Description
PROCEDE DE CONDITIONNEMENT SOUS ATMOSPHERE PROTECTRICE ET EMBALLAGE COMPRENANT UNE RESERVE DE GAZ A LIBERER PROTECTIVE ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING METHOD AND PACKAGE COMPRISING A GAS RESERVE TO BE RELEASED
La présente invention concerne le domaine du conditionnement de produits, notamment de produits alimentaires, sous atmosphère modifiée. The present invention relates to the field of packaging products, especially food products, under modified atmosphere.
Les atmosphères utilisées dans de tels emballages (de fruits, de légumes et notamment de salades, de viandes et notamment de charcuteries etc ..) sont le plus souvent constituées de gaz inertes (azote, argon, ou encore dioxyde de carbone). Ces atmosphères, de façon bien connue, ralentissent les phénomènes de dégradation du produit. The atmospheres used in such packaging (fruits, vegetables and especially salads, meats and especially cold cuts etc. ..) are most often made of inert gases (nitrogen, argon, or carbon dioxide). These atmospheres, as is well known, slow down the degradation phenomena of the product.
Pour les produits frais ou les produits sous emballage (sachet, boite...) dont l'emballage a été ouvert pour consommer une partie des denrées, augmenter la durée de conservation va demander de les stocker soit sous vide soit dans un contenant dans lequel l'air sera remplacé par une atmosphère protectrice. En effet, une fois ces emballages ouverts, les produits alimentaires à contact avec l'air vont se dégrader plus rapidement car la vitesse de développement des bactéries augmentera en conséquence. L'autre effet négatif est que la date de péremption du producteur ne sera plus garantie. La fonction d'emballage sous atmosphère modifiée est perdue lors de l'ouverture sans aucun moyen de la restaurer simplement. For fresh products or products in packaging (sachet, box ...) whose packaging has been opened to consume some of the foodstuffs, increasing the shelf life will require to store them either under vacuum or in a container in which the air will be replaced by a protective atmosphere. Indeed, once these packages open, air contact food products will degrade more quickly because the speed of development of bacteria will increase accordingly. The other negative effect is that the expiry date of the producer will no longer be guaranteed. The modified atmosphere packaging function is lost during opening without any means of simply restoring it.
Et l'on sait par exemple que certains fabricants proposent des emballages spéciaux de type boites, munis d'une valve, qui permettent de réduire la quantité d'air présente dans la boite et de limiter l'oxydation des aliments, en dépressurisant légèrement l'emballage. Cependant l'oxygène reste alors toujours présent dans l'emballage, même si c'est en quantité plus réduite. De plus ce type de boite, au fil des utilisations (lave-vaisselle, four à micro-ondes...) perd sa capacité de dépressurisation, ce qui provoquera des entrées d'air dans l'emballage, dégradant ainsi les conditions de conservation des aliments.
On sait aussi que certains fabricants proposent des solutions pour stocker sous vide les aliments, mais ceci nécessite des dispositifs encombrants et onéreux. Et en particulier ces solutions de l'art antérieur disponibles pour les particuliers sont souvent mal notées par ces particuliers, les inconvénients les plus souvent cités étant les suivants : And we know for example that some manufacturers offer special packaging type boxes, equipped with a valve, which reduce the amount of air in the box and limit the oxidation of food, depressurizing slightly l 'packaging. However oxygen remains then always present in the package, even if it is in smaller quantity. In addition this type of box, over uses (dishwasher, microwave oven ...) loses its ability to depressurize, which will cause air intake in the package, thus degrading the conditions of conservation food. It is also known that some manufacturers offer solutions for vacuum storage of food, but this requires bulky and expensive devices. And in particular these solutions of the prior art available to individuals are often poorly noted by these individuals, the disadvantages most often cited being the following:
- les faibles performances de vide ; - poor vacuum performance;
- l'impossibilité d'utiliser des sachets ordinaires (i.e. des sacs dits « de congélation » disponibles en grandes surfaces), or les sachets spécifiques sont chers et ils ne peuvent être utilisés qu'une seule fois. - the impossibility of using ordinary bags (i.e. so-called "freezing bags" available in large areas), or the specific bags are expensive and they can only be used once.
- mais aussi l'impossibilité de préserver, par cette méthode, des aliments fragiles tels les fruits rouges, aliments qui ne résistent pas à la mise sous vide. - but also the impossibility of preserving, by this method, fragile foods such as red fruits, foods that are not resistant to the vacuum.
Un des objectifs de la présente invention est alors de proposer un nouvel emballage permettant, notamment pour l'utilisateur domestique (applications à la maison) de conditionner des produits ou de reconditionner des produits après ouverture d'un emballage initial, sous atmosphère protectrice, ceci grâce à un système simple et parfaitement sécurisé. Le gaz mis en œuvre dans l'emballage pour le conditionnement des produits sous atmosphère de protection peut notamment être du CO2, de l'azote, de l'oxygène, de l'argon, de l'hélium ou un mélange d'un ou plusieurs de ces gaz, comme il est connu de l'homme du métier, la composition gazeuse devant être déterminée en fonction du type de produit alimentaire concerné et de l'action recherchée. One of the objectives of the present invention is then to propose a new packaging allowing, in particular for the domestic user (home applications) to package products or repackage products after opening an initial packaging, under a protective atmosphere, this thanks to a simple and perfectly secure system. The gas used in the packaging for the packaging of the products under a protective atmosphere may in particular be CO 2 , nitrogen, oxygen, argon, helium or a mixture of a or more of these gases, as known to those skilled in the art, the gas composition to be determined depending on the type of food product concerned and the desired action.
Comme on le verra plus en détails et à l'aide d'exemples dans ce qui suit, l'idée novatrice de la présente invention est de proposer un nouvel emballage où la réserve de gaz, nécessaire à la mise sous atmosphère protectrice des aliments considérés, est disponible dans l'emballage lui même, et ce volume de gaz disponible est libérable dans l'emballage par une action volontariste de l'utilisateur quand celui-ci le juge adéquat.
L'invention concerne alors un procédé de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment d'un produit alimentaire, sous atmosphère de protection, du type où : As will be seen in more detail and with the aid of examples in the following, the novel idea of the present invention is to propose a new packaging where the reserve of gas, necessary for the setting in protective atmosphere of the food considered , is available in the packaging itself, and this volume of available gas is releasable in the package by a voluntary action of the user when it considers it adequate. The invention thus relates to a method for packaging a product, in particular a food product, under a protective atmosphere, of the type in which:
a) on positionne le produit dans un emballage ; a) the product is positioned in a package;
b) on introduit dans l'emballage un volume d'une atmosphère de protection dont la composition est adaptée au produit à préserver ; b) introducing into the package a volume of a protective atmosphere whose composition is adapted to the product to be preserved;
c) on scelle l'emballage; c) seal the package;
se caractérisant en ce que ledit volume est disponible dans l'emballage sous la forme d'une réserve d'atmosphère de protection apte à être libérée dans l'emballage par une action délibérée, et en ce que l'on déclenche cette action après avoir scellé l'emballage. characterized in that said volume is available in the package in the form of a reserve of protective atmosphere capable of being released into the package by a deliberate action, and in that this action is triggered after having sealed the packaging.
Le cas échéant, on procède, avant de sceller l'emballage, à une opération durant laquelle on « chasse » manuellement l'air présent dans l'emballage. If necessary, it is carried out, before sealing the packaging, to an operation during which one manually "flush" the air present in the package.
L'invention pourra par ailleurs adopter l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes : The invention may furthermore adopt one or more of the following features:
- selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention : according to one embodiment of the invention:
i) l'emballage se présente sous la forme d'un sachet de type alimentaire à deux compartiments, l'un des compartiments étant apte à accueillir les produits à conditionner, tandis que l'autre compartiment est apte à accueillir la dite réserve d'atmosphère de protection, les deux compartiments étant séparés par une interface ; et i) the packaging is in the form of a food-type bag with two compartments, one of the compartments being able to accommodate the products to be packaged, while the other compartment is able to accommodate the said reserve of protective atmosphere, the two compartments being separated by an interface; and
j) on libère la réserve d'atmosphère de protection par une action délibérée sur ladite interface, par exemple en exerçant une pression sur cette interface qui entraine son perçage ou encore par le fait que l'interface est constituée d'une fermeture, par exemple de type glissière. - selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, ladite réserve d'atmosphère disponible dans l'emballage se présente sous la forme d'une ou de plusieurs bulle(s) de gaz, enfermée(s) dans une enveloppe, enveloppe
préférentiellement solidaire d'une des parois (interne) de l'emballage, enveloppe sur laquelle il est possible d'exercer ladite action depuis l'extérieur de l'emballage, par exemple une pression, permettant de faire éclater la ou les bulles et de libérer ainsi dans l'emballage le gaz qu'elle(s) contien(en)t. j) the reserve of protective atmosphere is released by a deliberate action on said interface, for example by exerting a pressure on this interface which causes its drilling or by the fact that the interface consists of a closure, for example slide type. according to another embodiment of the invention, said reserve of atmosphere available in the package is in the form of one or more gas bubbles enclosed in an envelope, preferably integral with one of the (internal) walls of the package, envelope on which it is possible to exert said action from outside the package, for example a pressure, to burst the bubble or bubbles and thus release in the packaging the gas that it (s) contains (in) t.
-selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, ladite réserve d'atmosphère disponible dans l'emballage se présente sous la forme d'une ou de plusieurs bulle(s) de gaz, enfermée(s) dans une enveloppe, enveloppe qui n'est pas solidaire de l'emballage, et qui est apte à être introduite dans l'emballage avant, pendant ou après que les produits aient été positionnés dans l'emballage, et en tout état de cause avant scellement, et où il est possible d'exercer ladite action depuis l'extérieur de l'emballage, par exemple une pression, permettant de faire éclater la ou les bulles et de libérer ainsi dans l'emballage le gaz qu'elle(s) contien(en)t. according to another embodiment of the invention, said reserve of atmosphere available in the package is in the form of one or more gas bubbles enclosed in an envelope, envelope which is not attached to the packaging, and which is suitable for being introduced into the packaging before, during or after the products have been placed in the packaging, and in any event before sealing, and where it is possible to exert said action from outside the package, for example a pressure, for bursting the bubble or bubbles and thus release in the package the gas that it (s) contains (in) t.
On peut considérer que dans ce mode, l'enveloppe, qui n'est pas solidaire d'une des parois, est « libre » de ses mouvements à l'intérieur de l'emballage. It can be considered that in this mode, the envelope, which is not integral with one of the walls, is "free" of its movements inside the package.
Les figures 1 et 2 annexées illustrent par des vues schématiques partielles deux modes de réalisation de l'invention. Figures 1 and 2 attached illustrate by partial schematic views two embodiments of the invention.
On reconnaît sur la figure 1 un emballage 1 qui se présente sous la forme d'un sachet de type alimentaire à deux compartiments (4, 5), l'un des compartiments (4) qui peut être fermé à l'aide d'un dispositif adapté (2) étant apte à accueillir les produits à conditionner, tandis que l'autre compartiment (5) est apte à accueillir la dite réserve d'atmosphère de protection (3), par exemple un volume d'azote ou encore d'un mélange N2-CO2, les deux compartimentsFIG. 1 shows a package 1 which is in the form of a two-compartment food-type bag (4, 5), one of the compartments (4) which can be closed by means of a adapted device (2) being able to accommodate the products to be packaged, while the other compartment (5) is able to accommodate said protective atmosphere reserve (3), for example a volume of nitrogen or of a mixture N 2 -CO 2 , the two compartments
4/5 étant séparés par une interface (6) . 4/5 being separated by an interface (6).
L'interface 6 est configurée pour qu'une action délibérée sur l'interface, par exemple en exerçant une pression sur cette interface qui entraine son perçage ou encore par le fait que l'interface est constituée d'une fermeture de type glissière, permette de libérer la réserve d'atmosphère de protection 3 pour la faire passer du compartiment « gaz » 5 dans le compartiment « produits » 4.
On reconnaît sur la figure 2 un autre mode de réalisation de la réserve de gaz proposée selon l'invention, où l'emballage 1 , qui se présente ici sous la forme d'un sachet de type alimentaire avec une fermeture 2, par exemple de type glissière (on dit aussi dans cette industrie « Zip »), et où, conformément à l'invention, l'emballage comporte une bulle de gaz 3, enfermée dans une enveloppe sphérique ou encore oblongue, enveloppe qui peut, selon les cas, être solidaire ou non d'une des parois interne de l'emballage, bulle de gaz qui constitue la réserve de gaz initialement disponible dans l'emballage. Ce dispositif pourrait intégrer plusieurs bulles de ce type afin de disposer d'un volume de gaz compatible avec la conservation des aliments à préserver. The interface 6 is configured so that a deliberate action on the interface, for example by exerting pressure on this interface which causes its drilling or by the fact that the interface consists of a slide-type closure, allows to release the reserve of protective atmosphere 3 from the compartment "gas" 5 in the compartment "products" 4. FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the proposed gas reserve according to the invention, where the package 1, which is here in the form of a food-type bag with a closure 2, for example of slide type (we also say in this industry "Zip"), and where, according to the invention, the package comprises a gas bubble 3, enclosed in a spherical or oblong envelope, envelope that can, depending on the case, to be secured or not to one of the inner walls of the package, a gas bubble which constitutes the gas reserve initially available in the package. This device could incorporate several bubbles of this type in order to have a volume of gas compatible with the preservation of foods to preserve.
L'enveloppe est configurée pour pouvoir y exercer une action depuis l'extérieur de l'emballage, par exemple une pression, permettant de faire éclater la bulle et de libérer ainsi dans l'emballage le gaz qu'elle contient. Et l'on conçoit dès lors les formidables avantages qui sont offerts par les emballages conformes à l'invention, d'ailleurs tant pour des applications professionnelles que pour des applications domestiques, où : The envelope is configured to be able to exert an action from outside the package, for example a pressure, to burst the bubble and thus release in the package the gas it contains. And it is therefore conceivable the tremendous advantages that are offered by the packaging according to the invention, also for both professional applications and for domestic applications, where:
- les produits retrouvent une durée de vie (aptitude à être consommés) de plusieurs jours, ce qui offre une sécurité sanitaire très appréciable. - The products have a shelf life (ability to be consumed) of several days, which provides a very significant health security.
- toujours à titre illustratif, les ménagères doivent souvent préparer chaque jour, pour l'ensemble de la famille, plusieurs repas, incluant un déjeuner pour la mi-journée (à l'école ou l'entreprise) voire même un dîner pour certains type de postes, ce qui peut nécessiter beaucoup de travail, souvent réalisé tard le soir ou très tôt le matin. On voit dès lors l'avantage considérable de pouvoir disposer de tels emballages au réfrigérateur où pour plusieurs jours les denrées sont préparées (épluchées, coupées, cuites etc ..) et préservées par la mise en action de la réserve de gaz, il est alors possible de simplement emporter à l'école ou l'entreprise le ou les sachets considérés, pour une consommation à froid ou réchauffage au micro-ondes, sans avoir à effectuer un travail harassant quotidien. La ménagère retrouve alors beaucoup de liberté et de tranquillité d'esprit.
- toujours à titre illustratif, on peut souligner l'intérêt de l'invention pour protéger facilement les fruits fragiles (par exemple les fruits rouges) à l'achat en magasin ou bien à l'arrivée à la maison, et ce en remplaçant le sac plastique usuel qui n'offre que peu de protection. L'acheteur positionne ses fruits dans l'emballage, par exemple selon un des modes décrits ci-dessus dans un emballage où une bulle de gaz est solidaire d'une des parois interne de l'emballage et ainsi actionnable après avoir scellé pour libérer ce gaz, ou encore en introduisant dans l'emballage en même temps que les fruits une ou des bulles de gaz et en actionnant ces bulles après avoir scellé.
- still for illustrative purposes, housewives often have to prepare several meals every day for the whole family, including a lunch for mid-day (at school or business) or even a dinner for some type This may require a lot of work, often done late at night or very early in the morning. There is therefore the considerable advantage of being able to dispose of such packaging in the refrigerator where for several days the foodstuffs are prepared (peeled, cut, cooked etc ..) and preserved by the actuation of the gas reserve, it is then possible to simply take to school or business the bag or bags considered, for cold consumption or microwave heating, without having to perform a daily exhausting work. The housewife then finds a lot of freedom and peace of mind. - Still for illustrative purposes, we can highlight the interest of the invention to easily protect fragile fruits (eg red berries) at the store purchase or on arrival at home, and this by replacing the common plastic bag that offers little protection. The buyer places his fruit in the packaging, for example according to one of the modes described above in a package where a gas bubble is secured to one of the inner walls of the package and thus actuatable after sealing to release this gas, or by introducing into the package at the same time as the fruit one or gas bubbles and by actuating these bubbles after sealing.
