Description

  The present invention relates to a powder for an edible paint composition that can be obtained by simply hydrating and mixing the powder, and more specifically, the edible paint composition on the surface of a solid confectionery such as soft candy, The present invention relates to a powder for an edible paint composition, which can be directly applied and drawn by hand, and has good coating and drawing feelings, and good drying properties after application and after drawing, and a combination confectionery using the same.

  Conventionally, edible ink that can print and apply patterns, figures, symbols, characters, etc. on the surface of food has a composition suitable for the purpose of use, the properties of the object to be printed or applied, the equipment used, etc. Things are used.

  For example, as an edible ink for printing on a porous tablet using an ink jet printer, an ink composition for orally disintegrating tablets comprising a natural colorant, a food binder such as dextrin, a water-soluble solvent and water. Is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, pastes such as dextrin for printing on edible tablets such as tablet confections, ramune balls, sugar cubes, tangible chocolates, tablet pharmaceuticals, etc. with glucose as the main ingredient, using a bad-type printer An edible printing ink composed of a coating material, lecithin having an adhesion promoting action, a coloring agent, and water is known (for example, Patent Document 2).

  Furthermore, as edible ink used for printing letters and / or pictures on the surface of edible films with screen printers and jet printers, edible resins such as gums and edible materials such as water, ethanol, glycerin, etc. Known is a mixture of pigments, a mixture of edible pigments, edible oils and fats, thickeners added to water and emulsified with edible emulsifiers, or a mixture of saccharides with edible pigments and lecithin (for example, Patent Document 3).

  However, the quick-drying property of the edible ink composition, which is an essential condition when continuously operating an inkjet printer or a screen printer, is uniform when painting or drawing on the surface of a solid confectionery manually. The conventional edible ink composition as described above cannot be used as it is because it is difficult to apply in color tone and difficult to draw with clean lines.

  On the other hand, as an edible ink to be used for confectionery formed by manually drawing a desired picture, an operator can apply an edible coating with a edible underline diagram on a smooth, hygroscopic dry meringue. Coloring substances, such as coffee, caramel, chocolate, food coloring, jam, or mayonnaise, which are used to draw a picture and are contained in a resin-made painting container are known (for example, Patent Document 4). However, when drawing on a dry meringue with the coloring substance, it is a blotting point in the case of a coloring substance of an aqueous solution using coffee or food coloring, and in the case of a coloring substance having a high viscosity such as caramel, chocolate, jam, mayonnaise, etc. Had problems with drying.

In addition, as a confectionery made by hand like a coloring book, on the base plate, first, the high-viscosity chocolate dough filled in the tube is drawn and drawn after the outline of the coloring book is drawn while the tube body is pressed and cured. Next, a colored picture-shaped confectionery using chocolate made by pouring the entire low-viscosity colored chocolate dough filled in the same tube into a cured contour frame and curing it again is known (for example, Patent Documents). 5). However, the coloring picture-shaped confectionery has a problem in terms of simplicity, such as melting a chocolate-filled tube in a hot water bath, or maintaining a suitable molten state that allows coloring.

  Therefore, the development of edible ink that has good coating and drawing comfort, dryness after application and drawing, and can be applied and drawn directly on the surface of solid candy such as soft candy by hand. Was desired.
