MOISTURE-RESISTANT EDIBLE FOOD COATING AND METHOD FOR APPLYING THE SAME

摘要

This disclosure is directed to a moisture-resistant edible food coating composition that comprises a polymer, a plasticizer, and an organic solvent, and a method for applying the same. The claimed edible coating has a reduced viscosity which enables more efficient application of the coating to a bakery product, reduces surface blemishes or textural defects on a frozen bakery product, and permits the frozen bakery product to show a fresh, "ready-to-eat" appearance upon thawing that will extend the shelf life and enhance the commercial value of the bakery product.
