Method for production of preserved flower, and processing solution for use in the method

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for producing a preserved flower, which enables to keep the original color of a real flower, particularly the subtle gradation in color of the real flower. Also disclosed is a processing solution for use in the method. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing a preserved flower, which comprises immersing a real flower in a processing solution and drying the flower, wherein the processing solution comprises a solution or dispersion containing at least one component selected from a natural oil material oil, a natural resin material, a siloxane, a synthetic resin, a water-addition-reaction-type urethane, a fatty acid ester and a surfactant, wherein the natural oil material is terpin oil, stand oil, whale oil, boiled oil, linseed oil, camellia oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, a salad oil (a purified plant oil), sesame oil, camphor oil or the like, wherein the natural resin material is rosin, glue, wax, bees wax, rubber, rhus lacquer or the like, and wherein the fatty acid ester is an ester of a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid such as lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and myristic acid and a lower or polyhydric alcohol.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a preserved flower, and more particularly, to a method for producing a preserved flower that retains the color of the flower, a processing liquid used in the method, and a preserved flower produced thereby. Background technique [0002] Recently, processed flowers called preserved flowers have attracted attention. Preserved flowers refer to cut flowers such as roses and carnations, which can be kept in a state similar to fresh flowers by replacing the water in their tissues with a preservation solution, that is, tissue fluid, and are widely used in wedding bouquets and flower arrangements. [0003] The inventors of the present invention have also conducted repeated studies on the production method of the preserved flower, for example, proposed a production method of the preserved flower by immersing the fresh flower in alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and dehydrating the interstitia...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In this method, although the preservation of processed flowers, that is, preserved flowers, can be realized, the color of the original flowers is also taken off during the dehydration process of the interstitial fluid, and the coloring has to be carried out in the process of replacing it with the preservation solution, and the natural flowers cannot be preserved as they are. the color of the flower

Therefore, for example, for roses having two color hues of red and yellow, it is difficult to produce preserved flowers thereof.

[0005] Since then, various proposals have been made for the production method of this preserved flower (for example, Patent Documents 2 to 5), but so far, it has not been successful to produce preserved flowers that retain the color of the flower as it is.
