<p>PURPOSE:To form a covering layer to retard aging of fruits and not to cause cracking, etc., of the covered layer caused by expansion of fruits when the fruits are kept in cold storage or frozen after covering, by using a resin composition comprising a vinyl acetate resin and a plasticizer as main components. CONSTITUTION:A resin composition comprising a vinyl acetate resin having about 200-4,000 polymerization degree and about 1-65wt% based on the resin of a plasticizer such as dibutyl phthalate, liquid paraffin, etc. as main components, having about 3,000-150,000cps, preferably about 8,000-100,000cps viscosity at 150 deg.C, is melted under heating, fruits are immersed in the melt, and a covering layer having relatively uniform thickness is formed on the surface of the fruits.</p> |
