Problems solved by technology

The challenge in meeting this need is maintaining a balance between providing enough antimicrobial gas in the package headspace to effectively control and / or kill pathogens without "overdosing" the package headspace, which may for example Adversely affect the quality of the product due to sensory degradation

Embodiment 1

[0099] Example 1 - Control of ClO 2 release of gas

[0100] A storage temperature of 7 °C was chosen to reproduce storage temperatures slightly above ideal storage temperatures (or to stimulate unintentional temperature spikes during storage, for example, when refrigeration equipment fails for several hours). In this experiment, a similar Figure 7 Three packages shown. All three of these antimicrobial entrainment polymer film parts are comprised essentially as Figure 7 placement as shown. The membrane is a three-phase entrained polymer membrane that includes an antimicrobial release agent in the form of a powder mixture containing sodium chlorite (to generate chlorine dioxide gas), clay sulfate (as a catalyst), and chlorinated Calcium (as a humidity trigger). This powder mixture is commercially available from BASF under the tradename ASEPTROL and is as described above.

[0101] The formulation of the film itself was a three-phase formulation comprising 50% by weight ...

Embodiment 2

[0105] Example 2 - Geotrichum growth test

[0106] A common cause of poor tomato quality is Geotrichum candidum, a yeast-like mold that grows as white fuzz. In this instance, the sliced ​​tomatoes were intentionally stained with G. The cauliflower is packaged and tested. A storage temperature of 7 °C was chosen to reproduce storage temperatures slightly above ideal storage temperatures (or to stimulate unintentional temperature spikes during storage, for example, when refrigeration equipment fails for several hours).

[0107] Use something like Figure 7 The packaging shown (where the release of ClO 2 antimicrobial film placed toward the top of the packaging) to store contaminated sliced ​​tomatoes. Secondary packaging (same as primary packaging, except without the antimicrobial film) was used to store the contaminated sliced ​​tomatoes. exist Figure 8A with Figure 8B Results are provided on the graphs shown. The results showed conclusively that the antimicrobial f...

Embodiment 3

[0109] Example 3 - Antimicrobial Film Site Test

[0110] An entrained polymer film (X2597 film as described above) was placed in the headspace of the tray at various height locations on the side walls to test the effectiveness of various antimicrobial film locations / locations, and various sampling locations. The abbreviation "MCT" as used herein refers to Maxwell Chase Technologies, LLC of Atlanta, Georgia. The abbreviation "FPT" refers to Maxwell Chase Technologies, LLC's tray.

[0111] The following materials were used in this example:

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] The MCT FPT125D (1 / 4 steam size, dark white polypropylene) tray was modified as follows. Three holes approximately 8.5 mm wide and 2 cm apart were made in the MCTFPT125D tray with an Xacto knife. Clean the edges of the hole, screw the CPC valve into the hole, the O-rings are on both sides, and the compression fitting tightens the 2 rings. Place these two valves with the QDV on the outside of the lid and...

Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for inhibiting or preventing the growth of microbes and / or for killing microbes in a closed package or container in which a good (optionally a food product) is held or stored. The system and method optionally include use of an entrained polymer article, preferably a film, that includes an antimicrobial releasing agent.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is filed under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 421,348, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0003] Background of the invention 1. Technical field [0004] The present invention relates to systems and methods for reducing and preventing the growth of, or killing, microorganisms within the interior space of containers, and / or on products / merchandise stored within packaging. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for reducing and preventing the growth or killing of microorganisms using polymers entrapped with antimicrobial release agents, eg, in food containers. 2. Background technology [0005] There are many items that are preferably stored, transported and / or used in an environment that must be controlled and / or conditioned. For example, in the field of moisture management, it has been recognize...
