Food products can be stored and sold in packaging. For example, a perishable food product can be stored in a first compartment of a packaging, and a second food product can be stored in a second compartment. The first compartment can include a modified atmosphere to increase the shelf life of the food product in the first compartment. The second compartment can be under normal atmosphere. This allows a more perishable food product to be stored in the first compartment, and a prepackaged, or otherwise less perishable food product to be separately stored in the second compartment, while extending the shelf life of the food products. The first product could be a sandwich, and the second product be one or more condiments for the sandwich.

Dual-compartment food container is provided having an base portion including a base panel having first and second compartments defined therein and a cover portion including a cover panel joined by a common hinge portion. The cover portion is movable relative the base portion about the hinge portion from a substantially 180-degree open position to a closed position, wherein in the closed position, the cover portion is disposed over the first compartment with the second compartment extending beyond the cover portion. Each of the base portion and cover portion include at least one interlocking tab to releasably latch the base portion and cover portion. An engagement feature of the interlocking tabs can also provide a tactile indication to a user that the cover portion is secured in the closed position. A unitary blank for forming the dual-compartment food container from a sheet of blank material is also provided.

A pouch container (1) for a food product, a filled container, and a method of filling are described. The container (1) comprises a sheet containment material configured surroundingly and sealingly to define a food containment volume, at least one closure seam (7) provided within the volume between paired opposing surfaces of the said sheet containment material to divide the containment volume into two food compartments (8,9) suitable to contain food product in use, wherein the said closure seam (7) has a pressure sensitive apertured portion (14) adapted to be closed at ambient pressure but to open when an internal pressure differential between the compartments reaches a predetermined point.

A peel-openable package includes a lid. The led includes a sheet member located at a position corresponding to a container portion of a package main body, and a film member bonded to a surface of the sheet member. Cutouts running in a thickness direction of the members and are formed in a peel region defined in a foldable portion of the members. The cutouts and cross a longitudinal direction L and are away from each other by a predetermined interval extending in the longitudinal direction. Facing surfaces of the sheet member and the film member, which are in the peel region corresponding to an area between the cutouts, are bonded together so as to be peelable from each other by an adhesive layer.

The invention relates to a cartridge (1) for preparation of a beverage upon injection of liquid into the cartridge, the cartridge comprising at least a first compartment (2) and a second compartment (3) for holding beverage ingredients, an injection area (4) for receiving a liquid injected into the cartridge, and flow dividing means (8) designed for providing a fluid communication between the injection area (4) and the first and second compartment (2, 3), wherein the flow dividing means (8) are designed to provide a preferred flow path for liquid from the injection area (4) to the first and second compartment [2, 3) and to outlet means (9, 10) of the cartridge.

Food products can be stored and sold in packaging. For example, a perishable food product can be stored in a first compartment of a packaging, and a second food product can be stored in a second compartment. The first compartment can include a modified atmosphere to increase the shelf life of the food product in the first compartment. The second compartment can be under normal atmosphere. This allows a more perishable food product to be stored in the first compartment, and a prepackaged, or otherwise less perishable food product to be separately stored in the second compartment, while extending the shelf life of the food products. The first product could be a sandwich, and the second product be one or more condiments for the sandwich.

A food storage container includes two or more thermally insulated compartments that can facilitate storage of hot and cold items in a single container. The container includes sidewalls and interior walls that provide thermally insulated barriers. The container further includes a cover that also provides a thermally insulated barrier and securely complements each of the compartments within the container. The cover also includes a gasket or seal along its perimeter.

A disposable capsule for aerial diffusion of an aromatherapy composition formed from a mixture of essential oil and water, by use of an aerial diffusion device. The capsule includes a shell, the shell having at least a first reservoir containing an essential oil, and a second reservoir containing water, the first reservoir and the second reservoir being hermetically separated from one another.

A container for receiving a bag filled with a fluid, in particular a biopharmaceutical fluid, wherein connector tubing is attached to the bag. The container includes a dish portion and a lid portion, and the dish portion is divided into a main compartment of the container and a tubing compartment of the container. The lid portion includes a main portion, a tubing portion, and a hinge between the main portion and the tubing portion, and the hinge is adapted to allow for an opening of the tubing portion while the main portion remains closed, such that the bag remains protected in the main compartment while the connector tubing in the tubing compartment is accessible from the outside.

A food preparation package is disclosed. In some embodiments, the food preparation package can include a burst compartment, a first compartment to contain a first food ingredient, and a second compartment to contain a second food ingredient. The food preparation package can also include a first frangible seal separating the burst compartment and at least one of the first and second compartments. In addition, the food preparation device can include a second frangible seal separating the first and second compartments. Fluid pressure introduced into the burst compartment can break the first frangible seal and the second frangible seal to introduce the first food ingredient and the second food ingredient to one another within the package. In other embodiments, a food preparation package can include a first compartment to contain a first food ingredient, and a second compartment to contain a second food ingredient. The food preparation package can also include a frangible seal separating the first and second compartments. In addition, the food preparation package can include a filter to prevent unwanted material carried by a fluid from entering or exiting the package. Introduction of the fluid can provide a fluid pressure that breaks the frangible seal and introduces the first food ingredient and the second food ingredient to one another within the package.
