially damage the food: The vacuum caused by the absorption can also be created in a rigid shipping bag, which causes it to fail. MAP systems and related technologies have been used to transport and store food. Dedicated to these 纟 (4) oxidative decomposition of Qi (four); First and foremost, the systems I; v and deoxygenated (iv) are integrated into a single sealed container (usually a refrigerated!::refrigeration unit) so that when opened, all cargo will be exposed to the ring Under milk conditions. This limits the ability to distribute food to different delivery locations and typically requires the buyer to purchase all products after opening. The second 'integration of the de-oxidation process into the container determines that inadvertent or premature breakage of the sealed container will jeopardize the entire product. Third, the integration of the deoxygenation process into the freight industry does not allow for flexibility in the process of storing the air conditions in the container during storage and/or transportation. Fourth, when the atmosphere in the container becomes less than the pressure on the outside of the container, the sealing of the shipping container is particularly difficult. The most hanged MAP application uses a bag in the box (b is called seven _box^ to prepare the perishable material in the bag) / inside the package, and the bag/package I is contained in the box/cardboard ♦ the garment/packaging gas is flushed one or more times to form an atmosphere that is desired to be modified, 'the bag/package is then heat sealed and the box is closed. The system may or may not use excessive headspace to overfill gases such as 151847.doc 201121437 c〇2 that are absorbed by many perishable materials. Typical limitations of the amount of excess headspace available may be to utilize (stack) the MAP packages. For transport and handling. This structural limitation determines the outer carton or box that can be enclosed and stacked around the bag/package throughout the supply chain and is easy to handle. Therefore, the “excessive” headspace designed into these frames is not sufficient to prevent The C〇2 partial pressure decreases with time and the corresponding increase in oxygen. In addition to the above-mentioned conventional MAP system, a system for transporting perishable food has been developed, which uses an external fuel cell to remove oxygen, for example, by the United States. No. 6,179,986. This patent does not teach the use of a fuel cell, but rather discloses the use of a solid polymer electrolyte (EOC) electrochemical oxygen control system based on a proton exchange membrane (PEM) stack, which operates differently. The fuel cell and the need to apply a DC power source β PEM is operated outside the sealed container such that it needs to discharge at least one reaction product of the fuel cell to the outside of the sealed container. The system described in the H986 patent requires the use of a dedicated power source for the fuel cell. Power supply. The system described above has a number of disadvantages that make it undesirable for long-term transport or storage of oxidatively decomposable foods. H needs an improved system that extends the shelf life of oxidative decomposition (IV) during transport and storage. Disadvantages of conventional shipping and storage techniques can be avoided. H. Advantageously, there can be a modular package of food for transporting food for different purposes (4) without damaging the preservation environment of the packaging.

In addition, multiple gas flushes are not economically viable because of the need to meet reasonable throughput requirements. Since these architectures are typically small packages that are easy to handle (usually 40 hours or less), the cost per pound of the map process is extremely high and the resulting MAP gas mixture is not ideal for extending the maximum shelf life. An improvement to the above-described architecture is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11/769,944, which incorporates a fuel cell and a shipping bag containing an oxidizable decomposition food and an internal hydrogen source. The fuel cell operates to convert excess oxygen in the shipping bag to water by reacting excess oxygen with hydrogen. Thus, the techniques so far are generally characterized by a sealed system in which the system removes or does not remove residual oxygen from the interior of the system by chemical, electrical or catalytic means. = Functional and economical deficiencies of existing methods for deoxygenation from such storage systems.

[Embodiment] The present invention will be further clarified below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention encompasses systems and methods for transporting and storing oxidatively decomposable foods. The systems and methods described herein make it possible, for example, to periodically or continuously remove oxygen in the air environment of the oxidizable, decomposable foodstuffs stored in individual shipping bags within the shipping container. In some embodiments, the food system will absorb oxidatively decomposable foods of carbon oxides. As explained more fully hereinafter, the shipping bag or package used in the present invention is not included in the integrated temperature control system, but rather relies on the temperature control system that transports it. In addition, the shipping bag or packaging module is designed to withstand or compensate for internal pressure loss (or benefits) during transportation and/or shipping, such as the absorption of non-oxygen (carbon dioxide) gas by food, for example by (for example) This is achieved by using a flexible, collapsible or expandable material that does not crack when collapsed or expanded and uses a gas headspace in the shipping bag to compensate for this absorption without creating a vacuum condition. And, or not, the oxygen content of the gas in the shipping bag exceeds 1500 ppm. Periodic or continuous deaeration during transport and/or storage provides a controlled oxygen reduction environment for long-term maintenance of material freshness. Due to &, the transport and/or storage period of the oxidizable knife material can be longer than the current period of time in which the conventional transport and storage technology can be used. The systems and methods described herein can use, for example, a transport tool to transport oxidatively decomposable materials (e.g., oxidatively decomposable foods (e.g., fish) that absorb anaerobic dioxide) to the air that can only be transported by more arrogant air. The market for services. In one embodiment, the present invention provides systems and methods for extending the shelf life of oxidatively decomposable foods. In a preferred embodiment, the oxidatively decomposable food product is non-respiratory. Non-absorbent food does not breathe. In other words, the food does not inhale oxygen and concomitantly releases carbon dioxide. Examples of non-breathing foods include fresh or processed fish, meat (such as beef, pork and lamb), poultry (such as chicken, turkey and other wild birds and poultry), and bread products (such as bread and corn flour). Cake and flour cake, used for making noodles 151847.doc 201121437 package and flour cake). Is the present invention pure and square?

The system and method of the present invention - the transport bag 's intended to be transported and/or stored will absorb carbon dioxide 15I847.doc 201121437 oxidatively decomposable food; and in the presence of oxygen, the device can be continuously removed from the inside of the bag In order to control the gas environment around the food at least during part of storage and transportation. In the case of this device, also known as deaerator H, it will be desirable to use more than one deaerator to more efficiently remove oxygen from the bag environment. An oxidizable knife-absorbing food that absorbs carbon dioxide is loaded into the shipping bag and manipulates the environment in the shipping bag to create an oxygen-reducing environment in the shipping bag. In a preferred embodiment, the oxygen-reducing environment within the shipping bag It is formed by applying vacuum and/or introducing a source of low-oxygen gas to flush the environment inside the shipping bag. After flushing the shipping bag, the environment in the shipping bag is reduced in environment. The shipping bag is filled with low-oxygen gas. A gas headspace is provided such that the gas headspace volume is greater than the volume of gas absorbed by the oxidizable decomposable food that will absorb carbon dioxide.

The configuration of the shipping bag can be a tube, a wire, and the like, which provides a path for introducing an external gas such as carbon dioxide through the inlet port. The population uses a splicable joint to provide 'and maintains a low oxygen environment in the shipping bag. ^ In this case, an external power source can be used to operate the fan and deaerator. In a particular embodiment, the configuration of the shipping bag can be combusted from an external source to the interior: The pool hydrogen supply system introduces hydrogen. In yet another embodiment, the external source of hydrogen is intended to assist in the use of hydrogen to purge the fuel cell. Other deaerators other than hydrogen fuel cells can be used to remove oxygen from the future.

Oxygen absorbers and adsorbers are known in the industry and are available for purchase at 151847.doc •23· 201121437 pieces. Deoxygenation also includes deaerators using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and membrane separation methods. Catalytic systems can be used as deaerators, e.g., they utilize a catalyst system of elemental metals such as platinum or palladium catalysts, but the use of powders required to provide a high catalyst surface can present a risk of contamination. "These catalyst systems may also be used when appropriate safety measures are used.

Store or transport. In order to compensate for the pressure difference generated during long-term transportation or storage, the shipping bag contains the initial headspace volume 'its absorbable gas (eg: gas source (eg -g # £;Si, & Γ ' will absorb ι head space This means that after filling the shipping bag with the oxidatively decomposable food of the carbon, the shipment::: volume of gas volume.

Figure 8 shows the same shipment & 'the reduction in headspace volume after the 17-day shipment. Although the photograph in Figure 8 shows that the right example of the garment is greater than (or less than) the left side of the shipping bag, the two shipping bags actually have the same degree of contraction when viewed from all sides. The amount of headspace should be sufficient so that no negative pressure is formed, as this "vacuumization" can potentially damage the product, reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide below the concentration that effectively inhibits microbial spoilage and/or increasing the residual oxygen concentration and increasing the leakage. The possibility m is carried out, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the shipping bag is at least 90% after transportation or storage. The shipping bag is configured to connect the (four) shipping bag environment to the deaerator to allow oxygen to be present in the shipping bag environment. Continuously removes molecular oxygen in the environment of the internal shipping bag. The deaerator in the shipping bag is constructed to remove oxygen from the environment of the inner and outer shipping bags to make the oxygen roll The degree of maintenance will cause the material to be fresh or below the concentration.

In the preferred embodiment, the shipping bag further contains an oxygen indicator that will alert the people to the following facts: 151847.doc •27·201121437 The concentration of oxygen in the bag has exceeded the concentration that can be referred to as the oxygen-reducing environment. In some embodiments, it is contemplated that multiple flushing of the achievable food with a low oxygen gas will absorb the gas, thereby mitigating the need for the larger initial top. However, it is also expected that head space may be required for large-scale shipments (i.e., 2,000 pounds of food packaged in multiple cartons), which may require too many days for gas absorption', which is not practical for shipping purposes. In certain embodiments, the shipping bag can accommodate a very large headspace (primarily adapted to C〇2 absorption and protect against/delayed air leakage) such that the combination of headspace and multiple initial gas flushes will not require continuous oxygen monitoring or No further periodic gas flushing is required after the initial multiple gas flushes. Periodic initial gas flushing is expected to occur during the first 72 hours after sealing the shipping bag with oxidizable decomposable food. Alternatively, the initial gas wash can be performed during the first 72 hours or less after sealing the shipping bag: or alternatively - for the first 6 hours, or alternatively, for the initial hour, or another option For the first 24 hours. The vertical architecture of the shipping bag disclosed herein helps to minimize the horizontal space required to transport the maximum number of trays. Extending the headspace level 々 The example may not be economically feasible on a large scale. In addition, if it maintains a positive pressure, it does not have anti-leakage properties. In some embodiments, the horizontal expansion does not exceed about 2q%, and the remaining gas expands in two directions, thereby forming the "top pressure" of the shipping bag and the top empty = again.

The pressure at the top of the initial shipping bag can range from greater than 151847.doc -28- 201121437 pressure, 'spoon 0 _ 1 inch to about 1 inch water column or more. In the example, the source of low oxygen gas is programmed to flush the % brothers at predetermined intervals throughout the duration of the transport and/or storage. In other embodiments, the source of the low-oxygen gas is programmed, and the oxygen concentration in the environment of the two p-sports bag is higher than that in the inner bag of the bag. At the time of the smashing, the shipment was washed. During transport and/or storage of the feed, oxygen can be released from the oxidizable decomposition food or from the container of the packaged food. In a preferred embodiment, the shipping bag further includes an indicator that will alert the person to the following facts: stationed, low army, and concentrated to the human environment. h The oxygen concentration has exceeded that of the oxygen-reducing ring.

One more, the most oxygen, or the oxygen environment when the oxygen concentration:: oxygen washes the internal environment of the shipping bag. In a particular embodiment, the sensing time j is such as a trace oxygen sensor (TeIedyne) to monitor the concentration of oxygen present in the environment. Even clothing f clothing depends on the condition of the monitor to monitor the operation and temperature of the oxygen battery.

Another aspect of the invention provides a packaging module for transporting and/or storing oxidizable material per material. The packaging module includes a Ge shipping bag constructed as described above. In the packaging module, the shipping bag is sealed and the oxidative decomposition of carbon dioxide is absorbed and/or stored, and the device is self-contained as long as oxygen is present:: in a sealed shipping bag Inside.

As mentioned above, one or more or shipping bags or packaging molds can be used in a single transport fixture. Group, and therefore, each package module can be configured to have a non-identical gas environment and a different food. Further, upon delivery, opening the shipping tool does not destroy the internal atmosphere of the in-shipment or packaging module. And, therefore, one or more shipping bags or packaging modules can be delivered at one location and other seismic bags or packaging modules can be delivered at different locations.

Therefore, it may be preferable to make the size of the peasant bag or packaging module as small as a few ounces of food up to or more than 5 〇, _ 碎 or 卜 顿 。. The straight architecture helps to minimize the horizontal space required to transport the largest amount of side-by-side pallets. Embodiments that expand the headspace level may not be economically viable, and as long as the headspace maintains positive pressure, It does not have anti-leakage. The quantity of each system A package module depends on the size of the transport tool used to transport and/or store the system and the size of the packaging module.

These methods utilize packaging modules and systems as described above. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes removing oxygen from the packaging module after insertion of the oxidizable decomposable food that will absorb carbon dioxide to create an oxygen depleting environment within the packaging module. In addition to the oxidizable/knife-cracking food that absorbs carbon dioxide, the packaging module also includes a pressure-stable sealable shipping bag and deaerator with limited oxygen permeability. The oxygen-reducing environment within the package is formed by flushing the shipping bag to the environment within the shipping bag, for example, by applying a vacuum and/or introducing a source of low-oxygen gas.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The following description sets forth specific embodiments that can be employed in the present invention. This specific example is only for the possible construction and application of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention. The invention is particularly suitable for transporting and storing fish, such as shoe fish. Specifically, the present invention makes it possible to transport the captured Chilean baby fish to a destination in the United States via a shipping tool. The delivery of the itchy B + transport length (approximately 30 days) requires the use of the present invention to preserve the freshness of the fish. Traditionally, Chilean fish must be shipped by air to reach destinations in the United States before the salmon is corrupted. The fish are pre-packaged in the box. Each box contains approximately (1) fish. Sixty-four of these boxes are placed in a shipping bag. The size of the shipping bag is approximately 50"x42"xl30"'42"xSO"x 1 -ν , 5〇 Χ130 "48, 46" χ100, and is made of polyester blend material. Add the size of the bag to approximately the continent or township to provide sufficient gas headspace and allow c〇2 (and oxygen) absorption. The 运 bag has a pre-sealed end and a sealable end. The shipping bag is placed on the tray with the pre-sealed end facing down. The tray is preferably covered with a protective sheet to protect the shipping bag and to provide stability to the shipping bag. Stack fifty-four boxes of shoes I51847.doc -38- 201121437 stacked in a shipping bag. A schematic of the shipping bag is shown in the figure. Another box of the same size as the squid box is preferably attached to the shipping bag. The cartridge contains - or a plurality of hydrogen fuel cells and a hydrogen source. The hydrogen source is a balloon containing pure hydrogen. The configuration of the bladder can be in direct communication with the anode of the fuel cell such that the hydrogen fuel cell can convert any oxygen present in the shipping bag to water during shipping and/or storage. The box also contains a fan ' to circulate air within the shipping bag, thereby facilitating contact between the deaerator and oxygen in the shipping bag environment. The fan is powered by the energy generated when the fuel cell converts oxygen to water or by a separate battery. In addition, the cartridge contains a temperature logger so that temperature changes can be recorded for the duration of shipping and/or storage. Similarly, the cartridge contains an oxygen concentration recorder so that the oxygen concentration can be recorded for the duration of transport and/or storage. The box also contains an indicator that provides a warning as to whether the oxygen concentration in the shipping bag exceeds a specified maximum concentration or the temperature reaches a specified maximum. In this particular embodiment, if the oxygen concentration exceeds G1% oxygen and if the temperature exceeds 38 F, the indicator will issue a warning. The cartridge may further contain a monitor to measure hydrogen concentration and fuel cell operation. The cartridge further includes, depending on the situation, a visual indicator (eg, an LED light) indicating the problem of the device in the cartridge, and if the oxygen or temperature (time and temperature) exceeds the limit when the system arrives, the cartridge preferably uses wireless communication ( For example, RF transmission) and visual indicators (such as LED lights) to alert users. Then, the squid box is integrally formed with the box (stacked and bundled) and the bag is pulled up around all four sides of the stack, so that the open end of the bag 51847.doc •39· 201121437 is heated Inside the sealing machine. Performing a gas flush of up to 100% carbon dioxide until the residual oxygen is less than about 5% v/v, and preferably less than about 1%: overfilling the shipping bag with carbon dioxide such that the initial headspace accounts for about 50% or 30% of the shipping bag volume%. After the environment in the shipping bag has been so modified, the heat seal cycle is initiated and the shipping bag is sealed to form a package. The fuel cell operates during transportation and storage to remove any oxygen introduced into the packaging module due to diffusion through shipping, materials, or at the seal of the shipping bag. Fish and packaging materials in the packaging module can also release a small amount of oxygen. The type of fuel cell used is a PEM fuel cell that does not require an external power source to convert oxygen and hydrogen into water. See Figure 3. The packaging module is loaded into the storage container together with other packaging modules constructed as described. See Figure 2. Load the packaging module system onto the refrigerated shipping tool. The shipping tool transports the shoe fish from Chile to the United States. After the US arrives at the first destination, a certain number of packaging modules are removed from the shipping tool. Since each shipping bag contains a fuel cell for oxygen scavenging, the remaining packaging module on the shipping tool can be transported to other destinations under reduced oxygen conditions via a marine tool or by means of an auxiliary ground or airlifting tool. Example 1 Two rigid platforms were constructed, one with a fuel cell and the other without a fuel cell. Modify the two nine liter plastic food storage containers with sealable lids so that the gas can be flushed and continuously introduced (at very low pressure) into each container. A commercially available fuel cell (hydro_GeniusTM Dismantable Fuel Cell Extension Kit, available from The Fuel CeU St〇re) was installed 151847.doc -40-201121437 into a lid of a nine liter rigid barn to allow hydrogen to be self-contained from a rigid container. The outside is directly introduced to the anode side of the (occlusion end) of the fuel cell. A convection plate is mounted on the cathode side of the fuel cell to allow gas in the vessel to freely enter the fuel cell cathode. Dehydrogenated sodium is commercially available from Fuel Cell Store as a chemical source of hydrogen (when mixed with water). The sodium borohydride (NaBH4) reactor was constructed from two plastic bottles to apply hydrostatic pressure to constantly push hydrogen into the fuel cell and adjust for the generation and consumption of excess hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen can be generated and fed into the fuel cell for a long period of time (several days) without being taken care of. Carbon dioxide cylinders (gases), regulators, valves and tubes are purchased with large domestic refrigerators. The refrigerator is connected by piping so that the external carbon dioxide can be continuously introduced into the rigid container and hydrogen can be introduced to the fuel cell. The platform system was tested by eh reducing the initial oxygen concentration to 1% left S and closing the outflow valve under opening the inflow valve to maintain the two vessels at a very low constant pressure under. Using (1) the coffee bar c〇2/oxygen analyzer measures the oxygen and c〇2 concentrations over time, and the fuel cell consumes the remaining oxygen from the container. It has been determined that the capacity of the fuel cell is such that the oxygen concentration is maintained below 0.1%, while the container without the fuel cell maintains the oxygen > □ ≥ 3% or less. In the younger days, buy fresh Chilean Atlantic fish fillets directly from the local (8_mail, to) zero# store. The m system was taken from a Styr〇f〇am container with a label indicating that the (9) fat loin was packaged in Chile six days ago. The retail exporter placed 6 pieces of fish fillets in a retail display tray (2 pieces in each tray), stretched the bag 15I847.doc 4! 201121437, weighed and attached each of the three trays Standard. The three packages were placed on ice and transported to the laboratory where each tray was cut in half' so that each-packaged-half could be directly compared to the other half of the (four) treatment. Place the (four) half of the package in three treatment groups; ^ Air control ' 2.) 1GG% C〇2, no fuel cell deaerator, 3) ι〇〇% (4) Battery deaerator. All three treatments were stored at 36 V in the same-refrigerator for the duration of the test ^Oxygen and c〇2 concentration were monitored daily' and sensory evaluation was performed as described below. After the initial deoxygenation, the oxygen concentration is maintained at a concentration that cannot be detected by the meter. 'The results are shown in Table 2.

Therefore, the total shelf life was approximately 13 days from the generation of air-controlled fillets and was stored at 36 °F for 7 days (after storage at an unknown temperature for the first 6 days). After storage for 22 days in a high C〇2 environment (plus 6 days before the start of the test), the fish fillets in the fuel cell and non-fuel cell treatments were removed from the container and evaluated by four sensory evaluation team members. The evaluation scale is 5 = latest fresh, 4 = fresh ' 3 = slightly not fresh, 2 = not fresh, 1 = unacceptable. The results of the original sensory evaluation are shown in Table 3. Table 3 6+22 days of treatment - the sample has the fresh smell of fuel cell, rancid flesh color (pink - color) gloss fat color fat odor hardness moisture viscosity average evaluation 4.3 4.5 4.8 7 Q 〇〇 4.0 no fuel cell level ^2_ 3.〇3.7 4.7 2.9 3.1 2.8 _2.5 3.0 3.3 4.0 4.0 4.7 Both evaluations ~:~----Lij 3.0 3.3 4.0 4.0 4.7 After 6 days of storage, 'photograph the remaining samples in the natural state 'And the "fuel-free battery" sample is considered inedible, & mainly due to f odor (non-microbial spoilage) and extremely yellow flesh color. In terms of original color and smell. The fuel cell sample was rated as fresh (4). The samples were then cooked and the fragrance and texture were evaluated by the four panelists who were rated fresh in both properties (4). The head of the shoe fish sample 151847.doc -43· 201121437 The comparison is shown in Figure 5. In summary, after a total of 34 days of shelf life, the "fuel cell" sample was still rated as fresh, while the "no fuel cell" sample was unacceptable. Example 2 Figure 7 shows a flexible shipping bag (as disclosed above) shortly after gas flushing with carbon dioxide, with an initial headspace of about 3% by volume. Each shipping bag is approximately 42, x50, x130" or 50"x42"xl30" or 48"x46"x 100" and contains approximately 2, 〇〇〇 pounds to 2 in 54 individual cartons. 2 pounds of fish. First flush the shipping bag with nitrogen (via valves and pipes). After about 8 hours or more, the shipping bag is flushed with carbon monoxide to achieve a very low oxygen concentration, and then the fuel cell is turned on. Nitrogen flushing can be replaced with a single c〇2 flush event and fuel cell. Cut into holes (inflow and outflow) (or use a pipe) to flush c〇2 into the shipping bag to achieve greater than 90% c〇. In addition, nitrogen can be used to reduce the oxygen concentration to about 1% oxygen. Close the wide door and wait at least 9 hours for the trapped oxygen to separate from the package and product. At this point (after 9 hours), the oxygen typically has risen to 5% to 2% and flushes the shipping bag with at most (less than 1,500 ppm oxygen) C〇2 and closes the valve for shipping. Combine the following two facts to make it more economical over a longer period of time: undergas flushing is economically feasible: handling 2,000 pounds of packaging (rather than 4 pounds of packaging) and "offline" to implement the process, while most of the map processes are "online "ongoing. Figure 8 shows the same flexible shipping bag after 17 days of shipping and storage. The shipping bag allows for the initial presence of a high volume c〇2 inside it to accommodate the absorption of c〇2 by the fish throughout the shipping and handling/storage duration of the shipping bag. In addition, the initial gas headspace prevents oxygen from forming a negative pressure. It is important to note that 151847.doc -44- 201121437 bears that these bags will not leak and that the shrinkage seen in Figure 8 (relative to Figure 7) is mainly due to the absorption of co2 during the 17-day transport. The 'co2 concentration remained above 9G% throughout transportation and storage. The freshness of the fish is then assessed.

The box further contains an LED 乜 ('no problem with any of the items in the dish) and a wireless alert system (used to alert the user when the system reaches the hit, right oxygen or temperature (time and temperature) exceeds the limit). In summary, the 'per-shipping bag contains approximately 3G% by volume of the headspace containing the initial carbon dioxide. The gas in the shipping bag is maintained between 90% and 〇〇% of c〇2 throughout transportation and handling, thereby inhibiting microbial spoilage. Example 3 "', Fig. 1" wherein the shipping bag 1 comprises a flexible oxygen barrier layer 3, an inlet port 5 and an outlet port 7, wherein the inlet bee 5 is connected to a source of low oxygen gas $. The shipping bag 1 contains food (eg The fish pond and the headspace U. The headspace 13 makes the size of the shipping bag significantly larger than the food contained therein. In one embodiment, the size is increased to provide a head space of up to 5% of the shipping bag. The unique architecture includes a significantly larger size of the shipping bag and the headspace 13 (see j dark 1 ^, 7 Figure 12), ~ inlet (inlet) and exhaust (outlet) and gas flushing (rather than vacuum 'subsequent jetting Gas). In addition, the shipping bag is loaded by placing the oxidizable knife solution inside the shipping bag, wherein the shipping bag is positioned and the factory sealed end (closed end) is on the bottom (rather than the shipping bag I51847.doc -45) - 201121437 placed above the top of the food and sealed the factory to the top.) Then, after stacking or placing the food in the "inside" of the shipping bag, the top of the shipping bag (above the food) on the heart (four) is heat sealed to the shipping bag. Shipping bag Using inlet (inlet) and an exhaust Weng 0 ^ Hill) and shipment bag discharge orifice (outlet) to facilitate the gas flushing / hypoxia (iv) through shipping sacks. The gas is placed at the bottom of the tray and the outflow is positioned at the top on the opposite side (to facilitate top to bottom scouring). Valves or holes (sealed with tape) can be used for the inlet and/or port. When using com which is much heavier than M), c〇2 can be slowly flowed to the bottom of the bag so that the shipping bag is filled like a swimming pool, which is called pushing the air up and leaving the exhaust port. The final step after scouring is to extend the headspace area of the shipping bag to maximize the top space of the top Lili and the shipping bag, then close the vent (outlet port) and turn off the low oxygen gas inlet (inlet). After the concentration of co2 reaches above 9%, the gas flow is terminated and the bag is held for several hours up to -day or longer to allow the trapped oxygen to diffuse out of the package and perishable contents for subsequent flushing/filling. The majority of this residual oxygen can be removed. There is still a need for a significantly larger headspace, which is: C〇2 fully absorbed for a longer duration and an additional tank (and a slight positive pressure) formed by the extra headspace prevents air from leaking into the shipping bag (if Save or leak). As shown in Figure 12, the shipping bag also utilizes "top pressure" which is formed by the maximum height of the head space 13 of the flexible shipping bag. My colloquial, limited to the straight shipping bag _ the C02 height forms a positive pressure, just like the expansion balloon. Although the shipping bag is not fully pressurized by stretching in Figure 12, it can be achieved by constructing a shipping bag from a suitable material.

In Qing minutes After a longer period of time, the bag is then ventilated. It is expected that the final gas wash will produce about 5 inches of water or less: the bag is "inflated". The construction of the plastic can be abundance = and such methods and materials are known in the art. At the top of the initial shipping bag, '= can be above about atmospheric pressure ο" to about 1 inch water column or more: horizontal 17 straight architecture helps minimize the need to transport the largest amount of side-by-side pallets. The bag should not expand more than horizontally. The remaining gas expansion is in the direction of the straightening, thereby forming a "top force" and a headspace height. In certain embodiments, the shipping bag can accommodate a very large headspace (=〇: absorb and protect against/delay the air core) such that the top empty: 2 combination of initial emulsion flushing will not require continuous oxygen monitoring or: No further periodic gas flushing is required after multiple gas flushes. Covers the initial initial gas flush that can be entered during the first 72 hours of the shipping bag sealed with oxidizable decomposable food.
