Definitions
- MIXTURE OF GASES FOR FOOD AND PROCEDURE FOR APPLICATION OF SUCH MIXTURE
- the invention relates to a mixture of gases and their method of application for the preservation in perishable food containers, preferably meat foods.
- gases and gas mixture specially designed to obtain a better quality of the food in all and each one of the phases of its preparation, including its conservation and packaging.
- the atmosphere of gases must be selected in each case, taking into account the due consideration of the food to be treated, and the properties thereof at the time of packaging.
- composition of the food is:
- the means of processing is the means of processing.
- carbon dioxide is the gas most used in certain gas mixtures, in order to inhibit most of the microorganisms, such as molds and the most common aerobic bacteria, are seriously affected by carbon dioxide.
- Nitrogen is an inert gas, which is used mainly to displace the oxygen contained in the container thus preventing oxidation. Due to its low solubility, it keeps the volume inside the container, preventing it from being crushed or deformed.
- Meat and meat products are particularly sensitive to the development of bacteria due to their high water and nutrient content. Initially the meat is sterile, but when it is cut, the surfaces exposed to the air offer excellent conditions for the development of the bacteria, and the minced meat, naturally, is more exposed. For this reason, the hygiene and an effective control of the temperature in the process of packaging and pre-packaging keeping the utensils and equipment clean, is of vital importance to reduce to the maximum the contamination of the product with microorganisms.
- red meat requires the oxidation of myoglobin to maintain its red color. For this reason, in the current state of the art, high oxygen concentrations of the order (60-80%) are used, however, although the meat retains the red color, the oxidation of the product also precipitates.
- microbiological deterioration of meat and its derivatives can be determined by its content in biogenic amines. These compounds with negative health effects appear in very small quantities in fresh redoubts. Your concentration It increases as a result of bacterial metabolic activity, so they are used as indicators of the quality of meat products.
- Lipid oxidation is another degradation process that affects meat derivatives and causes unpleasant tastes and odors.
- Other phenomena involved in its deterioration are dehydration and alterations of the pigments responsible for the color.
- Processed meat is usually vacuum-packed, or modified atmosphere to preserve it from microbial and oxidative deterioration. Unlike red meats, products cured and cooked for their chemical composition do not need 02 to preserve the color. In the presence of this gas, pigments responsible for the color are oxidized giving rise to green or yellow compounds in addition to producing unwanted rancidity.
- N20 gas as a component in the mixture of a gas for packaging according to the purpose of the present invention is not known in the market, but documents describing its use together with other gases are known.
- French Patent No. 2,650,942 we are illustrated on the technique used in the process of inactivity of enzymes that cause the deterioration of food by heat treatment, carried out in an atmosphere under pressure with a mixture of C02 and N20, under pressure and temperature conditions initially of 6 bar and 20 ° C.
- an improved method for packaging is disclosed by maintaining the red color of fresh meat.
- Said method consists of packaging food with the main objective of maintaining a desirable color on the visible surface of a food that contains myoglobin, counting for this a food contact layer maintained inside the container formed by a layer, an amount effective N20 applied in said layer and that is able to interact with myoglobin.
- the present invention has the purpose of providing a novel mixture of gases that prevents loss of natural color, early oxidation, as well as the appearance of bacteria in the meat and meat products inside the containers used for distribution and sale to the consumer.
- the purpose of this invention is to create an atmosphere different from the air and gases that are commonly used, but more suitable, to keep the hermetically packed meat maintaining a natural and fresh appearance, and guaranteeing its quality for a longer time than a standard treatment (air, different types of modified atmosphere), in refrigerated condition and in optimal conditions to be marketed.
- the meat products studied collect a wide range of products, as can be seen: turkey drumstick with skin, chicken thighs with skin, shoulder of lamb, turkey breast, chicken breast, veal liver, veal heart, veal kidney and Iberian pork secret.
- the invention finally has the process of applying the new mixture of gases to meat and meat products.
- the subject of the present invention is a mixture of gases intended for food preservation. More specifically, the mixture is applicable, among other foods, to meats and processed meat products, although it can also be applied to other food products such as fish.
- the pressure during the conservation process is atmospheric.
- plastic film with a high barrier is used.
- the most suitable gas composition consists of a mixture of gases comprising at least the following components: oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide.
- Carbon dioxide (C02) in a percentage comprised between 15 and 60%.
- Nitrous oxide in a percentage comprised between 5 and 60%. Additionally, said gas mixture may comprise other filler gases, such as Argon (Ar) and Nitrogen (N2), with a proportion of 5 to 40% in the mixture.
- Ar Argon

- the invention is based on guaranteeing the inhibition and / or destruction of microorganisms, the delay of lipid oxidations, the reduction of exudates and the improvement of the maintenance of color and odor in certain products, especially meat.
- C02 is a gas highly soluble in water, it produces a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of certain microorganisms, especially on yeast molds and Gram-negative bacteria.
- the C02 dissolves in the tissues, producing a decrease in the Ph by the formation of carbonic acid, acting with an inhibiting effect on the microorganisms.
- the capacity of dissolution and its effect of prolonging the vegetative phase of the microorganisms increases when the temperature decreases.
- N20 is highly reactive and soluble in fats and water, and does not cause acidification by not acting as anhydride.
- One of the desired effects is to dissolve N20 in fats and fluids of food in order to achieve a resistance to acidification reactions previously mentioned (Henry's Law.) This is intended to achieve a rebalancing between the species carbonate, bicarbonate and carbonic acid, which ensure an adequate pH between (5.5 and 6) with significant presence of the bicarbonate ion (HC0 3 ⁇ ) causing of the inhibitory effect of C02 especially in Gram-negative bacteria, molds and yeasts.
- Oxygen causes oxidation of fats and allows the development of aerobic bacteria and enzymatic reactions.
- the chemical deterioration of lipids is one of the main processes of deterioration in food. This is due to oxidations of fats, which in the presence of oxygen cause the rancidity of the product.
- oxygen is used in high proportions as a basic component for the maintenance of color especially in fresh meat products and its non-inclusion as a gas causes a loss of color.
- the protóxido has greater solubility than the oxygen in fats preventing the chemical reactions of the oxygen with the present fats reason why in some way we slow down these reactions doing that the fats delay more in oxidizing themselves. As a consequence, we improve odors and the color of products, especially meat.
- protoxide in mixtures with co2 causes a stable pH on the surface of the meat to be produced, improving the inhibitory effect on the growth of microorganisms that cause deterioration.
- N20 does not improve the intensity of red color of meat packed in atmosphere with 70% 02 but it keeps it more stable over time.
- atmospheres with N20 decreases the oxidation of lipids and reduces the generation of unpleasant odors in various types of meats.
- mixtures with protoxide showed a very positive effect on the presence of exudates in the interior of the container, possibly due to the stability of the pH since below 5.4 there is an intense denaturation of the muscle proteins, which in turn reduces the water retention capacity.
- the pieces In one of the preferred embodiments of the invention and with regard to the method of applying the proposed gas mixture, it starts after the reception of the meat, its cutting, separation of the parts, and elimination of the unsuitable parts, the pieces must be of a weight between 180 to 200 gr., and a volume comprised between 350 to 420 ml. in all cases.
- thermo-sealed containers for example Sanviplast reference.
- the mixture object of the invention is introduced into it.
- the operation for filling the atmosphere can be carried out by coupling a bottle with the claimed volumetric composition to the corresponding packaging machine.
- the machine itself will proceed to seal the container with a barrier film such as a plastic film for example from the firm CRYOVAC reference EOP616B high barrier.
- the immediate quality control consists of checking the tightness of the closure.
- the container must not be pumped, the internal pressure must be atmospheric.
- the tightness of the container is checked by means of a specific equipment to measure this variable.
- the composition of the atmosphere can be checked using gas analyzers, on a representative number of units.

Abstract
La viande et les produits carnés sont particulièrement sensibles au développement des bactéries du fait de leur teneur élevée en eau et en nutriments. À la base, la viande est stérile, mais lorsqu'elle est coupée, les surfaces exposées à l'air sont propices pour le développement des bactéries. Pour éviter ce développement de bactéries, une fois que lesdits aliments sont conditionnés en vue de leur distribution, on utilise des atmosphères formées par un mélange de gaz. Toutefois, jusqu'à présent, l'action de ces gaz ne dépassait pas les 7 jours de conservation de l'aliment. La présente invention permet de prolonger l'action de conservation desdits aliments conditionnés jusqu'à 15 jours, par utilisation d'une combinaison de gaz très efficace, de sorte que, même si le composant oxygène provoque l'oxydation des graisses, le composant protoxyde empêche les réactions chimiques de l'oxygène avec les autres gaz.
