Definitions
- Multilayer transparent film in particular for food packaging in a modified atmosphere, and methods of using it
- modified atmosphere packaging for food (MAP) means that a gas of a precisely defined composition is enclosed in the product packaging instead of air, with the aim of extending the shelf life of the product.
- This process corresponds to the so-called CA (Controlled Atmosphere) storage in storage rooms with a controlled, constant gas composition.
- Vegetable products such as fruits, vegetables and salads breathe heavily in the pack. With the rejection of oxygen, they change the metabolism, and fermentation occurs with the corresponding gas formation and destruction of the product. A slowdown in breathing must not result in fermentation, and C0 2 must not accumulate in the pack.
- the choice of packaging materials with regard to permeability plays a decisive role here.
- the shelf life can be doubled in many cases (e.g. from 2 to 3 to 5 to 10 days).
- a special case is peeled potatoes: this product normally rots very quickly - in contrast, the shelf life in the MAP process is 7 to 8 days.
- the most common cause of spoilage of baked goods is the formation of mold and chemical changes. Since the water content is usually very low, the growth of microorganisms is less of a problem. If the baked goods are to be stored at room temperature, the packaging must be selected according to the respective product properties. While baked goods have to be protected against the ingress of moisture by a water vapor barrier, fresh baked goods such as baguettes or rolls require special protection against oxygen.
- a mixture of C0 2 and N 2 is normally used in the MAP packs for fresh baked goods.
- the shelf life is extended from 3 to 5 days to 2 to 3 weeks. Dried products even have a shelf life of one year.
- MAP is also often used in fresh meat and cheese packaging.
- the gases used include carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen, i.e. natural components of the atmosphere, but in a concentrated, suitable and bacteria-free form.
- the gas composition can change not only due to the solubility and diffusion behavior of the gases compared to the packaging film, but also due to the biochemical processes of the product within the packaging.
- Carbon dioxide is the most commonly used gas in MAP technology. It dissolves very well in the product liquid and in the product fat. Its effects are expressed in the inhibition of growth of aerobic microorganisms by the displacement of oxygen; the water solubility leads to a slight pH reduction, which also has a preserving effect.
- C0 2 influences the respiratory metabolism of various microorganisms and inhibits special enzymes of the citric acid cycle, penetrates the cell membrane of microorganisms and has an inhibitory effect by preventing the absorption of water-soluble nutrients. Germ growth and mold growth are delayed under these conditions, the shelf life of the packaged product is extended.
- oxygen forms the basis of many biological processes.
- MAP technology therefore, usually Low oxygen levels are aimed at in order to protect the product from oxidative changes, to inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms and thus to extend the shelf life.
- an oxygen-enriched atmosphere has its justification: For example, in the packaging of raw meat requires a relatively high oxygen concentration in order to obtain the red color of the product surface desired by the consumer. On the other hand, in high concentrations, oxygen has an inhibitory effect on microorganisms.
- a prerequisite for the permanent containment of an atmosphere defined at least with regard to the water vapor and oxygen content is the ability of the film in question to form a barrier against water vapor on the one hand and against oxygen on the other hand.
- Barrier properties play the leading role. Polymers such as PA, PC, APET, CPET, PP, PS, PVC, PVdC, EVOH are most commonly used. PVC and PVdC are often replaced by other packaging materials such as amorphous polyester (APET). Associations with aluminum foil are considered to be an absolute gas barrier. Normally, barrier films for the sealing are laminated or co-extruded with polyethylene (LDPE or HDPE). The sealing foil side is in direct contact with the food.
- LDPE polyethylene
- Thin films and multi-layer wide-slit films are offered as MAP packaging material. Thin films are processed on special machines as shrink bags; Wide-slit films are first thermoformed, the contents are inserted and sealed with a film.
- DE-A-19 503 326 describes flexible, transparent films based on a styrene polymer, in particular for food packaging, and processes for their production.
- the multilayer films described there and the mono films were developed with the aim of ensuring the highest possible oxygen permeability for fresh meat packaging.
- the packaging process has not been specified.
- the invention relates to polymers and their mixtures for the production of a transparent multilayer stretch film with adapted permeability for MAP, in particular for the food packaging sector.

- the new composite material is characterized - preferably as a film and in particular as a slot or chill-roll film - by very high toughness and a good restoring effect ("memory effect"). This reset effect is more pronounced the lower the orientation of the material (due to a high inflation ratio or high take-off speed).
