METHOD FOR CIRCULATING VEGETABLE AND FRUIT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for circulating vegetables and fruits for sustaining an appropriate MA (Modified Atmosphere) condition even when a cold chain stops and controlling lowering of freshness in a circulation process.

SOLUTION: This method for circulating vegetables and fruits comprises circulating through seal-packaging using a packaging body. The packaging body has 1-10% both of equilibrium oxygen concentration therein C15(%) at 15°C when seal-packaging vegetables and fruits in the atmosphere, and equilibrium oxygen concentration therein C5(%) at 5°C when seal-packaging vegetables and fruits in the atmosphere. The ratio of the equilibrium oxygen concentration of C5/C15is in the range of 1-5. The substantial environmental temperature of circulation is 0-10°C.
