PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lustering coating agent for food which suppresses the binding of the particles in the coating to each other, forms films having good luster and features good workability. SOLUTION: This coating material is prepd. by dissolving lipid which is liquid at ordinary temp. and dissolves in a solvent at a concn. of 5 to 20w/w% by the solid content weight of the coating agent to a soln. having a concn. of 5 to 20w/w% of the ethanol or/and isopropanol solvent of the coating agent. The coating agent is prepd. by dissolving the lipid described above at the concn. of 10 to 15w/w% in the case of the coating agent consisting of zein and at 10 to 20w/w% in the case of the coating agent consisting of shellac based on the solid content weight of the coating agent into the soln. having the concn. of 10 to 15w/w% of the ethanol or/and isopropanol solvent of the coating agent zein and/or shellac. The lip is liquid fatty acid or/and polyglycerol fatty acid ester. The liquid fatty acid is at least one selected from a group consisting of oleic acid, myristic acid, lauric acid and the fatty acid mixture derived from edible vegetable oils and fats. |
