A humidity control system includes a two-way humidity control material, a plant extract, and a package housing the two-way humidity control material and the plant extract. A method of flavoring a product and controlling the humidity of an environment in a container includes inserting a humidity control system in the container and enclosing the product in the container. The humidity control system includes a two-way humidity control material, a plant extract, and a package housing the two-way humidity control material and the plant extract.
摘要:
The invention relates to a sachet that absorbs ethylene or other gases for containers of fresh produce intended for the retail market which is formed by two sheets welded together at the edges (4), at least one of the sheets, for example, the bottom sheet (2), being made with a porous, water-repellent, breathable material and optionally combined with another sheet (3) of waterproof material, and ethylene-absorbing granules (5) contained therein to absorb gases or other volatile substances produced by fresh produce incorporated in small packages (6), said granules (5) consisting of a substrate impregnated with potassium permanganate or sodium permanganate at a high concentration of between 0.25% and 2%, optionally mixed with activated carbon, such that when the sachet (1) is in contact with moisture generated by the produce, the risk of spotting and contamination by the active ingredient is minimal and absorption efficiency is maintained.
摘要:
A food-grade, all-natural cold storage anti-bacterial filter is disclosed. The filter may control moisture, gaseous contaminates, mold, and bacteria within a cold storage unit; improve food safety; and improve the life of cold storage equipment. Reduced food spoilage, reduced energy usage, and increased cold storage shelf life may result from use of the filter. The filter includes a mixture of effective amounts of a base mineral, hygroscopic plant botanicals, and anti-bacterial plant botanicals, wherein the mixture is disposed in an FDA-approved food grade material.
摘要:
The use of a palladium-doped zeolite for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds is described wherein the zeolite has a CHA framework type and is polymer-bound. Such zeolites have been found to have particular utility as packaging materials for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds, such as those originating from organic matter.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an ethylene absorption filter for refrigerated spaces, comprising an inner granulate (2), a perforated tubular body (3) and a mesh cover (4), the perforated tubular body (3) being stiff and being provided with a distribution of holes (5) having an elongate form, the smallest dimension of said holes (5) being equal to or less than 1.5 mm and the largest dimension thereof being at least 45% greater than the smallest dimension.
摘要:
A filter for absorbing ethylene gas and moisture and emitting carbon dioxide that can be removably coupled to a container. The container can have vent openings to allow air to circulate to prevent excess condensation, or the container can be any type of flexible, semirigid, or rigid produce container such as a plastic bag, a refrigerator or a typical plastic container. The contents of the filter are in vapor contact with the internal environment of the container such that it can absorb ethylene gas and moisture in the container and release carbon dioxide into the container to retard the ripening process of the produce stored in the container.
摘要:
A deodorizing element (10) for use in a refrigerator (1). The element acts to remove food odors from the air circulating through the refrigerator which has a refrigeration system (5) by which air is circulated throughout a food storage compartment (2-4). The deodorizing element comprises a metal rod (14) at each end of which are electrical connections (16a, 16b) for connecting the heating element into an electrical circuit by which current is drawn through the rod. A layer (24) of a coating material is formed on the outer surface of the rod. This coating material is an odor absorbing material which is activated by the heat generated when current flows through the heating rod. The heating rod is mounted in an air circulation path of the refrigeration system by which air flowing through the system is drawn over the heating element and odors in the air are absorbed by the coating material.
摘要:
A water-absorbent paper or nonwoven fabric containing 5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-.gamma.-pyrone for preventing the discoloration of the cut surface of lettuce stem and further containing an organic acid having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and/or a water-retaining agent.
摘要:
A system for controlling the atmosphere within a container, including a plurality of adsorption beds for the selective removal on a cyclical basis and in a predetermined order of at least part of any water vapour, ethylene, carbon dioxide and oxygen components present in the atmosphere in an adsorption phase of the cycle mechanism for controlling the flow of atmosphere within the system and mechanism for desorbing the adsorption beds in accordance with a desorption phase of the cycle.
