Abstract
An edible food container provided with a moisture resistant barrier coating composition having a substantially uniform thickness on at least the internal surface thereof and which is substantially free of blocking and cracking, said coating composition being selected from the group consisting of a food grade modified fat (emulsifier), a food grade modified fat (emulsifier) containing a filler material and a fat containing a filler material.
Claims16
A method of processing an edible food container for use a food product which comprises applying a moisture-resistant, barrier coating composition of a food grade modified fat material containing a filler material or a food grade fat containing a filler material, to at least the interior surface of the edible food container in an amount sufficient to produce a continuous, uniform film of said barrier coating composition on said surface, said barrier coating composition being applied by a flo-coating technique wherein an effective amount of said composition is introduced into the edible food container and the coating composition is then forced up the inside surface of the container, by imparting relative rotation to the container and coating composition to effect a rotational motion of the coating composition within the container.
