Abstract
A solution can form an edible film. The edible film is useful for transferring spices of different weights, sizes, and shapes to a surface of a food and completely disintegrating in contact with a humidity of the food where it is applied, leaving visible only the layer of spices contained in the edible film.
Claims22
A film-forming solution comprising an aqueous dissolution of methylcellulose in a concentration by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution between 0.5% and 6%, where the methylcellulose has a viscosity between 100 cP and 1000 cP, measured in a solution at 2% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution, using a Brookfield DV2T viscometer at 25° C. with spindle No. 1, and at a rotational speed of 60 rpm.
An edible spice transfer film, comprising:
- a) a layer comprising methylcellulose, soluble in water, with a viscosity between 100 cP and 1000 cP, measured in a 2% solution by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution, using a Brookfield DV2T viscometer at 25° C. with the spindle No. 1, and at a rotational speed of 60 rpm, and
- b) a layer of spices on or integrated into the layer comprising methylcellulose.
A method for obtaining an edible film, the method comprising:
- a) dissolving methylcellulose in water, in a concentration between 0.5 and 6% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution, methylcellulose has a viscosity between 100 cP and 1000 cP, measured in a 2% solution, using a Brookfield DV2T viscometer at 25° C. with spindle No1, and at a rotational speed of 60 rpm;
- b) degassing the solution obtained in step a);
- c) spreading the degassed solution obtained in step b) to form a uniform layer on a substrate;
- e) drying the layer obtained in c)
- f) separating the film from the substrate;
- the method comprising adding spices to the solution of step a) or to the layer obtained in step c).
