Abstract
Cyclodextrin compositions including one or more radiation polymerizable monomers and a cyclodextrin inclusion complex, the cyclodextrin inclusion complex including a cyclodextrin compound and an olefinic inhibitor of an ethylene generation in produce, are coated onto packaging materials and cured. Treated containers and treated package inserts having the cured cyclodextrin compositions are useful in packaging of respiring plant materials.
Claims21
A method of treating one or more items of produce, the method comprising
- a. forming a cyclodextrin composition comprising one or more radiation polymerizable monomers and a cyclodextrin inclusion complex, the cyclodextrin inclusion complex comprising α-cyclodextrin and 1-methylcyclopropene;
- b. disposing the cyclodextrin composition onto at least a portion of one surface of a packaging material or onto produce;
- c. irradiating the disposed cyclodextrin composition to form a treated packaging material, the treated packaging material comprising a cured cyclodextrin composition;
- d. placing the treated packaging material proximal to one or more items of produce;
- and
- e. d. exposing the treated packaging material cured cyclodextrin composition to an activating amount of water.
