Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bottle-packed shiitake mushroom. [Background technology]

[0002] Nametake mushrooms, which are made by removing the stems of Enoki mushrooms from the stalks, cutting them to the required length, and then cooking them with soy sauce, mirin, sake, salt, etc., have long been familiar to the Japanese diet. Such nametake mushrooms are often distributed bottled in glass containers (glass bottles). Patent Document 1 (JP Patent Publication 2000-335540 A) discloses an example of the structure of a bottle-shaped container that allows nametake mushrooms to be easily removed.

[0003] In Patent Document 1, the height dimension of the container body, the ratio of the height of the container body to the major axis of the body, and the ratio of the height of the container body to the minor axis of the body are optimized to make it easier to take out the bottled nametake mushrooms with a spoon. This makes it easy to take out the nametake mushrooms from the container body without compromising the image of traditional nametake mushrooms (in glass containers).

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-335540 A (Claim 1, Claim 2, Figure 1, Figures 3-5, etc.) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The bottle-shaped container disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a glass container, so there is a risk of the container being damaged during handling or distribution, and there is room for improvement. In addition, a spoon is required to remove the nametake mushrooms from the container body, which is cumbersome. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and has the following objectives: To provide a bottle-packed mushroom container made of synthetic resin that can prevent damage to the container during handling or distribution, and that allows the processed mushroom food to be easily taken out without using a spoon.

[0007] As a result of intensive research by the inventors to solve the above problems, the inventors have come up with the following configuration: That is, the present invention is a bottle-filled Nametake mushroom, which is filled in a synthetic resin bottle with a cap and is poured out from a spout formed in the cap, the cap has an opening diameter of 16.2 to 25.0 mm at the spout and has a lid body that opens and closes the spout, and the viscosity of the processed mushroom food measured with a Bostwick viscometer is looser than 70 mm / 30 seconds at a product temperature of 20°C.

[0008] This makes it possible to prevent damage to the container during handling and distribution, and also makes it possible to easily remove the nametake mushrooms without using a spoon. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the configuration of the present invention, by filling a synthetic resin bottle with a predetermined blend of nametake mushrooms, it is possible to prevent damage to the container during handling or distribution, and to provide a bottle-filled nametake mushroom that can be easily removed without using a spoon.

[Figure 4] 2 is a front view of a bottle-filled nametake mushroom, in which nametake mushrooms are filled in a synthetic resin bottle with a cap shown in FIG. 1. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the synthetic resin bottle 100 with a cap in this embodiment has a synthetic resin bottle body 110 and a synthetic resin cap 120 attached to the bottle body 110. In this embodiment, both the synthetic resin bottle body 110 and the cap 120 are made of polyethylene, but are not limited to these synthetic resins. The bottle body 110 is formed as a self-supporting hollow body with a bottom and an opening (not shown) on the top surface. The cap 120 is detachably attached to the opening of the bottle body 110 by a known method such as fitting. The bottle body 110 and the cap 120 can also be detachably attached by screwing a male screw portion formed on the opening of the bottle body 110 into a female screw portion formed on the cap 120.

[0012] The cap 120 has a cap body 122 with a spout 121 that communicates with the opening of the bottle body 110, and a lid 123 that opens and closes the spout 121. The spout 121 has an opening diameter of 16.2 to 25.0 mm, and a pull-top type plug 124 is provided on the spout 121. The capped synthetic resin bottle 100 (bottle filled mushroom 300, described later) can be opened by peeling off the sealing film (neither of which is shown) attached to the opening of the bottle body 110 and separating the plug 124 from the spout 121. A wall 125 is erected on the spout 121 along the outer periphery of the spout 121. The wall 125 is formed into a curved inclined surface 125A that gradually curves and expands in diameter so that the required height range of the upper end of the spout 121 gradually becomes convex downward in the radial outward direction. The upper end of the wall 125 has a high upper end 125B and a low upper end 125C. The low upper end 125C is disposed on the hinge portion 126 side, and the high upper end 125B is disposed in a planar position facing the low upper end 125C. This makes it possible to prevent the filler, shiitake mushroom 200, from dripping from the spout 121 after the filler, shiitake mushroom 200, is poured out.

[0013] The lid 123 is integrally formed with the cap body 122 in a state in which it can move toward and away from the cap body 122 via the hinge 126. After the stopper 124 is separated from the spout 121, the lid 123 can close the spout 121. This can prevent the shiitake mushroom 200, which is the content of the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 (bottle body 110), from coming into contact with the air, and can prevent the shiitake mushroom 200 filled in the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 from drying out. In addition, the lid 123 is formed with an upright piece 123A formed with an outer diameter dimension equal to the inner diameter dimension at the mid-height position of the wall 125. When the spout 121 is closed by the lid 123, the upright piece 123A comes into contact with the wall 125, and even if the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 is in a horizontal position, the shiitake mushroom 200 can be prevented from spilling out.

[0014] 4 is a front view of a bottle-filled shiitake mushroom 300 in which the shiitake mushroom 200 is filled in the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 formed as described above. When filling the shiitake mushroom 200 into the capped synthetic resin bottle 100, it can be filled by a known method from the opening of the bottle main body 110. After a predetermined amount of shiitake mushroom 200 is filled into the bottle main body 110, the opening is sealed with a sealing film, and then the cap 120 is attached to the opening of the bottle main body 110, and then a packaging film F is attached to the capped synthetic resin bottle 100.

[0015] The Nametake mushroom 200 as a processed mushroom food is prepared by mixing a predetermined amount of Enoki mushrooms cut to a predetermined length with a predetermined seasoning, and then heating to remove moisture, to prepare a fluid having a predetermined viscosity (viscosity). A specific manufacturing method of the Nametake mushroom 200 is publicly known, so a detailed description is omitted here. The viscosity of the Nametake mushroom 200 in this embodiment is looser than 70 mm / 30 seconds (lower than 70 mm / 30 seconds) when measured with a Bostwick viscometer in a product temperature range of 5 to 20°C. Since the measured value with the Bostwick viscometer in a temperature range from refrigeration (5°C) to room temperature (20°C) exceeds 70 mm / 30 seconds, the Nametake mushroom 200 can be easily taken out even immediately after the bottle-filled Nametake mushroom 300 is taken out of the refrigerator. It is also advantageous in that it can prevent the nametake mushroom 200 from flowing out more than necessary from the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 even at room temperature.

[0016] The applicant conducted experiment 1 to confirm the physical properties according to the solid amount of the Nametake mushroom 200 filled in the synthetic resin bottle 100 with the cap described above. Specifically, the Nametake mushroom 200 of a plurality of blends was filled in the same bottle body 110, and the viscosity measurement value (Bostwick viscosity) was measured three times at room temperature (20°C) using a Bostwick viscometer (75g for 30 seconds). In addition, the applicant also recorded the ease of removing the Nametake mushroom 200 from the bottle body 110 when putting the Nametake mushroom 200 into the Bostwick viscometer in experiment 1. In this embodiment, the applicant conducted experiment 1 for the Nametake mushroom 200 of four blends (blendings A to D). Table 1 summarizes the results of experiment 1.

[0017] [Table 1]

[0018] From Table 1, it can be seen that the Nametake mushrooms 200 of Blend B (50% solids), Blend C (45% solids), and Blend D (30% solids) could be removed without applying force to the bottle body 110. From the results of Experiment 1, the optimum blend of Nametake mushrooms 200 to be filled in the bottle body 110 (synthetic resin bottle 100 with cap) is Blend C (45% solids). It can also be said that the Blend B (50% solids) and Blend D (30% solids) of Nametake mushrooms 200 can be selected appropriately according to the texture preference.

[0019] Next, the applicant conducted Experiment 2 to confirm the viscosity of Nametake 200 with Blend C (45% solids), which is optimal for the bottle main body 110 (synthetic resin bottle 100 with cap) in this embodiment in Experiment 1, at room temperature (20°C) and refrigerated temperature (5°C). Specifically, the viscosity of Nametake 200 was measured three times using a Bostwick viscometer in the same manner as in Experiment 1. As a comparison for Experiment 2, the applicant also performed the same measurement on the Nametake 200 with Blend C (45% solids) for its own conventional product (65% solids). Table 2 summarizes the measurement results of Experiment 2.

[0020] [Table 2]

[0021] From Table 2, the measured value of Bostwick viscosity of the Nametake mushroom 200 with blend C (solid content 45%) exceeds 70 mm at both room temperature and refrigerated temperature zones. In contrast, the measured value of Bostwick viscosity of the company's conventional product is less than half of the measured value of blend C at both room temperature and refrigerated temperature zones. Usually, the bottle-filled Nametake mushroom 300 is stored at room temperature before opening, but it is desirable to store it in a refrigerator after opening. From the results of Table 2, it can be said that the Nametake mushroom 200 with blend C (solid content 45%) in this embodiment can be very easily removed from the bottle main body 110 (synthetic resin bottle 100 with cap) at both room temperature and refrigerated temperature zones. Thus, according to the bottle-filled nametake 300 of this embodiment, when removing nametake 200 from the capped synthetic resin bottle 100, there is no need to use a spoon or the like as in conventional products; it is sufficient to simply tilt the spout 121 of the bottle main body 110 downward.

[0022] Next, the applicant conducted experiment 3 to compare the size of the opening of the cap 120 attached to the synthetic resin bottle 100 with the amount of the Nametake mushroom 200 taken out from the synthetic resin bottle 100 with the cap. In experiment 3, the amount of Nametake mushroom 200 filled into the synthetic resin bottle 100 with the cap was set to 160 g, and the mass of the Nametake mushroom 200 flowing out from the spout 121 in three seconds was measured three times with the spout 121 facing downward at an angle of 45 degrees to the vertical axis. Table 3 summarizes the three measurements in experiment 3 and the average of the three measurements. In experiment 3, the measurements were performed with the same dimensions as the opening diameter dimension of the spout 121 in the general-purpose cap 120. [Table 3]

[0023] From Table 3, the flow rate is convenient when the opening diameter of the spout 121 of the cap 120 is 16.2 mm and 25.0 mm in both temperature zones, room temperature and refrigeration. In experiment 3, when the opening diameter is 14.0 mm, the amount of the Nametake mushroom 200 taken out is too small, and when the opening diameter is 25.0 mm, the amount of the Nametake mushroom 200 taken out is too large, so it can be said that the opening diameter of 16.2 mm is the most convenient. In experiment 3, when the opening diameter is 25.0 mm, the flow rate of the Nametake mushroom 200 during refrigeration approaches 160 g, which is the amount of Nametake mushroom 200 filled into the synthetic resin bottle 100 with a cap, so the opening diameter of the experimental subject is set to 25.0 mm as the upper limit.

[0024] Next, the applicant conducted experiment 4 to determine the optimal angle for removing the nametake mushroom 200 from the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 using the cap 120 with the spout 121 opening diameter (diameter dimension) of 16.2 mm, which is considered to be the most convenient in Table 3. In experiment 4, a bottle-filled nametake mushroom 300 equipped with a cap 120 formed with a spout 121 with an opening diameter of 16.2 mm was used, and the mass of the nametake mushroom 200 that flowed out of the spout 121 in three seconds was measured three times with the lid 123 open and the spout 121 facing downward. Table 4 summarizes the inclination angle of the central axis of the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 with respect to the vertical axis and the results of experiment 4. [Table 4]

[0025] From Table 4, the measurement values ​​for inclination angles of 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees are good. Among these, an inclination angle of 45 degrees is considered optimal. The experimental results for an inclination angle of 75 degrees vary widely, and the average measurement value is also a single digit number, so it is not included in the good results. The experimental results for an inclination angle of 90 degrees include 0.0 in the measurement values, and the average measurement value is also a single digit number, so it is not included in the good results.

[0026] Next, the applicant adopted the optimal conditions in Tables 3 and 4, and conducted Experiment 5 to compare the amount of Nametake 200 taken out from the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 using the bottle-filled Nametake 300 in a stationary state and a shaking state at room temperature and refrigerated temperature zones. Specifically, a bottle-filled Nametake 300 equipped with a cap 120 having a spout 121 with a diameter dimension of 16.2 mm was used, and the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 with the lid body 123 opened was tilted at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the vertical axis, with the spout 121 facing downward. The mass measurement of the amount of Nametake 200 flowing out from the spout 121 while this state was maintained for 3 seconds was performed five times. Table 5 summarizes the experimental results corresponding to the state (stationary state and shaking state) immediately before Experiment 5 of the bottle-filled Nametake 300. [Table 5]

[0027] From Table 5, the amount of the Nametake mushroom 200 taken out from the capped synthetic resin bottle 100 was good regardless of whether the temperature range was room temperature or refrigerated, and whether the bottle was stationary or shaken. From the results of this experiment, it can be said that the difference in temperature range or the difference in the state of the bottle-filled Nametake mushroom 300 before the experiment does not have a significant effect on the amount of the Nametake mushroom 200 taken out from the capped synthetic resin bottle 100.

[0028] As is clear from the above experimental results, in a synthetic resin bottle 100 with a cap, which has a synthetic resin bottle body 110 and a cap 120 attached to the bottle body 110, the opening diameter of the spout 121 of the cap 120 is 16.2 to 25.0 mm. Also, a lid 123 is provided to open and close the spout 121. And, the viscosity of the nametake mushroom 200 filled in the synthetic resin bottle 100 with a cap, measured by a Bostwick viscometer, is less than 70 mm / 30 seconds at a product temperature range of 5°C to 20°C. By making the bottle-filled nametake mushroom 300 satisfy these requirements, the mass of the synthetic resin bottle 100 with a cap relative to the mass of the nametake mushroom 200, which is the content filled in the bottle body 110, can be significantly lighter than the mass of a glass container, and there is no risk of the container being damaged during handling or distribution. In addition, the nametake mushroom 200 filled in the bottle body 110 can be easily removed from the spout 121, making it easy to use in that there is no need to prepare a spoon or the like.

[0029] Although the bottle-filled shiitake mushroom 300 has been described above based on an embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the cap 120 has a lid 123 that opens and closes the spout 121 formed integrally with the cap body 122, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. It is also possible to adopt a lid 123 that is formed separately from the cap body 122 and is detachable from the cap body 122.

[0030] In addition, in the above embodiment, the cap 120 is exemplified as having a pull-top type plug 124 provided at the spout 121, but the present invention is not limited to this. If the opening of the bottle body 110 is sealed with a sealing film, the provision of the plug 124 at the spout 121 can be omitted.

[0031] In addition, in the above embodiment, the spout 121 of the cap 120 has a wall 125 that is erected and has a high upper end 125B and a low upper end 125C whose inner surface is formed into a curved inclined surface 125A, but the present invention is not limited to this form. The spout 121 of the cap 120 may also be formed into a simple cylindrical form.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the lid body 123 is provided with an upright piece 123A formed with an outer diameter dimension equal to the inner diameter dimension at the mid-height position of the wall body 125, but it is also possible to adopt a form in which the arrangement of the upright piece 123A on the lid body 123 is omitted.

[0033] In addition to the modified examples described above, it is also possible to adopt a form in which the modified examples described in the embodiment are appropriately combined. [Explanation of symbols]
