Abstract
Description

[0002] With the development of packaging technology, and the in-depth study of the oxygen barrier performance of packaging, the current overall shelf life evaluation method of product is mainly to use the environmental test box to carry out light and heat treatment on the sample, but the existing direct treatment test method can only control the light and heat conditions, and cannot control the oxygen permeation amount, so that the final test result is different from the actual shelf life.

[0075] Before formally introducing the present application, the shelf life involved in the background art is briefly introduced as follows.
[0076] Shelf life is the period of time during which a food is stored under recommended conditions to maintain safety; ensure desirable sensory, physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics; retain any nutritional values claimed on the label. It is the period of time during which the food remains fully suitable for sale and meets the quality (attributes) specified on the label or in the product standard; beyond this period, the food is still edible for a certain period of time. Generally, the shelf life of a food depends on four factors, namely, formulation, processing, packaging and storage conditions. Changing any of these can affect the shelf life of the product - either positively or negatively. The shelf life is generally related to factors such as microbiological control, color stability, yeast and mold inhibition, taste stability, texture stability and flavor stability.

As preferred, each parallel group can be replaced simultaneously or in groups, and the replacement flow rate can be set to 10 ml / min, or can be set according to different seal assembly models.
[0110] Third, the test execution sub-step is run, the replacement gas in the replacement sub-cavity is maintained, specifically, the replacement gas is maintained at a constant temperature and pressure until the permeation degree of the packaging 5000 to be tested meets the requirements of the shelf life simulation test. The constant temperature is adjusted by the heating device installed in the second machine box 3000 and the refrigeration device installed in the first machine box 2000. The constant pressure is maintained by adjusting the opening of the gas valve to ensure that the replacement sub-cavity is at a constant pressure. It should be noted that each parallel group can be set to the same pressure or different groups can be set to different pressures to meet different test conditions.
[0111] After the test execution step is completed, the unloading step is run, which includes a pressure unloading sub-step, a temperature unloading sub-step, and a reset sub-step.
[0112] When the pressure unloading sub-step is run, the replacement sub-cavity is depressurized by adjusting the inlet regulating valve 1161 and the exhaust regulating valve.
[0113] When the temperature unloading sub-step is run, the gas in the replacement sub-cavity is purged to stop running when the temperature reaches the set value. For example, the purge flow rate can be set to 10 ml / min, or can be set according to different seal assembly models.
[0114] When the reset sub-step is run, the connecting device 4000 is reset to the empty stroke state. Thus, the control process of the single forced oxidation test system is completed.
[0115] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered within the scope of the present disclosure.
