Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a package of meat products, and more particularly to a package of meat sliced products obtained by slicing beef tongue.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Products packed with meat products have been conventionally provided in various packaging forms. For example, in stores such as supermarkets where the sales volume is large, it is common to prepare and sell a large number of products pre-packaged to about several hundred g, which is a measure of the purchase amount of general consumers, and in this case, Is provided as a packaged product in which a meat product is placed on a styrofoam tray or the like and the whole is simply wrapped and packaged with a polyethylene film or the like. However, such meat packaging products have no particular advantage over the storage period due to the packaging form, and are substantially the same as the packaging form when sold and weighed and sold in a general meat store called a so-called "butcher shop", Even if it is kept refrigerated in the refrigerator of each household, it is at most 2
Only refrigerated for 3 days is possible.

[0003] On the other hand, unlike the above-mentioned daily cooking, the relatively long-term storage for tens of days to several months for gifts of souvenirs, gifts for gifts and souvenirs. Meat packaging products are also known. Typically, in consideration of the problem of spoilage of products such as ham and sausage due to spoilage bacteria, vacuum packing or a packing form further enclosing an oxygen scavenger is employed. In general, preservatives are usually added to products intended for such long-term storage.

[0004]

By the way, there is a packaging form of meat products used for daily cooking of side dishes as described above. On the other hand, there is a packaging form of meat products which can be stored for a relatively long time. Depending on the appropriate packaging format that meets the required task, there is a problem that even if it is suitable for each typical task, it does not necessarily respond to storage requests that deviate from the typical task .

For example, in the former case of a meat product used for daily cooking of side dishes, the meat product placed on a tray is simply wrapped and wrapped so as to be wrapped with a polyethylene film or the like. There is no adhesiveness between the meat and the contents of the meat and the meat, and the meat is loose and the meat often moves and is damaged during handling of the package. In addition, there is a problem that the wrap is remarkably impaired, and since it is contained in air in the wrapping, it is unavoidable that it rots after a while, and due to such a problem, the storage period is at most about 2 to 3 days described above. It has been.

[0006] On the other hand, the latter vacuum packaged product does not have the problem of the storage period as in the simple wrapped package described above. However, vacuum packaging products cannot avoid the problem of increased production costs, and even if they are good for relatively expensive applications such as gifts, they cannot be said to be a suitable packaging form for daily prepared dishes. .

According to the present invention, refrigerated storage (safety of food can be ensured for about one to two weeks, which is longer than the storage period of meat products used for daily prepared food preparation, based on the above-described conventional techniques. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a product that does not require a strict packaging form such as vacuum packaging that requires long-term storage for several months or more while allowing for a long storage period.

Another object of the present invention is to reduce the cost while using a conventional vacuum packaging apparatus without intentionally using packaging materials necessary to secure the state of the vacuum packaging. Relatively short (1 to 1) of the desired meat product
(Approximately two weeks) in a refrigerated storage, specifically, the coloration of the meat is maintained, and the above-mentioned so-called drip is not soaked in the package.

Still another object of the present invention is to make it possible to confirm the shape and contour of the meat product as a content, particularly, the sliced beef tongue with the naked eye of the user, and to prevent the meat juice from seeping out. It is an object of the present invention to provide a meat product package that can maintain the freshness of bitter meat.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a meat product package in which a film covering the tray is easily peeled from a tray constituting the meat product package.

[0011]

The features of the present invention to achieve the above object are as follows. (1) A meat product is placed in a concave portion of a shallow concave plastic tray having no gas barrier property, and a plastic film is coated thereon so as to conform to the surface shape of the meat product and the tray. A package for meat products, wherein the plastic film is adhesively fixed on the upper surface of the concave peripheral edge of the plastic tray so as to hermetically seal the inside and outside. (2) The package for meat products according to the invention (1), wherein the plastic film is an oxygen-permeable film. (3) The meat product package according to the invention (1) or (2), wherein the plastic film is a polyethylene film. (4) The meat product package according to any one of the inventions (1) to (3), wherein the meat product is a sliced beef tongue.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiment 1 Beef tongue slice (meat product) of this example shown in FIGS.
Is a shallow-bottom concave tray 2 made of polystyrene.
A plurality of sliced beef tongues 3 are placed side by side in a concave portion 201 (a state in which sliced pieces are slightly juxtaposed and juxtaposed), and this is packed in a packaging usually used for vacuum-packed products. Machine (Hyman HI-750:
(Manufactured by Hyman Corporation) in a degassing chamber (not shown), and the plastic film 4 is coated on the tray surface while degassing the degassing chamber. The plastic film 4 is closely adhered so as to follow the surface, and the plastic film 4 is kept in its degassed state.
Is adhered to the upper surface 202 of the periphery of the tray, and the inside of the package is hermetically sealed from outside air at the sealing portion. In addition,
The bonding for hermetic sealing can be generally performed by heat sealing. However, this hermetic sealing is performed at the bonding portion, regardless of whether the packaging material of the tray and the film is gas-barrier or not, but rather substantially penetrates bacteria such as spoilage bacteria. However, it is preferable to use a packaging material having a property of permitting the permeation of oxygen. Specifically, a styrene foam having no gas (particularly oxygen) barrier property is preferably used as the tray, and a food material is preferably used as the plastic film 4. A polyolefin film for packaging, preferably a polyethylene film (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, etc.) is preferably used.

The characteristic structure of the package in this embodiment is that the packaging material used is liquid-impermeable, but may be permeable to gas (particularly oxygen). In addition to the advantage that relatively inexpensive packaging materials can be used, it is not necessary to cover the entire package with the plastic film 4 in the packaging form, so that the packaging material is not wasted and the work of the film coating process can be performed. There is an advantage that it is simplified.

And the particularly emphasized advantages of the present invention are:
There are three points.

[0015] The first is that compared with the conventional wrap packaging type, which has a refrigerated storage period of at most about 2 to 3 days,
It allows relatively long refrigerated storage for about two weeks, while it does not require strict packaging such as vacuum packaging when long-term storage for several months or more is required. Equipment can be simplified and the work load can be reduced.

Second, although the vacuum packaging state is not ensured, the sliced beef tongue 3 in which a plurality of the meat products described above are arranged side by side is tightly covered with the tray 2 and the covering film 4. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to secure a packaging state in which drip does not exude.

Thirdly, the shape and contour of the sliced beef tongue can be visually confirmed by the customer, and since there is no oozing of the gravy, the freshness of the beef tongue can be maintained and the customer's willingness to purchase can be maintained. In addition, when an oxygen-permeable tray or film is used, the coloring of meat such as beef tongue can be maintained, and the effect of further increasing the willingness of consumers to purchase is also exerted.

Further, in the package of the present embodiment, since the sealing with the outside is performed only by bonding the plastic film to the upper surface of the tray, the effect that the covering film can be easily peeled from the tray is also exerted. Is done.

[0019]

According to the invention of the present application, it is possible to ensure the safety of food in refrigerated storage for about 1 to 2 weeks, which is longer than the use for daily cooking of side dishes,
There is an effect that a product that does not require a strict packaging form such as a vacuum packaging that requires long-term storage for several months or more can be provided.

Further, since packaging materials necessary for ensuring the state of vacuum packaging are not used, costs can be reduced, and desirable refrigerated storage for a relatively short time (about 1 to 2 weeks), specifically, meat storage There is an effect that it is possible to provide a package of a meat product in which the coloring is maintained and a packaging state in which drip does not exude can be ensured.

Furthermore, in particular, the shape and outline of the sliced beef tongue can be visually confirmed by the customer, and since the meat juice does not seep out, the freshness of the beef tongue can be maintained and the customer's willingness to purchase can be maintained. This has the effect of being tempered.

Further, there is an effect that the covering film can be easily peeled off from the tray constituting the meat product package.
