TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a coated packaging structure for mushrooms which is capable of avoiding germ contamination.
BACKGROUND
Conventionally, mushrooms are foods with high protein content, and the protein content exceeds that of vegetables: Mushrooms contain a lot of minerals, and the protein content is between vegetables and meat, so they are more nutritious and satisfying than ordinary vegetables, and it is also a source of protein intake for vegetarians. High dietary fiber, low fat, low calorie: mushrooms are full of dietary fiber, which can lower cholesterol and protect blood vessels. In addition, most of the fat it contains is unsaturated fatty acid, so it is less burdensome to the human body. Rich vitamin content: Vitamin B group and vitamin D are both nutrients contained in large amounts in mushrooms. Vitamin B group can promote metabolism, and vitamin D can help the body absorb calcium, which are all essential nutrients for us.
Mushrooms are also the ingredients we often use for cooking. Common mushrooms such as Flammulina velutipes, shiitake mushrooms, Pleurotus eryngii, Agaricus bisporus, Hypsizygus tessulatus, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Hericium erinaceus, each of which has a different appearance and taste. It is slightly different, and the suitable cooking method is also slightly different. For the preservation and handling of mushrooms, do not wash them with water after you buy them home, but keep them dry and stored.
FIG. 10 is a side plan view showing the application of a conventional coated packaging structure for mushrooms. The mushrooms 1 are packaged by an Oriented Polypropylene (OPP) film 2. However, the OPP film 2 is not air-permeable to get moldy to the mushrooms, thus having Listeria contamination.
FIG. 11 is a side plan view showing the application of another conventional coated packaging structure for mushrooms. The mushrooms 1 are accommodated in a body 3, and the OPP film 2 is configured to cover the body 3. Nevertheless, the OPP film 2 has poor air permeability to get moldy to the mushrooms, thus having Listeria contamination.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY
A primary aspect of the present invention is to provide a coated packaging structure for mushrooms which is capable of avoiding germ contamination.
To obtain above-mentioned aspect, a coated packaging structure for mushrooms which is capable of avoiding germ contamination provided by the present invention contains: a body, a cast polypropylene (CPP) film, and a coating film.
The body is configured to accommodate the mushrooms. The CCP film is configured to cover the mushrooms, and the coating film is configured to cover the body and the CCP film. The body is made of any one of paper, styrofoam polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). The mushrooms is any one of Flammulina velutipes, shiitake mushrooms, Pleurotus eryngii, Agaricus bisporus, Hypsizygus tessulatus, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Hericium erinaceus. The coated packaging structure further contains a strap fitted on the body and the coating film, and product information of the mushrooms is displayed on the strap. The product information includes any one of a product name, a weight, a place of origin, a distributor, and an expiration date.
Other objects and features will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the application of a coated packaging structure for mushrooms according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view showing the application of the coated packaging structure for the mushrooms according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view taken along the line B-B of FIG. 2.
With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the coated packaging structure of the present invention comprises a body 10 made of any one of paper, styrofoam and plastic material, wherein the plastic material is polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). In this embodiment, the body 10 is made of the plastic material and is configured to accommodate the mushrooms 1, wherein the mushrooms 1 is any one of Flammulina velutipes, shiitake mushrooms, Pleurotus eryngii, Agaricus bisporus, Hypsizygus tessulatus, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Hericium erinaceus. The coated packaging structure comprises a cast polypropylene (CPP) film 20 configured to cover the mushrooms 1, wherein the CCP film 20 is air-permeable to keep the mushrooms 1 fresh.
The CCP film 20 is non-extendable and non-directional, and the coated packaging structure further comprises a coating film 30 configured to cover the body 10 and the CCP film 20 configured to cover the mushrooms 1, thus avoiding germ contamination.
The coating film 30 is produced by coating melted resin materials on a substrate, pressing and cooling, wherein the coated packaging structure further comprises a strap 40 fixed on the body 10 and the coating film 30.
The strap 40 is configured to display product information which includes a product name, a weight, a place of origin, a distributor, an expiration date.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the operation of the coated packaging structure for the mushrooms according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is another perspective view showing the operation of the coated packaging structure for the mushrooms according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is also another perspective view showing the operation of the coated packaging structure for the mushrooms according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. For example, the mushrooms 1 (such as Flammulina velutipes, shiitake mushrooms, Pleurotus eryngii, Agaricus bisporus, Hypsizygus tessulatus, Pleurotus ostreatus or Hericium erinaceus) is covered by the CCP film 20 which is air-permeable to keep the mushrooms 1 fresh. Then, the mushrooms 1 is accommodated in the body 10 as shown in FIG. 4, and the coating film 30 is covered on the body 10 and the CCP film 20 configured to cover the mushrooms 1, thus avoiding the germ contamination, as illustrated in FIG. 5. Referring further to FIG. 6, the strap 40 is fitted on the body 10 and the coating film 30, wherein the product information of the mushrooms 1 is displayed on the strap 40, and the product information includes the product name, the weight, the place of origin, the distributor, and the expiration date, such that the product information is viewable by consumers clearly.
