Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging material, and especially to a rigid permeable packaging material for perishables having a microbiological activity, and a package and a method for packaging perishables.
- Some natural processes have to be slowed down in order not to deteriorate the quality of the packed perishables or the appearance of the package. For example, it is desirable to avoid oxidation, which could occur by a too large amount of oxygen coming into contact with the packed perishables.
- Certain foods continue to release gases even after packaging. For example, an unriped cheese releases carbon dioxide gas, CO 2 , during the process of ripeness.
- the release of carbon dioxide gas can be a drawback, especially if the package has a low permeability for carbon dioxide gas, since the gas will build up in the package and forming a package having a balloon-like shape. For many customers, perishables stored in such a ballooned package would not be attractive to buy.
- Flexible packaging materials for packing of cheese are known on the market and are commonly used for vacuum packaging. These flexible materials are low barrier material, often laminates, and are usually built up of a polyamide, PA, and polyethylene, PE, combination, or other polymers having a low E-modulus which make them unfeasible for rigid packages. Further, it is not sufficient to increase the thickness of the laminates to obtain a rigid package. Furthermore, these flexible materials usually have a carbon dioxide permeability that is larger than the oxygen permeability. For example, the oxygen permeability is approximately 30 - 50 cc/mf-day-atmosphere and the carbon dioxide permeability is approximately 100 - 200 cc/m 2 -day-atmosphere.
- the US patent US 6,746,762 discloses a film selectively permeable to carbon dioxide gas and a food packing film comprising the same.
- the film consists of a laminate film including at least three layers composed of an outer layer, an intermediate layer and an inner layer, in which the outer layer and the inner layer include a thermoplastic resin and the intermediate layer includes a film made of chitosan.
- Chitosan is a material providing a barrier in between the low and medium barriers as they are defined below.
- the selectively permeable film provides a ratio of the carbon dioxide gas transmission, CO 2 TR, to the oxygen gas transmission, O 2 TR 5 CO 2 TR/O 2 TR, of 15 or higher.
- a drawback with the film disclosed by US 6,746,762 is that the carbon dioxide gas barrier and the oxygen gas barrier cannot be controlled independently of each other.
- the transmission of carbon dioxide gas through the film would for example be too large if a sufficient oxygen gas barrier is provided.
- the pH will increase and the bacterial growth will be promoted.
- the oxygen gas barrier would have to be less.
- a smaller oxygen gas barrier would lead to the risk of the packed perishables going mouldy since the transmission of the oxygen gas through the packaging film would be too high.
- the US patent 5,763,095 discloses a packaging film for packaging oxygen sensitive products which emit carbon dioxide gas, such as a high gassing cheese.
- the packaging film is a multilayer film having a CO 2 :O 2 transmission rate higher than 3.0; and has a CO 2 transmission rate of at least 400 cc/m 2 -day-atmosphere.
- a drawback with the film disclosed by US 5,763,095 is that the packaging film is flexible and that it is impossible to manufacture rigid packages of the film without increasing the thickness of the package. Since an increased thickness will affect the carbon dioxide gas barrier and the oxygen gas barrier, the favourable barrier properties of the flexible material will be dramatically changed, either to be too high or too low, i.e. to provide a too low permeability or a too high permeability. Therefore, if the packaging film of US 5,763,095 was made rigid it would not be suitable for packaging oxygen sensitive products which emit carbon dioxide gas, since the gas barrier would be changed.
- perishables e.g. cheese
- the packed food is a cheese
- Such a package would have the advantage that younger, i.e. immature, cheeses can be packed, transported and delivered to stores.
- packaging cheese several problems have to be solved. For example, young cheeses have, especially at summer time, a high production of carbon dioxide gas.
- the emission of carbon dioxide gas can often exceed 3 — 5 cm 3 per day.
- the emission of carbon dioxide gas from the cheese depends on several factors, such as the cheese type, season, storage time and temperature after packaging, and if the cheese is sliced, also the storage time before slicing.
- the emission of carbon dioxide gas depends also on the maturity of the cheese, since a younger, more immature cheese has a larger emission of carbon dioxide gas than an older more mature cheese.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a rigid packaging material feasible for packing of perishables having a microbiological activity without negatively affect the quality of the perishables or the appearance of the package and a packaging method feasible for packing perishables.
- An aim of the object is to provide a packaging material having a chosen carbon dioxide and oxygen gas barrier, which barriers can be chosen independently of the thickness of the package material or package.
- Another aim is to avoid ballooning of the package.
- Yet another aim is to avoid collapsing of the package, which will occur if the carbon dioxide barrier is too low.
- a further aim is to avoid a too large amount of oxygen gas in the package, and thereby preventing the packed perishables from going mouldy.
- Another aim is to provide a package that is transparent and thermo formable. Yet another aim is to provide a package wherein a packed cheese can ripen without deforming the package.
- a low barrier material i.e. a high permeable material
- a high permeable material is a material having an oxygen gas barrier of more than approximately 200 cm 3 /(m 2 -24h-atm) at 23 0 C and 50 % relative humidity on a flat film.
- Examples of such material are polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP), at commonly used thicknesses, i.e. in the range of 200 - 600 microns.
- a medium barrier material is a material having an oxygen gas barrier in the interval of approximately 30 - 100 cm 3 /(m 2 -24h-atm) at 23 0 C and 50 % relative humidity on a flat film.
- Examples of such material are poly lactic acid (PLA) polymers, oriented polyamide (OPA), and polyamide (PA), at commonly used thicknesses, i.e. in the range of 50 — 500 microns.
- PLA poly lactic acid
- OPA oriented polyamide
- PA polyamide
- a high barrier material is a material having an oxygen gas barrier in the interval of approximately 4 - 30 cm 3 /(m 2 -24h-atm) at 23 0 C and 50 % relative humidity on a flat film.

- An ultra high barrier material is a material having an oxygen gas barrier of less than approximately 4 cm 3 /(m 2 -24h-atm) at 23 0 C and 50 % relative humidity on a flat film.
- Examples of such material are copolymers of ethylene and vinyl alcohol (EVOH, PVOH), high-gas barrier nylon such as MXD-6, at commonly used thicknesses, i.e. in the range of 2 - 20 microns.
- Other examples are inorganic coatings such as AlOx, and SiOx.
- the low and high barrier materials can be co-extruded or laminated in such a fashion, that a barrier within a rather narrow barrier region is achieved.
- the region of the oxygen gas barrier is preferably in the range of approximately 20 - 100 cm /(m -24h-atm), more preferably in the range of approximately 30 — 90 cm 3 /(m 2 -24h-atm), and the carbon dioxide barrier in the range of approximately 80 - 400 cm 3 /(m 2 -24h-atm), more preferably in the range of approximately 120 - 360 cm 3 /(m 2 -24h-atm), i.e. providing a relationship of approximately 4:1 between the transmission of carbon dioxide and the transmission of oxygen.
- the thickness of the packaging materials or laminates is in the interval of approximately 150 to 700 microns, a package that is rigid, transparent, thermo formable and stiff is obtained.
