Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to the technical field of frozen ready-made meals.
  • the present invention relates to a packaged frozen ready-made meal, suitable for heating in a microwave oven, comprising at least two food products intended to come into contact with one another at the time of consumption.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for the production of the frozen ready-made meal of the invention.
  • Such products are usually referred to as “ready-made meals” or “ready to heat”, “heat and go”, “ready meal”, etc.
  • Such products are particularly suitable for meeting the needs of those who wish to eat a hot meal outside the home, such as for example at the workplace, and in general in places where there is no access to the use of a well-equipped kitchen. Such products are also suitable for home use in all those circumstances in which there is not the time, nor the possibility, of cooking a hot meal in a conventional manner.
  • first course meals based on two food components: a main component, generally cereal-based, such as pasta or rice, mixed or to be mixed with a condiment, generally of a liquid or semi-liquid consistency.
  • a main component generally cereal-based, such as pasta or rice
  • a condiment generally of a liquid or semi-liquid consistency.
  • ready-made meals can for example consist of pasta, rice, filled pasta, gnocchi , cereal grains, and a sauce as a condiment.
  • This solution has the drawback, however, of producing a meal which is often disappointing from an organoleptic point of view, because the prolonged contact between the various components of the product during production of the ready-made meal and during its subsequent thawing and heating causes migration of the water from one component to the other, which causes a deterioration in its texture and flavour.
  • the product may be unevenly heated, with certain parts of the product which are overcooked or too dry or even burnt, having been exposed to heat for an excessively long time, and with other parts having been exposed for too short a time, for example the innermost parts, which are still cold and in certain cases even still frozen at the time of consumption.
  • the document JP 8332040 (Kiyuusai KK) describes packaged frozen noodles wherein a receptacle contains frozen noodles, (separately) packaged crushed ice, a (separately) concentrated and packaged sauce and a (separately) packaged condiment.
  • a receptacle contains frozen noodles, (separately) packaged crushed ice, a (separately) concentrated and packaged sauce and a (separately) packaged condiment.
  • sauce and condiment have to be removed from the receptacle and the receptacle with the noodles is then placed in a microwave oven until the noodles are heated.
  • the receptacle is then removed from the oven, the ice is added to the noodles and mixing is performed to melt the ice.
  • the sauce and condiment are then added and the noodles are cooked.
  • a packaged frozen ready-made meal comprising a flared receptacle made of rigid material permeable to microwaves, containing a first frozen food component, at the bottom, a second frozen food component having a substantially plate-like shape, having a substantially fluid consistency at a temperature above 0°C, and a closure element, characterised in that said second frozen food component having a substantially plate-like shape engages in the manner of a plug with the internal wall of said receptacle, spaced apart from said first frozen food component.
  • Such flared receptacle is preferably substantially cup-shaped.
  • Such flared receptacle is preferably tapered.
  • the flared receptacle has an overturned truncated conical shape and the second frozen food component having a substantially plate-like shape is discoidal in shape.
  • the first food component is preferably a cereal-based frozen food chosen from the group consisting of: pasta, rice, spelt, barley, filled pasta, gnocchi, vegetables, preferably pasta.
  • the second food component is preferably a tomato-, cheese-, oil-, béchamel-based condiment, optionally containing meat or fish, or the like, preferably tomato-based.
  • the packaged frozen ready-made meal comprises at the bottom of the abovementioned receptacle a predetermined quantity of ice or frozen aqueous solution, generally 5% or lower based on the total weight of said first and second food components.
  • Such aqueous solution can consist of a sodium chloride solution at a concentration of 1-2% in weight over volume.
  • the receptacle preferably consists of a rigid plastic material suitable for use in a microwave oven and permeable to microwaves.
  • the closure element comprises a film of plastic material sealed on the edges of the receptacle. Such film is preferably provided with perforations of adequate size for allowing the release of the steam generated during heating, when it exceeds a predetermined pressure, above atmospheric pressure.
  • the holes of the closure film generally have a diameter of 0.2-0.4 mm and are found in a number comprised between 50 and 100, preferably arranged in parallel rows.
  • a controlled maintenance of a slight excess pressure inside the receptacle accelerates the heating of the foods contained therein.
  • the closure element may further comprise a lid, also made of a rigid plastic material.
  • the abovementioned plastic material is preferably chosen from the group comprising polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • PP polypropylene
  • PE polyethylene
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the closure element is preferably made of the same material as the receptacle.
  • the abovementioned closure film preferably consists of coupled PP/PET, the side of the film facing the exterior of the packaged frozen ready-made meal consisting of PET.
  • the closure film can also consist of a PE-based multilayer film, containing a layer having oxygen barrier properties.
  • the material which makes up the gas barrier layer can be chosen from the group comprising polymers and copolymers of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), nylon, polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), poly or copolyamides and their combinations, oxides of metals/silicon.
  • EVOH ethylene vinyl alcohol
  • PVDC polyvinylidene chloride
  • the abovementioned material is preferably a polymer or copolymer of ethylene vinyl alcohol or nylon.
  • the holes in the closure film are closed by a barrier label or barrier lacquer and they open up during heating thanks to the temperature and the pressure, allowing the release of steam.
  • the packaged frozen ready-made meal according to the present invention further comprises a rigid cardboard container intended to receive and contain the abovementioned flared receptacle with such clearance as to create an interspace between the container and the receptacle, at the respective lateral walls and optionally also at the respective bottoms.
  • a rigid cardboard container intended to receive and contain the abovementioned flared receptacle with such clearance as to create an interspace between the container and the receptacle, at the respective lateral walls and optionally also at the respective bottoms.
  • the aforementioned closure element comprises, in addition to the closure film, also a lid of rigid plastic material, above all when such lid is placed above the closure film spaced apart therefrom, so as to create an interspace.
  • the abovementioned lid exhibits on its outer upper surface a recess of circular shape suitable for receiving, once it has been removed, by press fit engagement, the bottom of the external cardboard container of the packaged frozen ready-made meal, thus constituting a convenient support stand for such container.
  • the packaged frozen ready-made meal according to the invention preferably comprises a quantity of the two food components suitable for forming a single-portion ready-made meal.
  • the present invention moreover refers to a method for the production of the packaged ready-made meal of the invention which comprises the steps of:
  • flared receptacle is substantially cup-shaped.
  • the flared receptacle has an overturned truncated conical shape and the second frozen food component having a substantially plate-like shape is discoidal.
  • the first food component is preferably a cereal-based food chosen from the group consisting of: pasta, rice, spelt, barley, filled pasta, gnocchi, vegetables, preferably pasta, and may be ready-frozen.
  • the second food component is preferably a tomato-, cheese-, oil-, bechamel-based condiment, optionally containing meat or fish, or the like, preferably tomato-based.
  • the method comprises an additional step of introduction of a predetermined quantity of water or of an aqueous solution inside said flared receptacle before performing the abovementioned step a).
  • the quantity of water or of aqueous solution is preferably 5% or lower based on the total weight of' said first and second food components.
  • Such aqueous solution preferably consists of a sodium chloride solution at a concentration of 1-2% in weight over volume.
  • the method preferably uses a receptacle consisting of a rigid plastic material suitable for use in a microwave oven and permeable to microwaves.
  • the quantity of the two food components is preferably suitable for forming a single-portion ready-made meal.
  • reference numeral 1 identifies the overall packaged ready-made meal according to an embodiment.
  • the receptacle 2 is of the type suitable for being used in a microwave oven and is provided with a closure element 3, consisting of a closure film 31 provided with perforations 32 and a lid 33, preferably of the same material as the receptacle.
  • the materials used for making the receptacle 2 and the closure element 3 are all specifically permeable to microwaves and suitable for being exposed to the microwaves without spoiling the organoleptic qualities of the food products with which they come into contact. More particularly they are preferably made with plastic materials suitable for use in a microwave oven, for example polypropylene.
  • the receptacle is rigid and flared and may be substantially cup-shaped. According to a preferred embodiment, shown in the drawings, the receptacle 2 has an overturned truncated conical shape and rests on its base 4, which corresponds to the smaller base of the truncated conical frustum. In this embodiment the receptacle is tapered along the entire lateral wall 5.
  • the first food component 6, which, according to a preferred embodiment, consists of a portion of pasta. Such pasta is partially cooked and unseasoned and may have been frozen in a loose state.
  • the second food component having a plate-like shape can also have other shapes, provided they are suitable for enabling a spacing apart from the first food component contained in the receptacle; for example, if a receptacle having an oval cross section is used, the second food component having a plate-like shape will also conveniently be oval-shaped.
  • both food components 6 and 7 heat up.
  • the first component 6, below heats up rapidly and evenly by virtue of its relatively large surface of exposure to the microwaves.
  • the second component 7, engaged with the internal lateral surface in the manner of a plug passes from the solid state to the fluid state as it heats up, thus losing its engagement with such surface and sliding by gravity towards the base of the receptacle, and consequently onto the first component.
  • the first 6 and the second 7 food components have all their respective external surfaces exposed to the microwaves. Thanks to this expedient, the heating time is optimised and the heating is therefore even and satisfactory.
  • the reduction in the heating time and the evenness in heating result in a better preservation of the consistency of' the end product ready for consumption compared to the prior art, as no part of the food components is subjected to excessive and inadequate heat treatment and, at the same time, it does not occur that there are cold areas left when other areas have already been excessively heated.
  • the heating will not spoil, therefore, the original organoleptic properties of the components which will be optimal and thus, for example, the pasta will be "al dente" and the rice will have the desired texture.
  • the two food components will then come into contact at a fairly advanced stage of the heating, when the second component is thawed and in the fluid state.
  • the first food component for example the pasta
  • the second component for example a tomato-based sauce
  • the food components do not come into contact one with the other throughout the entire production and storage time of the packaged ready-made meal and for most of its heating time.
  • the second food component 7 is held in engagement with the internal wall of the receptacle thanks to the conicity of the same.
  • the internal wall of the receptacle thanks to the conicity of the same.
  • a sharp variation in the section can be made, at a point of the vertical axis, such that the variation in section forms a horizontal support, at the borders, for the second plate-like food component.
  • Effective engaging with the internal wall of the receptacle can be obtained also, for example, with the creation of protrusions on the same.
  • the receptacle contains, additionally, on the bottom, a layer of ice or of frozen aqueous solution.
  • the frozen aqueous solution, or ice in fact, during heating, generates water vapour which pervades the receptacle, transporting heat and moisture through the first and the second food component.
  • cooking is achieved in a steam atmosphere which is considerably more effective and faster in bringing the food components 6 and 7 to the desired temperature.
  • this cooking method allows a more even result to be obtained in shorter times, and helps prevent the formation of excessively dry areas, typical, at times, of microwave cooking.
  • the generation of steam from the ice or from the frozen solution which is found on the bottom of the receptacle compensates the evaporation of water from the food components contained in the receptacle and reduces general drying of the latter.
  • the packaged ready-made meal comprises a rigid receptacle 2, for example in polypropylene, having an overturned truncated conical shape with a bottom 4 and an opposite opening, bordered by an edge 8.
  • the edge 8 of the opening is folded outwards in a U shape so as to form a perimetrical flanging 9 and an underlying perimetrical grooving 10.
  • the packaged ready-made meal also comprises a container 11, for example of cardboard, having an overturned truncated conical shape, having a bottom 12 and an opposite opening bordered by an edge 13; the container 11 receives in its interior the receptacle 2, which remains suitably centred and positioned thanks to the engaging of the edge 13 of the container 11 to the perimetrical grooving 10 of the receptacle 2 and thanks to the protrusions 81 of the folded edge 8 of the receptacle 2.
  • a container 11 for example of cardboard, having an overturned truncated conical shape, having a bottom 12 and an opposite opening bordered by an edge 13; the container 11 receives in its interior the receptacle 2, which remains suitably centred and positioned thanks to the engaging of the edge 13 of the container 11 to the perimetrical grooving 10 of the receptacle 2 and thanks to the protrusions 81 of the folded edge 8 of the receptacle 2.
  • the receptacle 2 must in fact be introduced in the container 11 by exerting a slight pressure in such a way that the protrusions 81 pass beyond the edge 13 of the container 11 and then engage it, thus preventing separation of the container 11 from the receptacle unless a certain force is applied.
  • the closure element 3 of the packaged ready-made meal comprises a film 31, for example of coupled PP/PET, provided with perforations 32, sealed on the flanging 9 of the edge 8 of the receptacle. It also comprises a lid 33, made for example of the same material as the receptacle 2 and having on its upper surface a circular recess 34, having a diameter substantially corresponding - in practice slightly greater - to the diameter of the bottom 12 of the container 11. The lid 33 is placed on the opening of the receptacle 2 with a light pressure, so as to engage the folded edge 8 of such receptacle.
  • Engaging is ensured thanks to a series of protrusions 35 arranged on the internal surface of the edge 36 of the lid 33, near its free rim, which, once pressed beyond the folded edge 8 of the receptacle 2, engage it and retain it firmly in position.
  • the lid 3 thanks to the presence of the circular recess 34, once removed from the packaged ready-made meal ready for use, can receive, by press fit engagement, the bottom 12 of the container 11, so as to form a support stand for such container.
  • the packaged ready-made meal according to the invention has the advantage of allowing a convenient and easy preparation of the ready-made meal. In fact, for its preparation for consumption by the end consumer, it is not necessary to use any kitchen tool or piece of crockery, just as it is not necessary to perform any step of decanting, transferring or mixing, before or during its heating in the oven.
  • the end consumer in fact is only required to introduce the packaged ready-made meal as it is in the microwave oven, at a power setting between for example 750 and 1800 W, for a time comprised between 2 and 6 minutes.
  • the consumer may open the packaged ready-made meal and consume the ready-made meal directly, for example, with a fork, straight from the receptacle, after optionally mixing, if desired.
  • Another advantageous feature of the present invention is given by the fact that, by virtue of the special positioning of the second component in relation to the first, it is possible to detect any interruption of the cold chain which the packaged ready-made meal may have undergone during its storage and transport In fact, if it were to be detected, at the time of' purchase or of final preparation, that the second component is resting on the first component, this would be clear indication of the fact that the second component has undergone unexpected thawing.
  • the receptacle of the present invention in fact, has a simple shape and, for the purposes of the invention, there is no need for any grooving, ribbing, partitioning or other similar means, as instead adopted in many cases by the prior art. Therefore the receptacle and the external container of' the packaging according to the present invention are economical to produce and easily stackable and therefore convenient for industrial use
  • a rigid receptacle 2 in polypropylene was set up having an overturned truncated conical shape and a bottom 75 mm in diameter, an opening 105 mm in diameter, and 95 mm in height.
  • the edge 8 of the opening is folded outwards in a U shape so as to create a perimetrical flanging 9 and an underlying perimetrical grooving 10.
  • the maximum diameter at the flanging 9 is of about 115 mm.
  • a tomato-based sauce was prepared, comprising the following ingredients, in weight percentages based on the total weight of the sauce: Tomato pulp 83 Double concentrated tomato paste 6 Onion 3.5 Extra-virgin olive oil 3.5 Salt 1.25 Garlic 1.33 Chilli pepper 0.12 Parsley 1.3
  • Such sauce was then frozen in disc shapes 95 mm in diameter and about 10 mm thick, and 120g in weight.
  • the disc remained engaged with the wall of the surface of the receptacle in the manner of a plug, spaced apart from the pasta.
  • the distance between the sauce and pasta was of about 10 mm.
  • the receptacle 2 was then closed with a film 31. of coupled PP/PET, provided with perforations 32, sealed on the flanging 9 of the edge 8 of the receptacle.
  • the holes 32 were arranged, in a total number of 83, in three parallel rows spaced apart by 18 mm, one of which passing through the diameter of the opening of the receptacle 2. Each hole had a diameter of 0.3 mm and was spaced apart from the adjacent hole/holes by 3.7 mm. This configuration has been shown to allow the maintenance of a slight excess pressure inside the receptacle without the risk of creating tensions in the film such as to cause its detachment.
  • the receptacle 2 was then placed inside a cardboard container 11 having an overturned truncated conical shape, whose bottom 12 has a diameter of about 83 mm and whose opening has a diameter of about 115 mm.
  • the container 11 is about 100 mm in height and can receive in its interior the receptacle 2, which remains suitably centred and positioned thanks to the engaging of the edge 13 of the container 11 to the perimetrical grooving 10 of the receptacle 2 and thanks to the protrudings 81 found inside the edge 8 of the receptacle 2.
  • Engaging is ensured thanks to a series of protrudings 35 arranged on the internal surface of the edge 36 of the lid 33, near its clear rim, which, once pressed beyond the folded edge 8 of the receptacle 2, engage it and retain it firmly in position.
  • the packaged frozen ready-made meal completed in this way is then frozen and stored in the freezer at a temperature of -18°C or lower.
  • the receptacle 2 was then closed with the same film of coupled PET/PP as per example 1, having the same perforations.
  • the packaged frozen ready-made meal was completed by the same procedures as per example 1, using the same container 11 and the same lid 33, and was then frozen and finally stored in the freezer at a temperature of -18°C or lower.
  • the packaged ready-made meals according to Examples 1 and 2 were prepared with a microwave oven to assess their organoleptic properties.
  • the two packaged ready-made meals were placed in a microwave oven, still sealed with the lid, and a power of 900 W was applied.
  • the time of treatment in the microwave oven was 4 minutes for the packaged ready-made meal according to example 1 and 5 minutes for the packaged ready-made meal according to example 2.
  • the average temperature of the product contained in each of the two packaged ready-made meals was also measured and it was found that in both cases such average temperature was around 65°C.
  • the pasta contained in the packaged ready-made meal as per example 1 has, in an even manner, the moisture content and the consistency typical of freshly cooked conventional pasta whereas the pasta contained in the packaged ready-made meal according to example 2 is uneven as regards moisture content and consistency, with single pieces of pasta being particularly dehydrated and occasionally burnt in the uppermost layers and above all near the wall of the receptacle.
  • the frozen disc of sauce protects the underlying pasta from excessive dehydration, preventing the release from the container of the water vapour generated during heating.
  • the steam retained below the sauce also contributes to the even and rapid heating of the pasta.
