Description

Ensemble pour produit alimentaire et procédé de chauffage pour ledit ensemble .Food product assembly and heating method for said assembly
La présente invention concerne un ensemble pour produit alimentaire et un procédé de chauffage et/ou de cuisson pour ledit ensemble .The present invention relates to a food product assembly and a method of heating and / or cooking for said assembly.
Des barquettes operculées contenant des produits alimentaires qu ' on réchauffe dans des fours à micro-ondes (MO) sont déj à connues . Pour ces barquettes , lors de la régénération d ' un produit alimentaire conditionné dans ce type d ' emballages , l ' eau contenue dans les aliments va s ' évaporer sous l ' effet de l ' énergie apportée par les MO . L ' augmentation de pression à l ' intérieur de l ' emballage induite par la formation de vapeur va provoquer un soulèvement du film supérieur . Lorsqu ' une pression seuil à l ' intérieur de l ' emballage est atteinte, les bords de soudure vont céder eu un point que l ' on appellera point de rupture , afin de libérer cet excédent de vapeur . Ce phénomène est connu sous le nom de " self venting" . Pour les produits riches en eau comme les plats en sauce, il peut arriver lors de la régénération que la sauce portée à ébullition, remonte jusqu ' au niveau de point de rupture et s ' échapppe de l ' emballage et retombe sur le plateau du MO . Ce phénomène est surtout constaté pour les sauces riches en agents moussants (protéines de lait , extraits de champignons) ainsi que pour les sauces emulsionnées contenant de la crème fraiche , de la margarine , du beurre , de l ' huile et toute autre matière grasse dispersée dans une phase aqueuse . Ce phénomène est également d ' autant plus important que la puissance des MO utilisées pour la régénération est importante .Trapped trays containing food products that are heated in microwaves (MO) are already known. For these trays, during the regeneration of a food product packaged in this type of packaging, the water contained in the food will evaporate under the effect of the energy provided by the MO. The pressure increase inside the packaging induced by the formation of vapor will cause an uplift of the upper film. When a threshold pressure inside the package is reached, the solder edges will yield at a point which will be called a breaking point, in order to release this excess of steam. This phenomenon is known as "self venting". For products rich in water such as dishes in sauce, it can happen during the regeneration that the sauce brought to the boil, goes up to the level of breaking point and escapes from the packaging and falls on the tray of the MO . This phenomenon is especially noted for sauces rich in foaming agents (milk proteins, mushroom extracts) as well as for emulsified sauces containing fresh cream, margarine, butter, oil and any other dispersed fat. in an aqueous phase. This phenomenon is also all the more important as the power of the MOs used for the regeneration is important.
Le but de la présente invention est de mettre à disposition du consommateur un ensemble pour produits alimentaires régénérable aux MO, dans lequel il n ' y a aucun risque de débordement du produit alimentaire lors du chauffage dans ledit' MO . La présente invention concerne un ensemble pour produit alimentaire comprenantThe object of the present invention is to provide the consumer with a set of food products regenerable MO, in which there is no risk of overflow of the food product during heating in said ' MO. The present invention relates to a food product assembly comprising
- une barquette avec un rebord, une paroi latérale et un fond, un opercule scellé sur tout le pourtour de ladite barquette en partie sur le rebord et sur le haut de la paroi latérale , directement adj acent audit rebord et - une composition alimentaire contenue dans ladite barquette ,- a tray with a rim, a side wall and a bottom, a seal sealed around the entire periphery of said tray partly on the rim and on the top of the side wall, directly adj acent to said rim and - a food composition contained in said tray,
l ' opercule venant sensiblement en contact avec la composition alimentaire .the seal coming substantially in contact with the food composition.
Par rapport à l ' état de la technique , la différence de l ' ensemble selon l ' invention est que la barquette est en un matériau tel que le rebord de ladite barquette se déforme sous l ' effet des MO, ce qui évite toute fuite de produit à l ' extérieur de la barquette . En effet , lors de la régénération, l ' opercule se soulève sous l ' effet de la pression et va exercer une force sur les bords de soudure provoquant une inclinaison vers la verticale du rebord de la barquette . De ce fait , lorsque la pression seuil est atteinte, le point de rupture va être orienté vers la verticale formant ainsi une cheminée permettant à la vapeur de s ' échapper. Ainsi , le point de rupture étant orienté vers la verticale, la sauce en ébullition n ' arrive pas à passer au dessus du rebord et elle ne s ' échappera donc pas de l ' emballage .Compared to the state of the art, the difference of the assembly according to the invention is that the tray is made of a material such that the rim of said tray is deformed under the effect of the MO, which avoids any leakage of produced outside the tray. Indeed, during regeneration, the lid lifts under the effect of pressure and will exert a force on the welding edges causing a vertical inclination of the rim of the tray. As a result, when the threshold pressure is reached, the breaking point will be directed towards the vertical thus forming a chimney allowing the steam to escape. Thus, the breaking point being oriented vertically, the boiling sauce does not manage to pass over the rim and it will not escape the package.
Comme mentionné ci-dessus , pour que le rebord de la barquette se relève bien, il faut qu ' elle soit en un matériau permettant un bon relèvement dudit rebord . De manière préférentielle , le matériau de la barquette est un composite multi-couches comprenant les couches suivantes prises seules ou en combinaison :As mentioned above, for the rim of the tray to rise, it must be made of a material allowing a good raising of said rim. Preferably, the tray material is a multi-layer composite comprising the following layers taken alone or in combination:
- Résine ionomère,- ionomer resin,
- Copolymère d'éthylène et d'acide métacrylique (EMA) , - Polyéthylène basse densité (PE) ,- Copolymer of ethylene and methacrylic acid (EMA), - Low density polyethylene (PE),
- Polybutylène,- Polybutylene,
- Résine adhésive ,- adhesive resin,
- Polypropylène , - Copolymère d ' éthylène et d ' acétate de vinyle (EVA) et- Polypropylene, - Copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate (EVA) and
- Copolymère d ' éthylène et d ' alcool (EVOH) .- Copolymer of ethylene and alcohol (EVOH).
L ' épaisseur de la paroi de la barquette est comprise entre 400 et 700 μm. De préférence, l ' épaisseur de la paroi de la barquette est comprise entre 400 et 500 μm.The thickness of the wall of the tray is between 400 and 700 microns. Preferably, the thickness of the wall of the tray is between 400 and 500 microns.
Il est aussi important dans l ' ensemble selon l ' invention que la paroi latérale de la barquette fasse un angle compris entre 1 et 5 ° avec la verticale . La pente forte permet de limiter l ' accès de la sauce en bouillonement au point de rupture . Cette pente forte permet par ailleurs de diminuer considérablement l ' aspect brûlé de la sauce que l ' on constate avec des barquettes ayant un angle compris entre 5 et 10 ° . Avec de telles barquettes , il se forme un film de sauce sur les parois de la barquette qui se dessèche au cours de la régénération et qui par effet combiné de la chaleur, de 1 ' évaporâtion, de la présence de sucres réducteurs ainsi que d ' acides aminés , va être la cible de réactions de Maillard provoquant un aspect brûlé sur les parois de la barquette .It is also important in the assembly according to the invention that the side wall of the tray makes an angle between 1 and 5 ° with the vertical. The steep slope limits the access of the sauce to the breaking point. This steep slope also makes it possible to considerably reduce the burnt appearance of the sauce that can be observed with trays having an angle of between 5 and 10 °. With such trays, a film of sauce is formed on the walls of the container which dries out during regeneration and which, by the combined effect of heat, evaporation, the presence of reducing sugars as well as amino acids, will be the target of Maillard reactions causing a burned appearance on the walls of the tray.
Le matériau de l ' opercule est un composite multi-couches comprenant les couches suivantes prises seules ou en combinaison :The operculum material is a multilayer composite comprising the following layers taken alone or in combination:
- Résine ionomère ,- ionomer resin,
- Copolymère d ' éthylène et d ' alcool (EVOH) ,- Copolymer of ethylene and alcohol (EVOH),
- Polyéthylène haute densité,- High density polyethylene,
- Résine adhésive, - EVA. L ' opercule a une épaisseur comprise entre 100 et 150 μm.- Adhesive resin, - EVA. The operculum has a thickness of between 100 and 150 μm.
La composition alimentaire contenue dans la barquette est une composition réfrigérée ou une composition surgelée . La régénération est effectuée normalement par MO, mais peut aussi être effectuée au bain-marie . La composition alimentaire est choisie dans le groupe des composition comprenant de la sauce , des pâtes , du riz , des pommes de terre , des légumes, de la viande, du poisson et tout autre produit alimentaire . Il peut s ' agir aussi bien d ' un plat complet que d ' un accompagnement . La composition en sauce est une composition comprenant outre la sauce , des pâtes , du riz , des pommes de terre , des légumes , du poisson , de la viande et tout autre produit alimentaire .The food composition contained in the tray is a refrigerated composition or a frozen composition. The regeneration is normally carried out by OM, but can also be carried out in a water bath. The food composition is selected from the group of compositions comprising sauce, pasta, rice, potatoes, vegetables, meat, fish and any other food product. It can be as well of a complete dish as of an accompaniment. The sauce composition is a composition comprising besides sauce, pasta, rice, potatoes, vegetables, fish, meat and any other food product.
La composition alimentaire occupe un volume compris entre 30 et 97 % du volume de la barquette . De préférence , la composition alimentaire occupe entre 60 et 97 % du volume de la barquette . Pour les produits contenant des sauces riches en agents moussants et en matière grasse , le volume occupé par le produit ne doit excéder 60 % du volume total de la barquette . Pour les produits riches en sauces non emulsionnées et pauvres en agent moussant , le volume du produit peut occuper jusqu ' à 97 % du volume de la barquette .The food composition occupies a volume of between 30 and 97% of the volume of the tray. Preferably, the food composition occupies between 60 and 97% of the volume of the tray. For products containing sauces rich in foaming agents and fat, the volume occupied by the product must not exceed 60% of the total volume of the container. For products rich in non emulsified sauces and low foaming agent, the volume of the product can occupy up to 97% of the volume of the tray.
L ' inclinaison des bords de soudure lors de la régénération au MO de la barquette est favorisée par une forme arrondie de la barquette dans sa longueur . Grâce à cette forme , l ' inclinaison des bords de soudure est maximale au milieu des parois incurvées de la barquette et le point de rupture va se former à cet endroit .The inclination of the weld edges during regeneration in the MO of the tray is favored by a rounded shape of the tray in its length. With this shape, the inclination of the weld edges is maximum in the middle of the curved walls of the tray and the breaking point will form at this location.
Le procédé de fabrication de l ' ensemble selon l ' invention est sensiblement le suivant :The method of manufacturing the assembly according to the invention is substantially as follows:
- une feuille de matériau plastique est thermoformée pour faire la barquette,a sheet of plastic material is thermoformed to make the container,
- le produit alimentaire est dosé dans ladite barquette, - on fait le vide et simultanément , on scelle l ' opercule sur le haut de la barquette .the food product is dosed in said tray, - Vacuum and simultaneously seal the operculum on the top of the tray.
Le conditionnement est effectué sous un vide de l ' ordre de 10 à 300 mbar .Packaging is carried out under a vacuum of the order of 10 to 300 mbar.
Lorsque l ' ensemble selon l ' invention est fabriqué , il est conservé soit sous réfrigération, soit sous forme surgelée .When the assembly according to the invention is manufactured, it is preserved either under refrigeration or in frozen form.
Les avantages de 1 ' ensemble selon 1 ' invention sont totalement visibles au moment de l ' utilisation par le consommateur . La présente invention concerne un procédé de chauffage et/ou de cuisson d ' un ensemble tel que décrit ci- dessus , dans lequelThe advantages of the assembly according to the invention are fully visible at the time of use by the consumer.

La barquette 1 comprend un fond 2 , une paroi latérale 3 et un rebord 4. Cette barquette est en un matériau multi- couche PP, EVOH, EVA ayant une épaisseur de 500 μm . Elle a une contenance de 330 ou 430 ml et est prévue pour contenir un plat surgelé de 150 à 400g .The tray 1 comprises a bottom 2, a side wall 3 and a flange 4. This tray is made of a multi-layer material PP, EVOH, EVA having a thickness of 500 microns. It has a capacity of 330 or 430 ml and is intended to contain a frozen dish of 150 to 400g.
La figure 2 montre la barquette 1 contenant un plat préparé 5 et un opercule 6 fermant le haut de la barquette .Figure 2 shows the tray 1 containing a prepared dish 5 and a lid 6 closing the top of the tray.
La figure 3 montre que la barquette 1 comporte une paroi arrondie dans la longueur vers l ' extérieur et c ' est sensiblement au milieu de cette longueur en 7 que l ' opercule délamine et donne un point de rupture duquel la vapeur va s ' échapper . La barquette peut aussi avoir un arrondi dans la largeur, auquel cas l ' arrondi est vers 1 ' intérieur.Figure 3 shows that the tray 1 has a wall rounded in the outward length and it is substantially in the middle of this length at 7 that the seal delaminates and gives a breaking point from which the steam will escape. The tray may also be rounded in width, in which case the round is inward.
La figure 4 montre finalement bien qu ' au moment du chauffage dans un four MO ou tout autre élément de chauffage , l ' opercule 6 se soulève sous l ' effet de la montée de pression, ce qui fait se relever le rebord 6 de la barquette jusqu ' à atteindre le point de rupture . Le rebord est relevé sur tout le pourtour de la barquette et comme il est relevé , même au moment de la rupture rien ne peut couler sur le plateau du four MO . ExempleFigure 4 finally shows that when heating in a furnace MO or any other heating element, the lid 6 is lifted under the effect of the rise in pressure, which raises the rim 6 of the tray until reaching the breaking point.
