Functional film, functional container, and method for retaining freshness

Abstract

To obtain a functional film capable of efficiently adsorbing and decomposing ethylene, a functional container, and a method for retaining the freshness of plants or foods. This functional film is obtained by causing a substance having a catalytic ability to decompose ethylene to be contained in, or applied or vapor-deposited on the surface of, a plastic film material having an ethylene-adsorbing effect. This functional container is obtained by causing a substance having a catalytic ability to decompose ethylene to be contained in, or applied or vapor-deposited on the surface of, a plastic material having an ethylene-adsorbing effect. Alternatively, this functional container may be obtained by causing a substance having a catalytic ability to decompose ethylene to be contained in a plasticmaterial having an ethylene-adsorbing effect and molding the plastic material into a prescribed shape, or by applying or vapor-depositing the substance on the surface of the plastic material after molding said plastic material into a prescribed shape. This method for retaining freshness includes a step for adsorbing and decomposing, and/or discharging, the ethylene generated from plants and the like using said functional film or said functional container.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a functional film and a functional container for keeping plants or food (especially fresh ingredients, fruits and vegetables, etc.) fresh (including maintaining the growth of plants), and using the functional film or the functional container to keep plants or food method of freshness. Background technique [0002] Because the technology of maintaining the growth potential of organisms at the individual and tissue levels while keeping fresh can be applied not only to the protection of rare plants, but also to the preservation of vegetable and fruit seedlings when the global food crisis is rampant. important. On the other hand, long-term storage technology for living biological samples is also expected in the fields that contribute to the storage and transportation of decorative cut flowers and other flowers and fungi. But at the same time, although the cryopreservation technology at the cell level of animals and plants...
