PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cut flower keeping extension device which can extend a keeping period of a cut flower in a state when the cut flower is cut for a long period, and which can contribute to the ornamental flower industry for distributing the cut flower as a fresh cut flower, wherein, as all materials are oxidized by contacting oxygen, a vacuum state is not produced but nitrogen gas is jetted for separating the cut flower from oxygen, growth of the flower is stopped, and the cut flower can be kept in a hibernation state without reduction of freshness and deterioration of dye.SOLUTION: A cut flower and a small amount of lime are sealed in a sealed bag, air is vented therefrom and nitrogen gas is jetted therein for exchanging air and the nitrogen gas, and the bag is sealed again. The cut flower is provided for selling at a cool place.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 本発明は切り花の日持ちを採花したそのままの状態で長期間延長し、新鮮な切り花として流通しようとする花卉産業界に貢献し得る究極の切り花日持ち延長装置である。すべての物質は酸素に触れて酸化するものであるから、真空ではなく窒素ガスを注入して切り花と酸素を遮断し、成長活動を止め、色素を損なわず鮮度も減少させず、冬眠状態で保存する切り花日持ち延長装置である。【解決手段】 密封した袋に切り花と少量の生石灰を同封し、空気を抜いて窒素ガスを注入し、空気と入れ替えて、再び密封し、涼しい場所で販売に提供する。【選択図】図1
