Preserving soln. for cut flowers - allowing transport in bud form and ripening at time of sale

Preservation of cut flowers, partic. mimosa, is effected by immersing the stems, after cutting off >=2 cms. in a soln. of a powder contg. 100mg. hydroxylamine hydrochloride, 400mg. citric acid, 20mg. benzimidazole, 100mg. 8-oxyquinoline sulphate and 10mg. of saccharose in 1 litre of water, 1 mg. of magnesium silicate is opt. added, partic. when the water is hard. When the flowers are cut in full bloom the stems should be placed in the soln. without 3 hrs. of cutting. When cut in bud the stems should be immersed immediately when they will open out normally. If they are to be held back they can be kept at a temp. of 1 degree C for 5-7 days and then dipped into the soln.; they will come into full bloom quickly. The powder has interesting preservation props.; it prevents clouding of vases the degradation of proteins and chlorophyl. It acts against fungi and bacteria and maintains pH 4.

LES SEMENCES TRAITEES SELON L'INVENTION ONT DES PROPRIETES AVANTAGEUSES EN TERMES DE CONSERVATION ET DE DEVELOPPEMENT ULTERIEUR A L'EXPOSITION A UN ENVIRONNEMENT APPROPRIE. THE INVENTION CONCERNS THE GENERATED SEEDS OF A PLANT SPECIES OTHER THAN A SPECIES CHARACTERIZED BY A SEMINAL RADICULAR SYSTEM, FOR EXAMPLE VEGETABLE SEEDS WITH SMALL SEEDS, SEEDS WITH RAISED RADICELLS AND A MOISTURE CONTENT THEREFORE. RADICELLES IS SUSPENDED WITHOUT LOSS OF SEED VIABILITY. THE SEEDS MAY BE SUBJECT TO A TREATMENT WHICH INCLUDES THE SOAKING OF THE SEEDS AT A STEP WHERE THE RADICELLES HAVE GROWED IN A SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION AND DRYING IN A TWO-STEP PROCESS, THE FIRST STEP INCLUDING DRYING AT A MOISTURE CONTENT THE INDIVIDUAL SEEDS ARE SEPARABLE AND FREE FLOW AND THE SECOND STAGE INCLUDES DRYING IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF HIGHLY HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY, LIKE 70 TO 90 AT A TEMPERATURE RANGING FROM 20 TO 30C. THE SEEDS TREATED ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION HAVE ADVANTAGEOUS PROPERTIES IN TERMS OF CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT FOLLOWING EXPOSURE TO A SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT.

Preservation of cut plants - by contacting with liq. poly:ol under pressure

Method of processing cut plant material esp. for preserving leaves, stems or flowers for decorative purposes, comprises immersing the plant material in a liq. polyol compsn. with a specific gravity of 1.10-1.16, applying a pressure of 5-40 (pref. 18-24) psi for 2-7.

Retention of colour in dried biological matter - by coating with egg white, powdering the coated surface and drying

Procédé de conservation de produits végétaux tels que fleurs et d'animaux tels que papillons. Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce qu'on revêt la totalité de la surface extérieure du corps biologique à conserver avec du blanc d'oeuf cru, puis on saupoudre la totalité de cette surface ainsi revêtue avec un produit pulvérulent et on sèche le corps ainsi traité. L'invention s'applique notamment à la décoration de pâtisserie.
