Abstract

Cyclodextrin compositions, including a hydrophobic carrier and a cyclodextrin complex, are formed and disposed on a variety of substrates using conditions that avoid substantial loss of the complexed compound from the cyclodextrin complex, even where the complexed compound is a gas a common ambient temperatures (e.g. 20° C.). Flexographic printing is particularly useful for disposing the cyclodextrin compositions on one or more substrates. Substrates treated with the cyclodextrin complexes are useful for subsequent release of the complexed compound.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A treated laminate comprising a composition, the composition consisting essentially of
a cyclodextrin inclusion complex comprising a cyclodextrin compound and an olefinic inhibitor; and
a carrier comprising petrolatum or a petrolatum-like material,
wherein the carrier has a melting transition onset between about 23° C. and 40° C. and solubility in water of less than 1 wt % at 25° C.

2. The treated laminate of claim 1 wherein the cyclodextrin inclusion complex consists of α-cyclodextrin and 1-methylcyclopropene.

3. The treated laminate of claim 1 wherein the carrier has a dynamic viscosity of less than about 30 cP at 100° C.

4. The treated laminate of claim 1 wherein the carrier consists essentially of petrolatum.

5. The treated laminate of claim 1 wherein the composition is present in a discontinuous pattern.

6. A container comprising the treated laminate of claim 1 .

7. The container of claim 6 wherein the container is enclosed, partially enclosed, or unenclosed.

8. The container of claim 6 further comprising one or more items of produce.

9. The container of claim 8 wherein the atmosphere proximal to the produce comprises between 1 ppb and 5 ppm of the olefinic inhibitor.

10. The treated laminate of claim 1 further comprising an adhesive.
