  Conventionally, patterns and the like have been printed on the surface of food with edible ink.

  Because it was an edible ink made by mixing a fixed amount of synthetic colorants and various colorant pigments by mixing, etc., softness, hardness, stickiness, ease of bleeding, uneven color, etc. There were various problems. At the same time, there were many products that were not fully finished and looked good, and in particular, there was an unstable part of food hygiene safety that should be emphasized most now.

What is called a conventional edible sheet (film) is a thin cellophane film that cannot be eaten. First, the starch-based wafer film and the mannan-based konjac film are created and used as the base of the base. It is screen-printed with pictures and characters and attached to products as an integrated edible film. Naturally, the film base manufacturing process (screen printing method or roll coater method) and the pattern printing process are different, and the film was completed as one film in two processes. In particular, it took time and effort to manufacture the base film, and the process management was complicated, so the materials and manufacturing costs were high, and because of the nature of the film, it was a completely dry film. The process management was very complicated, including stable storage of production.
Depending on the spray method, it is difficult to accurately draw a pattern such as a character or a picture, and when these patterns are transferred, delicateness is lost.

  The present invention can transfer a pattern such as a letter or a picture on the surface of a food delicately without requiring a troublesome transfer process, ensuring a food hygiene safety, and a transfer method with low manufacturing cost. It is an object to provide a transfer sheet used in this method.

  Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a new product which is produced by the above-described transfer method and has a sufficient degree of completion and appearance, that is, a food product.

  The present invention is a printed sheet having an edible transfer portion, that is, the transfer sheet is mixed with rice flour and water at a ratio of 1: 1 to 5 and cooked with a rice cooker, and rice flour porridge paste with water and vegetable dry powder. The edible ink formed into a paste form by cooking the added mixture with a rice cooker is used, and consists of the edible ink part by screen printing directly on a flat plastic in a humid environment with a humidity of 70% or more. It has one feature in producing a character or picture pattern film by drying it in a humid environment. As the glutinous rice, feather double powder is desirably used, but other glutinous rice may be used.

  In the present invention, rice flour and water are mixed at a ratio of 1: 1 to 5 and cooked with a rice cooker to form rice flour porridge paste, and water and vegetable dry powder are added to the paste to form a mixture, The mixture is cooked with a rice cooker to form an edible ink, and a letter consisting of an edible ink portion directly formed by screen printing on a flat plastic film in a humid environment using the edible ink or Form a transfer sheet with a picture pattern coating and dry it in a humid environment, with the transfer sheet in close contact with the surface of food such as rare cheesecake, ice cream, chocolate, jelly, etc. Make the edible ink part on the transfer sheet into a paste state using the moisture of the food, and perform quick freezing to fuse the edible ink part to the surface of the food, and then Letters or pictures for performing the removing the plastic film to provide a transfer method for transferring the food.

Different vegetable dry powders form each mixture to form multiple edible inks, then screen printing uses multiple edible inks sequentially to form each transfer sheet, and these transfer sheets are oriented A transfer method for transferring characters or pictures used for screen printing to foods in order.
Provided is a transfer method for transferring characters or pictures placed on the surface of a food container to the food with the edible ink portion of the transfer sheet facing the front side when the transfer sheet is brought into close contact with the surface of the food.

  The present invention is a further one-layer flat plastic film, and on the flat plastic film, an edible ink that exhibits adhesive properties is directly printed on the flat plastic film by screen printing. A transfer sheet having a two-layer structure having a pattern film is formed and dried in a humid environment so that the edible ink part comes into contact with the surface of a food such as rare cheesecake, ice cream, chocolate or jelly. The edible ink portion on the transfer sheet is made into a paste state using the moisture of the food, and then quick freezing is performed to fuse the edible ink portion to the surface of the food, and then the plastic film is removed. A transfer method for transferring characters or pictures to food is provided.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the problems of the conventional transfer method. It was possible to completely take up nutrients as well by completely separating from the synthetic colorant and using the pigments of the natural vegetable powder, and at the same time making the powder itself (50-100 μ particles). In addition, it is possible to use fine color pigments that are contained in dried vegetable powders instead of liquid pigments, making it difficult for colors to flow out during printing and when transferred to foods, ensuring a sufficient thickness unique to screen printing. As a result, it is possible to increase the concealment in the colored portion and to give the product stability. Because it is not just mixing ink by mixing etc. at normal temperature as before, glutinous rice (for example, feather double powder) and water have a ratio of 1: 1 to 5 in the manufacturing process. Boiled food with a rice cooker for a certain period of time (for example, 10-60 minutes), and this process is continued twice and cooked with high-temperature heat. Insufficient color unevenness is eliminated, and by cooking the glutinous rice into the base, it becomes possible to make a paste with moderate stickiness and softness, which can be said to be an excellent edible ink with high printability and high safety. In addition, by using this method, it is possible to easily form not only a single color edible ink but also a composite blend color mixed evenly. In addition, since the present invention has a two-layer structure in which characters or picture parts are formed on a plastic film, when the plastic film is removed, only one side of the letters or picture parts remains on the surface of the food, so Is not obstructed, and the color of edible ink is clearly projected, and it is possible to provide a food with a beautiful finish.

(1) At least glutinous rice (feather double powder) and water in a ratio of 1: 1 to 5 are cooked for a certain period of time (10 to 60 minutes) with a rice cooker, and the cooked glutinous rice porridge paste In addition, add the same amount of water as before, and mix a variety of natural and varied vegetable dry powder pigments (eg red for red pepper, yellow for pumpkin, green for spinach, etc.) (5-30%). By cooking again with a rice cooker for a certain period of time (10-60 minutes), edible ink is formed.
By using this method, it is possible to easily form not only a single color edible ink but also a composite blend color mixed evenly. At the same time, an edible ink that is pasteurized and is highly viscous and characterized by moderate softness without unevenness in color is provided.

(2) Using the edible ink, first, the room is humid at room temperature (for example, at a humidity of 70% or more, 1
Environmental management to a state of less than 00%) and at least by edible alcohol,
Using a screen printing plate (tetron plate) of about 150 mesh on a flat plastic film (polyester film is most suitable) with a surface thickness of about 100 microns, the ink of about 5 to 6 microns is applied by screen printing technique. After printing pictures and characters directly on the thickness of the film, keep it at room temperature and humidity (humidity 70% or more) and dry at least 1
A transfer sheet is formed, which is characterized by forming pictures and letters with edible ink after more than one time.

(3) Using the edible ink of (1) above, the transfer sheet of (2) is in the middle of food processing and manufacturing processes such as water-soluble rare cheesecake, ice cream, chocolate, jelly, etc. (liquid or semi-liquid in the container) Place the product on the surface of the product or place it on the side, or first place the transfer sheet on the bottom and pour the liquid into the edible afterwards. The ink part and a part of the food body (liquid state) are in close contact, and the edible ink part (
Use a quick freezer by returning the picture and text part) to a soft paste.
By instantly cooling (below -0 ° C), the edible ink part and part of the food body are brought into close contact and fused together, so just remove the plastic film (mounting part) after adhesion. It provides a method that allows only pictures and characters to be printed neatly on the surface, side and bottom of food.

  What is said to be a conventional edible sheet is a thin cellophane film that cannot be eaten. First, an oblate film made of starch or a konjac film made of mannan is made and used as the base of the film. It is screen-printed and attached to products as an integrated edible film. Naturally, the film base manufacturing process (screen printing method or roll coater method) and the pattern printing process are different, and the film was completed as one film in two processes. In particular, it takes time and labor to manufacture the base film, and the process management is complicated, so the materials and manufacturing costs are high, and because of the nature of the film, it is a completely dry film. Although the process management is very complicated including stable storage of the product, according to the present embodiment, the complicated part can be completely deleted. In other words, without using a base film such as konjac or wafer, the environmental conditions of the manufacturing process are controlled (humidity 70% or more), and the process is greatly improved from two processes to one process. That is, using a screen printing plate (tetron plate) of about 150 mesh on a flat plastic film (optimum pet film) of about 100 μm thickness sterilized by edible alcohol, by screen printing technique, Even after printing pictures and characters directly on the ink thickness of about 5-6μ, the transfer (print) sheet formed by drying under normal temperature and humidity (humidity 70% or more) environmental conditions Unlike edible sheets, the cost could be greatly reduced. In addition, since there is no base film on the printing process and the product attaching process, it can be handled easily.

  Conventional edible transfer sheets have mainly been used to peel konjac and wafer films themselves from plastic and apply them to products. As a method, it is transferred at room temperature or frozen and painted on a product. They were peeled off by hand or frozen and applied for a long time at a low temperature. In the embodiment of the present invention, a transfer sheet using the ink of (1) and the sheet manufacturing method of (2) is directly applied to a food processing step (liquid in a container) such as rare cheesecake, ice cream, chocolate, jelly with moisture. (Alternatively, it can be placed on the food surface of a semi-liquid state), placed on the side of the food, or placed on the side, or first put a sheet on the bottom and then poured liquid into each transfer sheet. Paste the edible ink part (picture and character part) of the dried transfer sheet using the moisture of the product by adhering the food ink part and part of the food body (liquid part) softly By using a quick freezer and cooling it instantaneously (below -0 ° C), the edible ink part and part of the food body are brought into close contact fusion and integrated. Only remove the Irumu (mount portion), only pictures and letters are neatly printed on the surface or the side surface of the food. In addition, a plurality of prints can be easily made by arranging a plurality of transfer prints. With the transfer sheet and attachment method according to the present embodiment, only a partial cooling (−0 ° C. or less) is achieved in a short time without using a low temperature of around −25 ° C. over a long period of time. In terms of manufacturing and processing, significant time savings and cost reductions are possible at the same time. In addition to being eaten and tasted by this example, it is possible to enjoy it after seeing and enjoying it with the eyes, so that it can be tasted twice, so there is a great demand as a new field of food, such as law, festivals, events and original souvenirs. It was expected.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a process diagram showing a transfer method according to an embodiment of the present invention. This transfer method includes first to fourth steps. The first step is an edible ink formation process, the second step is a transfer sheet formation process, the third step is a transfer formation process to food, and the fourth step is the completion of food with characters or pictures transferred It is a process. A transfer sheet is manufactured by the first step and the second step. The transfer method is constituted by the second step and the third step, and the characteristic food completed by the fourth step is provided. Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.

  2 and 3 show the first step of forming edible ink. In these figures, glutinous rice 1 that is double-powder powder and water are mixed in a ratio of 1: 5 (most preferably around 1: 2 to 3) to form a mixture 3, and a rice cooker (all rice cookers) In this example, the rice cooker is cooked for a certain time, for example, 10 to 60 minutes. This makes glutinous rice porridge paste 5.

  Add the same amount of water 6 to the cooked glutinous rice paste 5 and add a fixed amount of natural, multicolored and dried vegetable pigment 7 for example. Form and cook again with the rice cooker 4 for a certain period of time, for example, 10 to 60 minutes, to make sticky edible ink 9. In place of the feather double powder, edible rice (urchin rice) powder and super fresh powder are practical, and rice flour can be used. A sticky material is used.

  The vegetable dry powder used in this step includes pumpkin, red bell pepper, spinach and the like, and what is important in this step is that edible ink that is completely sterilized is formed by two-time cooking. 4 and 5 show a first step of forming a transfer sheet. In this process, the edible ink 9 created in the first step is used. This edible ink 9 is made from glutinous rice porridge paste and has paste properties. Due to this paste property, the edible ink can be printed on a plastic sheet without printing on other paste-like sheets.

  In order to maintain this paste property, the transfer sheet process is performed in a humid state. As shown in FIG. 4, the working atmosphere, that is, the working environment inside the working chamber 11 is normal temperature and high humidity, for example, humidity 70 to 100%. The humid state should just maintain the wet state of glue. In such a humid environment, the edible ink 9 is used on the plastic film 12, and a transfer sheet is formed using a screen printing technique. As the screen printing technique, a known screen printing technique can be adopted.

FIG. 5 shows a method for producing a transfer sheet by a screen printing method.
FIG. 5A shows a state before printing, and a screen printing plate 15 is prepared above the plastic film 12. The screen printing plate 15 is obtained by firmly fixing the Tetron plate 18 with the outer frame 16, and has a non-image portion (plate coating) 31 and an image portion 32 formed on the lower surface.
On the Tetron plate 18, the edible ink 9 made by the above-described method is placed, and a stage 17 is prepared as a means for moving the edible ink 9 in the operating direction and rubbing it.

FIG. 5B shows a situation during printing, and a stage 17 is used to produce a prototype of characters or pictures on the screen printing plate 15 by screen technology. In other words, on a flat plastic film (polyester film) 12 having a thickness of about 100 μ, the surface of which has been sterilized by edible alcohol, a letter or a picture having an ink thickness of about 5-6 μ, for example, by a screen printing technique of about 150 mesh. Print directly. The produced transfer sheet 21 is a flat plastic film 12, and the second layer of the transfer film 21 directly formed by screen printing on the flat plastic film using an edible ink that exhibits paste properties. It is characterized in that it is used for a two-layer structure having a painting (character or picture) film composed of the edible ink portion 19.
That is, it is possible to have a configuration in which the base layer film as the third layer is not provided for adhesion between the ink portion and the plastic film.

  FIG. 5C shows the situation after the end of printing. After printing, natural drying, for example, drying for about 10 to 30 minutes is performed in an environment of normal temperature and high humidity. Printing and drying of such characters and pictures are performed as many times as necessary to form the characters or pictures. The transfer sheet 2 is completed by performing a plurality of such steps.

  FIG. 6 shows a step of repeating the printing shown in FIG. 5 for each color a plurality of times corresponding to the number of colors. In the figure, the transfer sheet is positioned by Tsukiate 35 placed on the left and bottom sides in the figure, for example, green is printed in Step 1, yellow in Step 2, red in Step 3, and purple in Step 4. Completed.

Since the transfer sheet 21 manufactured by such a method does not use an integrated base film for peeling off, the edible ink 9 for characters and pictures can be directly printed on the surface of the plastic film 12. . For this reason, it is usually easy to peel off the plastic film 12 and the edible ink portion 9 simply.
To put it the other way around, the product is not peeled, lifted, wrinkled or melted in the handling process like a conventional film until it is attached to a product (food such as cheesecake). Have.

  FIG. 7 shows two examples of the third step of transferring and forming a food product. In forming this process, the transfer sheet 21 formed in the second step is used (FIG. 7A). In FIG. 7, the thickness is indicated on the transfer sheet for the sake of explanation, but it is in the form of a sheet and is extremely thin.

  It can be placed on the surface of a food 22 such as a water-soluble rare cheesecake, ice cream, chocolate, jelly or the like (a container 23 filled with a liquid or semi-liquid food product) (FIG. 7 ( b-1)), or first, the edible ink portion of the transfer sheet 21 is disposed on the inner side or bottom surface of the container 23 so that the edible ink portion is on the front side, and then the food in the middle of the food processing process is placed in the container 23 After pouring, it is also placed on the surface of the food 22 (FIG. 7 (b-2)).

  In this way, put it on the surface of the food 23, wrap it around the side, lay it down on the bottom, and place the transfer sheet with letters or pictures you want to attach to the place you want to adhere The edible ink portion 19 of 21 is brought into close contact with the liquid portion of the main body of the food 22. The dried edible ink portion 19 absorbs the moisture of the food 22 and returns to the soft paste state.

  The food 22 in such a state is put into the quick freezer 31 (FIG. 7C). The quick freezing chamber 31 is used to instantaneously cool the food 22 (for example, to a temperature of −0 ° C. or lower), thereby bringing the edible ink portion 19 and a portion of the food main body into close fusion and integrating. . As a result, the edible ink portion 19 is integrated and closely adhered to the surface of the food 22 to form a food.

  After the adhesion is made in this way, the plastic film 12 is removed from the food itself (FIG. 7 (d)).

  When the plastic film 12 is removed from the food, the edible ink portion 19 is printed on the surface portion, the side surface portion, and the bottom surface portion of the food product 22 to complete the food product on which characters and pictures are transferred. In this way, the fourth step is completed. Only one edible ink portion is formed on the surface portion of the food 22.

The structural features of the finished food product after the fourth step, that is, the character or picture transferred product, are as follows.
FIG. 8 shows food that is manufactured and completed by the method shown in the present embodiment, in which the food part is housed in a container such as cheesecake, ice cream, and jelly. In FIG. 8, the food part 81 (corresponding to the food 22 in FIG. 7) is stored inside the container 23, and a lid 82 is provided on the top of the container 23. (FIG. 8 (a)). As shown in FIG. 8B, a picture portion (that is, a picture portion) 85 (corresponding to the edible ink portion 19 in FIG. 7) is transferred and provided on the surface 84 of the food portion 81. is there. In FIG. 8A, the character or picture portion 85 is fused and integrated with the food on the surface portion of the food portion 81, and the surface 86 of the character or picture portion 85 and the surface 84 of the food portion 81 substantially coincide with each other. (Uniform plane).

  And the feature that both the surface 84 of the food part 81 and the surface 86 of the character or picture part 85 are directly exposed to the outside is formed. In this state, the gloss of the food part 81 is exposed as it is, and the color of the letters or the edible ink 9 constituting the picture part 85 is exposed as it is. Presents.

  FIG. 9 shows a conventional example in which an edible ink portion and edible ink are placed, and a character or a picture portion is formed from a film made of konjac or wafer and a thin film on which the film is placed. The food part 81 is accommodated in the container 23, and a character or picture part 85 is formed on the surface part of the food part 81. According to this manufacturing method, the character or picture part 85 is placed on the edible covering 91, and the covering is the uppermost part of the food part 81 as shown in FIG. 9 (a) or FIG. 9 (b). It will be formed on the surface.

  By directly exposing the edible ink part or the picture part 85, it is possible to eliminate thin coatings such as konjac and oblate. The product value was extremely high. In addition, since the transferred character or the picture part 85 is not covered, the color is clear and vivid.

  Even when viewed from the side, it is possible to finish the surface 84 of the food part 81 and the surface 86 of the character or picture part 85 flat, and it is possible to provide a product in which the food part 81 and the character or picture part 85 are integrated. Became.

FIG. 10 shows an example in which letters or picture parts are formed on chocolate (plate). This is basically the same as the example shown in FIG.
In the conventional technique, it was impossible to transfer a chocolate having a high oil property using a coating such as konjac or wafer having a high water property. Since the method of fusing 101 to chocolate 102 is adopted, it becomes possible to easily fuse and integrate a chocolate-based paste and an edible ink paste. According to the method of this embodiment, the oil of the chocolate and the water of the edible ink part do not repel greatly (water repellency), and the particles of the edible ink paste are mixed in the particles of the chocolate paste. And fused.

  In this way, even when the base is chocolate, the edible ink portion 101 which is a character or a picture part is fused and integrated with the chocolate on the surface part of the chocolate 102, and the surface 103 of the letter or picture part and the chocolate 102 are integrated.
