PACKAGING COMPRISING A BREATHABLE VALVE FOR PERISHABLE PRODUCTS.

摘要

The invention relates to packaging comprising a breathable valve, intended to extend the green-life of perishable products. The packaging comprises a flexible container (1) and a breathable valve assembly (2) which can be used to control the concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapour and ethylene in the atmosphere inside the container, such as to maintain a desired value depending on the weight and the respiration rate of the product. The breathable valve assembly (2) comprises a ring (3) and a breathable lid (4) assembled in order to close the flexible container (1). The packaging is advantageous over the prior art in that it can be assembled without using any heat sealing technique and in that it can extend the green-life of perishable products, such as fruits and vegetables.
