摘要

The present invention relates to a non-foil composite barrier for an improved container for citrus juices and other liquids. The container utilizes a paperboard barrier laminate for the containment of essential oils and the prevention of losses of vitamin C. Also disclosed is a process of making the laminate. The laminate makes use of an inner barrier layer of a heat-sealable ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer to enhance the barrier properties of the laminate. The invention provides a container for liquids containing essential oils and/or flavors constructed from a laminated characterized by the fact that it comprises: a) a paperboard substrate (36); b) a thin outer layer (34) of a heat sealable low density polyethylene polymer coated on said outer surface of said paperboard substrate; c) an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer (44); and d) a heat sealable layer of a low density polyethylene layer (46).
