Fleisch, Obst, Gemüse, Brot oder dergleichen bei unsachgemäßer Lagerung relativ schnell abnimmt.It is known that the freshness of many foods such. B. meat, fruit, Vegetables, bread or the like decreases relatively quickly when improperly stored.

Es sind deshalb Behältnisse entwickelt worden, die dem Zweck dienen sollen, den Frischezustand von Lebensmitteln bei der Aufbewahrung in diesen Behältnissen über einen längeren Zeitraum einigermaßen aufrecht zu erhalten. Soweit es sich hierbei um Behältnisse handelt, die ein Endverbraucher im eigenen Haushalt benutzt, um frisch eingekaufte Lebensmittel aufzubewahren, sind diesbezüglich zweifellos auch schon gewisse Fortschritte erzielt worden, eine deutliche Verbesserung der Frischhaltung von Lebensmitteln über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg ist aber nach wie vor äußerst wünschenswert. Containers have therefore been developed to serve the purpose that Food freshness when stored in these containers to be reasonably maintained over a longer period of time. As far as it is these are containers that an end user uses in his own household, to keep freshly bought groceries is unquestionable in this regard Some progress has already been made, a significant improvement but keeping food fresh for a longer period of time still extremely desirable.

In der Lebensmittelindustrie wird innerhalb von Behältnissen, in denen frische Lebensmittel zum Verkauf angeboten werden, durch das Einfüllen von gasförmigen, lebensmmittelunbedenklichen Frischhaltemitteln wie z. B. CO2, eine modifizierte Atmosphäre geschaffen, innerhalb derer Lebensmittel tatsächlich über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg frisch gehalten werden können.In the food industry, inside containers in which fresh food is offered for sale, by filling in gaseous, food-safe food preservatives such as. B. CO 2 , created a modified atmosphere within which food can actually be kept fresh over a longer period of time.

Die entsprechenden Gase werden beim Verpackungsprozeß in das Behältnis eingebracht, was natürlich bei Verpackungen, die ein Endverbraucher in seinem Haushalt verwendet, praktisch nicht möglich ist.The corresponding gases are introduced into the container during the packaging process, which of course applies to packaging that an end user has in his household used, is practically not possible.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Behältnis der gattungsgemäßen Art aufzuzeigen, welches auf einfachste Art und Weise eine Verbesserung der Frischhaltung von Lebensmitteln ermöglicht und problemlos in jedem Haushalt verwendbar ist.The present invention has for its object a container of the generic type Way to show which is the easiest way to improve keeping food fresh and easy in everyone Household is usable.
