Definitions

  • This invention relates to the storage and optional maturation (by slow-oxidation, polymerisation, infusion) of certain bulk liquid foods such as wine, whisky, edible oils, vinegar and certain liquid spices, such as "Tabasco".
  • Such foods are subject to oxidation and aerobic spoilage by the presence of excess amounts of air-oxygen, but are generally self-preserving against anaerobic bacterial activity by means of their chemical makeup.
  • the invention relates to storing liquid foods in flexible bladders, the walls of which are semi-permeable to dissolved (rather than air) oxygen and which may contain infusion bags of Oak chips or sawdust.
  • These bladders are suspended in a tank of water or other liquid of similar density to the stored food within the bladder and fully enclosed in and supported by the surrounding liquid.
  • the dissolved oxygen content of the suspension liquid is then varied to further control the rate of oxygen permeation into the stored liquid food.
  • Stainless steel vessels have certain advantages, being non-rusting, completely impermeable to oxygen and easy to clean. However, they also have certain disadvantages. They can impart metal ions into the stored liquid food, "iron taint", they are expensive to construct in terms of cost per litre stored, especially in smaller sizes, they require thermal insulation and they usually require manual cleaning inside. Furthermore, being of rigid construction and fixed volume (except in certain special cases), there is rarely an exact match between the available volume of liquid to be stored and the fixed volume of the tank. To prevent excessive air-oxygen contact with the stored food, the resulting air head-space, or "ullage” generally must be flushed with an inert gas or the liquid free-surface blanketed with (10% more dense) carbon dioxide, often self-generated by fermentation.
  • Flexitanks are constructed from heavy-walled laminates and are installed in 6M and 12M shipping containers.
  • on-ground pouches these have adhesive bonded seams and are not suited to long-term storage as they are can taint wines and are permeable to oxygen.
  • Micro-oxygenation involves the storage of wine in stainless steel tanks, usually with added wooden elements to infuse oak character, to which measured small amounts of oxygen are added by micro-bubbling, over an extended time period.
  • This technique has been shown to soften and reduce astringency in wine, but does not allow completion of the full maturation process, as undesirable oxidative side-effects or "fast-oxidation” limits the time period over which this technique can be effectively applied.
  • the CSIRO-developed "Fermentabag” described in AU-A-41605/85 comprises an inner bag containing fermenting grape must and an outer bag containing cooling water. Both bags are then placed in and restrained by a rigid outer container. The 10% greater density of the grape must effectively forces all of the cooling eater in the outer bag to the top and thus the inner bag is in direct contact with the rigid outer container and is not cushioned or supported by the water containing outer bag. Futhermore, the inner bag is subject to internal carbon-dioxide gas pressure which effectively prevents the entry of oxygen by permeation through the inner bag walls.
  • the "Fermentabag” uses an outer bag supported by a rigid outer container to apply pressure via a pressurized fluid, to an inner bag containing wine grapes or grape must between the bags. The purpose is the assist in crushing the grapes to extract the juice, which is then fermented.
  • the "inner bag is comprised of gas permeable sheet material to permit micro- oxygenation of the must”. This is reportedly (Australian Financial Review Wed. 26/9/2001) made "from the same CSIRO-developed, multi-layer plastic material used in the fermenting bag.
  • This material allows for specific amounts of air to be passed through the film to the wine and allows for a "micro-oxygenation" effect similar to that of an Oak barrel".
  • controlling the dissolved oxygen content of the outer bag fluid as a means of controlling the permeation of gas into the inner bag.
  • the matching of densities of the outer bag fluid and the must If the outer bag fluid is water, the extracted juice, being some 10%) higher in density, will displace it in the outer bag, removing liquid support of the inner bag by the outer bag.
  • the invention provides a method for storing liquid foods and wines that are not subject to anaerobic bacterial infection, comprising an outer tank containing water, wine or any other supporting fluid, into which a liquid-tight empty bladder or bladders are first submerged, then filled with liquid food or any other liquid requiring storage.
  • the system of our invention may be combined with a number of preferred features, specifically:
  • each bladder for the attachment of hoses or valves, a fill/empty port and a vent port for venting any accidental overfill, gas or remaining head-space air
  • the rate of oxygen transmission into the bladder is to be controlled such that the combined rate of oxygen transmission from all sources is to be less than 40cc/litre of wine/yr. More suitably the combined rate of oxygen transmission should be less than 20cc/litre of wine/yr.
  • the rate of oxygen transmission through the bladder may be controlled in a number of ways.
  • the supporting liquid in the tank may not contain any significant level of dissolved oxygen, such as de-oxygenated water, alcohol or mixtures thereof.
  • Oxygen scavengers such as sulphur dioxide may also be used to remove oxygen from the tank liquid.
  • multi-layer co-extrusion for constructing the films of our bladders allows several individual material layers to be extruded together into a single film, to provide films with a desirable special mix of properties.
  • a film can, at the same time, allow a controlled level of oxygen permeation (by means of a certain thickness of an oxygen control polymer layer or oxygen barrier layer such as ethylene vinyl alcohol), provide a barrier to solvent and flavour transfer such as is imparted by Nylon and be easy to fabricate into liquid-tight large bladders by providing inner seal layers of readily heat-sealable polyethylene.
  • Such joins do not then require additional chemically aggressive adhesive for bonding the seams.
  • the membrane used for the pouch is comprised of multiple layers of plastics film it is preferred that at least one of such layers thus be a pre-set thickness of material which has low permeability to oxygen, a so-called oxygen barrier layer.
  • the oxygen permeability of the resulting composite, multi-layer membrane is to be less than 100 cc of pure oxygen/m 2 /24 hours at STP and 100% RH. More suitably its permeability will be less than 20 cc of pure oxygen (4 cc of air oxygen) /m 2 /24 hours at 100% RH.
  • Some oxygen barrier layer materials are moisture sensitive, so it may be desirable to add moisture barrier layers on each side of the oxygen barrier layer. It may also be desirable to comprise into the multi-layer membrane, a layer or layers of material which have low permeability to ethanol and/or volatile flavour compounds for wine or other stored liquid foods. Other layers may provide physical and chemical protection for the stored liquid food and it may be desirable to add reinforcing layers to mechanically strengthen the final composite membrane.
  • Such bladders can be used part-filled by partially collapsing them to remove any head-space and can be sized to store a wide range of grades and volumes of products in a single, low-cost water storage tank installation. They can also be constructed hygienically, so that no initial washing or other surface treatment is required, unlike the need to food-acid treat stainless steel tanks prior to each filling to suppress ferric ion formation. Furthermore, they can be economically disposed of after use, reducing the cost of cleaning labour, water and chemicals.
  • Bladders that are suspended in a liquid inside a rigid tank are very well protected and not vulnerable to accidental damage.
  • the greatest risk of accidental damage occurs when the bladder is first loaded into the tank.

  • Figure 1 show is a partially transparent view of a preferred embodiment of a bulk- storage bladder (1) installed in a wine, water or other liquid-filled tank (2), made of steel, plastic, concrete or composite resin material.
  • the aforesaid bladder is provided with two ports detachably connected to a flexible fill-hose (13) and a flexible vent hose (12).
  • a stop valve (3) is fitted in a location that is easily accessible for the attachment of a pump (not shown) that may be used to fill or empty the bladder.
  • a pump not shown
  • the means to control and maintain a generally upright attitude of the bladder in the tank is provided for by a metal (usually stainless steel) ballast weight (8) inserted into a pocket fabricated into the bladder and by an air-inflated flotation chamber (7) provided with an inflation valve and also fabricated into the bladder.
  • a metal usually stainless steel
  • the bladder is first installed in the tank through the top tank access cover (10) in a collapsed and longitudinally folded condition, but with the ballast weight inserted and the floatation chamber inflated.
  • the ballast weight ensures that the bottom of the bladder remains at the lowest point, whereas the flotation chamber keeps the highest point of the bladder and the fill and vent hose ports at or near to the surface of the external liquid.
  • any build up of pockets of gas which may be in- solution and cause frothing, may arise due to residual fermentation, or be made up of air pumped-in with the liquid contents.
  • Such gas if not controlled both by maintaining the bladder in an upright attitude and by continuously venting it away, will otherwise accumulate in the bladder where it can disrupt the filling or accumulate in a fold of the part-collapsed bladder, causing it to roll over and sink the fill ports. Should this be allowed to happen, it can be very difficult, if not impossible to right the bladder without damaging it, due to the great mass and inertia of the liquid usually contained within .
  • a fluid-conducting spacer and film support element (4) is provided within the bladder and is restrained by top (21) and bottom tethers, which are trapped within the end-seams during fabrication of the bladder.
  • this fluid-conducting spacer provides a flow path flow to the fill/empty port, even when the bladder is close to empty and the film is being sucked strongly together and towards the port.
  • the bladder can be provided with a porous, generally filter-cloth infusion bag (20) in which wood chips or sawdust can be contained.
  • the infusion bag (20) is closed with plastic ties, which are also sealed into the end seams of the bag to install and hold-down the sack into the liquid.
  • Such a bag can be fitted during bladder fabrication, or a part of the end seams can be left open for later fitting and sealing-in of a bag. It may be desirable to move the bladder about in a tank, especially when many of them are to be installed in a large, open-top tank.
  • a reinforced ring (11) is welded into the bladder material adjacent to the flotation chamber and a through-hole is punched.
  • the bladder may be tethered with a rope or wire tether, or pulled about with a boat-hook on the end of a long handle.
  • an electrical level detection switch which can operate a pump to add additional supporting liquid through one of the tank ports (16) or (17), whenever the liquid level falls below the pre-set signal level.
  • Temperature control and/or oxygenation of the tank liquid can be done by circulation through an external pump circuit, with a heating/cooling/aeration device in this flow circuit (not shown).
  • a heating/cooling/aeration device in this flow circuit (not shown).
  • water may be pumped into the tank port (16) and discharged through port (17) or vice- versa.

  • the bladder (1) is provided with two ports at (5) and (6), at each end of the bladder side-wall. These are detachably connected to rigidly mounted through ports in the outer tank. In this embodiment the filling and emptying would be done through port (6) and the venting through port (5) and the bladder is held upright by it's port connections.
  • additional bladder restraint can be provided by means of the attachment points (3) and (4), also rigidly mounted to the tank side-wall.
  • Such an arrangement fully controls the attitude of the bladder and maintains a convenient access point for fill and vent pipe connection, without having to open the outer tank.
  • As previously supporting liquid level and recirculation is provided by means of the tank inlet port (7) and the tank outlet port (8).
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that an internal fluid-conducting spacer element may not be required, due to the gravity emptying from the bottom discharge point (6) of the bladder.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is that the tank must be emptied before access can be gained to fit new bladders, making it suited for use only with a relatively small tank fitted with only a few bladders.
  • Figure 3 shows yet another embodiment of the invention, wherein the bladders (1) are constructed with one side gusseted-in (9) before cross seaming to close the top and bottom ends.
  • bladders constructed like this will assume a pie-wedge shape, which can be designed to close-pack radially, into a closed circular tank (2).
  • the bladders are connected via side ports (5) and (6), to a vertically directed top vent tube (4) and a radially directed fill/empty tube (3), both of which penetrate the outer tank wall, for easy external access.
