- the contact of the stopper with the new conditioned wine activates the bacteria contained in the reservoir (4) and leads, thanks to the trans-membrane exchanges, to a malo-lactic fermentation of the conditioned wine.
- This device according to the invention makes it possible to take advantage of the conditioning and storage of the new wine to activate the malolactic fermentation and to cause its controlled deacidification.
- the device according to the invention can be formatted to larger dimensions and be activated, for example, by a load of 40 ml of a suspension of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria at 10 ⁇ 7 cells / ml in grape juice diluted to 5%. and at pH. 4.5.
- This example of device is a bung malolactic fermentation for a barrel storing 900 liters of red wine in breeding.
- the stopper model according to Figure 4 has the characteristics of a bioreactor fermentation which allows the treatment of liquids such as fruit juices Q 'us grape, pear, peach, apple, orange, lemon, pineapple, grapefruit, tomato, blackcurrant, gooseberry, etc ).
- liquids such as fruit juices Q 'us grape, pear, peach, apple, orange, lemon, pineapple, grapefruit, tomato, blackcurrant, gooseberry, etc .
- These closures of active packaging according to Figure 4, manufactured in variable formats and dimensions and with specific activities are new industrial tools used as bottle caps, as burrs barrels, barrels, cans and bottles, and as lids
- the multi-function caps and covers according to FIG. 5 are characterized by the fact that they combine the devices described respectively in FIGS. 3 and 4 to form a new device which constitutes an original model of a cap and / or lid with two compartments. contiguous, separated by membranes with selective permeabilities.
- the plugs and lids according to FIG. 5 consist of different materials associated or not, such as synthetic plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), metal compounds (iron, brass, and lid according to FIG. complementary parts:
- a first hollow tubular body (1) made of high density plastics or metal, terminated in its upper part by a circular support flange (2) on the neck of the container (11).
- the body (1) is closed in its lower part by a microporous membrane (3) with a cutoff threshold of less than 0.2 micron and permeable to water, gases (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.) and molecules of molecular weight less than 100,000 daltons (salts, simple sugars, alcohols and intermediate metabolites, chemical radicals) but impervious to microbial cells such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds.
- the body (1) and the membrane (3) delimit a cavity (4) which acts as a reservoir.
- the internal cavity (10) of the body (7) is limited in its lower part by a microporous synthetic membrane (9) at the cutoff threshold of less than 0.2 ⁇ , and permeable to water, gases (oxygen, nitrogen , carbon dioxide, ...) and molecular weight molecules of less than 10,000 daltons (salts, simple sugars, alcohol and intermediate metabolites, oxygen radicals).
- the final assembly of the closed bodies (1) and (7) comprises a new plug having two internal compartments (4) and (10), the respective contents of which are separated from the food distributed by two membranes (3) and (9).
- a high-density polyethylene bung is formatted to the dimensions of a cylinder 5 cm in diameter and 10 cm high, intended for bottles 20 liters receiving drinking water.
- the active plug according to the invention is characterized by an antiseptic function which is exercised throughout the steps of packaging and storage thereby participating in the health protection and prolonged food safety of the product contained.
- the manufacture of the bung according to Figure (5) comprises the following steps:
- the reservoir (4) receives 5 ml of a solution of 5% sodium thiocyanate
- the reservoir (10) receives 10 ml of a sterile 5% glucose solution
- the membrane (9) is activated by fixing glucose oxidase (EC N 0 1.1.3.4.);
- the membrane (3) is activated by binding lacto-peroxidase (E. C. No. 1.11.1.7.).
- the enzyme solutions used for the covalent bindings are prepared in 50mM citrate-phosphate buffer. at pH 7.5 as follows:
- the membrane is then rinsed with 3 times with 100 ml of pH 7.5 phosphate buffer and saturated by immersion in 100 ml of a 2% bovine casein solution in phosphate buffer pH 7.5 for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- the membranes (3) and (9) are drained and then dried at -20 ° C. under vacuum and stored at + 40 ° C. in a dehydrated atmosphere until their final insertion by mechanical fixing and gluing on the respective lower ends of the bodies (1) and (7) of the bung according to Figure (5).
- the bung obtained by the final assembly of the bodies (1) and (7) is stored in a cold room at 4 ° C until it is fixed on the bottle.
- the free radicals produced as well as the oxidized substrates diffuse through the permeable membrane (3) to the drinking water of the container (11), in which they strongly interact with the microbes that may be present.
- the lactoperoxidase system (LP.) Has strong biocidal and biostatic activities with respect to different microorganisms such as bacteria (Listerias, staphylococci, salmonella, pseudomonas, mycoplasma %), protozoa (Cryptosporidia), viruses ( bacteriophages).
- the antimicrobial activity of the oxygenated radicals released by the stopper allows the control and / or the reduction of the microbial contaminants present in the food and leads to a prolonged sanitary quality of the conditioned water.
- the natural anti-microbial system LP integrated in a packaging device for fragile products constitutes a new industrial application, object of the invention.
- the characteristic properties of the packaging device according to Figure (5) allows a practical and repetitive use to treat, sanitize and stabilize, for a long time, liquid foods such as milk and milk products, mineral water, drinking water. flavored and dietary drinks of various diets for energy and / or therapeutic purposes.
- Packaging and closures of active packaging according to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 have characterized in that at least one of their elements and / or their constituents is structured and formatted to receive and / or produce and / or disseminate food additives and technological ingredients.
- These novel models of capsules, stoppers, lids and bioactive lids according to the invention differ from existing active packaging by their specific formats and specific biological formulations, and by their functional activities. They present the advantages of technical utility, simplicity of use and speed of implementation thanks to their adequacy with the current distribution machines.
- the use of bioactive packaging according to the invention leads to a productivity gain for the industrialist, a commercial gain for the distributor, and a gain in quality for the consumer.
