A packaging device incorporating a breathable peel/reseal film and enabling a preservation process for allowing for the distribution, storage and multiple servings of a food product, particularly perishable food product(s), and initiating and controlling the transmission rates, respiration rates or deterioration of the perishable food product(s) and thereby, maintaining good internal and external food quality and normal development of flavor and aroma characteristics. The packaging device includes a plurality of atmospheric control attributes that modulates or controls the atmosphere within the packaging device as the food product(s) respire in order to promote the extended shelf-life of the food product and the maintenance of the quality and desirable marketable characteristics of the food product. The atmospheric control attributes can include perforations that may be positioned in breathable peel/reseal film portion of the package to allow the product respiration for multiple servings without substantially altering the shelf life extension properties of the packaging device.

The present invention relates to a kit for improving food shelf life comprising a sheet-like element component and an alkaline component. The sheet-like element component comprises a particulate filler comprising a mineral a binder and an oxygen scavenger. The oxygen scavenger is a compound comprising at least two phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can be deprotonated by the alkaline component, thus activating the oxygen scavenger. Further aspects of the present invention relate to an activated sheet-like element formed from the inventive kit, a process for the manufacture of a kit for improving shelf life, a process for the manufacture of a sheet-like element component, a process for activating the sheet-like element component, a supply device comprising the activated sheet-like element, a food packaging comprising the activated sheet-like element and the use of the kit or the activated sheet-like element in a food packaging and for prolonging food shelf life.

A lyophilization container includes a first section having a first layer, a second layer aligned with the first layer, and a cavity defined by the alignment of the first and second layers, where at least one of the first and second layers is preformed to have a three-dimensional shape. A lyophilization fixture includes a base member and a lid member. The lid member is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the base member. The base member and lid member together define a housing that receives at least a portion of a lyophilization container.

A lid, a container with a lid, and a combination of a lid and a container that can suppress the contents from protruding onto lid through a through portion and covers the opening of the container. The lid has a body formed to be joinable to a container having an opening and an edge forming the outer periphery of the opening, and has at least one water-repellent breathable sheet, wherein the body has a joining region corresponding part corresponding to the region joined to the container along the edge of the container, and a lid region corresponding part formed from the inside of the joining region corresponding part, the lid region corresponding part having a through portion, and at least a part of at least one of the breathable sheets faces at least a part of the surface of the lid region corresponding part that opposes the container.

A flexible multi-compartment package is provided. The package may include a first compartment that contains aquatic plants and a second compartment that contains a carrier material. The first compartment and the second compartment may be fluidly coupled via a channel disposed between the first compartment and the second compartment. The channel may be unsealed to allow fluid communication between the first compartment and the second compartment such that the aquatic plants and carrier material may be mixed for consumption.
