Definitions
- the present invention relates to the packaging of perishable items such as vegetables and fruits, in particular to the means for controlling gas composition in the atmosphere inside the container and facilitating manual closure, for instance, of the packing without using automatic techniques such as heat sealing.
- Some perishable products such as vegetables and fruits, continue their ripening and ageing process after being harvested.
- the product undergoes a respiratory process characterized by oxygen absorption and the release of carbon dioxide and ethylene. Additionally, the product transpires moisture, reducing its weight. Decreasing respiration and transpiration in the packaging is critical to extend the green life of perishable products.
- Another problem associated with uncontrolled respiration is reaching a high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere inside the packaging, which can affect the organoleptic properties of the perishable product.
- Prior art includes some alternatives for the control of respiration and transpiration in packaging perishable products. These technologies include the following: transportation in refrigerated containers; hypobaric packaging, containers with devices that remove ethylene; active packaging that traps oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethylene; modified atmosphere packaging, coatings on cardboard; direct chemical or physical treatment on the product; and breathable packaging. Compared with breathable packaging, other technologies have some disadvantages, such as the possibility of damage due to low temperatures in refrigerated alternatives, high costs, consumer perception, and difficulties in packaging operations.
- Breathable packaging is one of the most commonly used packaging for perishable products due to its benefits in terms of costs. Breathable packaging technology offers various options, including: high permeability films; macro and microperforated films; permeable patches and windows; air vents and valves.
- Macro and micro perforated films have been disclosed in several patents (U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,152, US2005180664, DE202005011737, GB1106265, GB1134667, GB2141688, and JP6199385).
- This alternative has some disadvantages, such as the need to seal the mouth of the packaging, the product may block some of the perforations, and the need for additional operations in the manufacture of the film or bag.
- Air vents have been disclosed in prior art (US2004131731, US2007257040, US2008116098, WO2007008459, WO2010141467, and JP2002308293).
- the main disadvantages of this technology are: the need to seal the mouth of the packaging and the need for additional operations in the manufacture of the bag.
- valves have been disclosed in prior art (U.S. Pat. No. 3,937,396, U.S. Pat. No. 5,996,800, US2003152296, WO2004108557, WO2004043191, EP0700839, JP1279073, JP11301743, and JP2006125559), all valves require sealing the bag, as well as additional operations in the manufacturing of the bag.
- the packaging of the present invention discloses a combination of a flexible container and a breathable valve, composed in turn by a ring and a breathable lid to extend the green life of perishable products, such as fruits and vegetables.
- the packaging of the present invention provides the possibility of mechanical assembly, either manually or automatically, without the need of heat-sealing technology or additional operations in the manufacture of the bags; it can also be opened and reopened in ripening chambers; it is recyclable and affordable.
- extending the green life of the product can increase the growth period of the fruit or vegetable in the plant.
- the present invention provides a packaging with a breathable valve to extend the green life of perishable products that undergo a respiratory process after being harvested, such as vegetables and fruits.

- the valve assembly comprises a ring located outside the flexible container and a breathable lid located inside the flexible container; these two components can be mechanically assembled without the need of heat sealing technologies to close the mouth of the flexible container.
- the breathable lid has fastening means to attach both parts to the middle of the flexible container, which can be an interference fit and pressure fittings.
- the breathable lid can be a plastic cover with multiple microperforations or nanoperforations, or an annular section that allows the installation of a permeable membrane interspersed among the ring, the flexible container and the breathable lid.
- the permeable membrane can be a cavitated, microperforated, or nanoperforated film.
- concentration of oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ethylene is controlled by the permeation of the breathable lid, the weight and respiration rate of the packed perishable product.
- the permeation of the breathable lid is controlled by the number and size of micro and nanoperforations, in the case of the plastic cover and the micro and nanoperforated film; and by gas permeability, in the case of the cavitated film.

- the same flexible container was used, the same valve assembly and the same number of bananas in Example 1.
- the concentration of gases becomes regulated to a constant value that depends on the number of perforations.
- breathable valve's materials An important characteristic of the breathable valve's materials is its hardness and contours, in that no damage is caused to the perishable product while packing.
