Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an edible sheet and an edible ink that can be used for packaging foods, coating the outer periphery of foods, and the like.

"Prior Art" Conventionally, most food sheets are petroleum-based films, and only cellophane that slightly covers caramel is used.

[Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention] The conventional petroleum film has a drawback that it cannot be eaten.

Further, although cellophane can be eaten, it has a drawback that it is expensive and cannot form a taste, a character, a pattern or the like on its own.

In view of the above conventional drawbacks, the present invention aims at providing an edible sheet manufacturing method, an edible sheet and an edible ink that can be eaten at low cost and can form characters and patterns. I am trying.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms an edible product by mixing at least a mixture of konjac flour and water in a ratio of 1 to 40 to 80 with a mixer or the like. After the ink is printed in a thin sheet shape by a screen printing method, the drying operation is performed at least once to form an edible sheet.

Further, the present invention uses at least 40 parts of konjac flour and water.
The edible sheet body was formed by uniformly mixing edible inks in a proportion of up to 80 with a mixer or the like to form a thin-wall sheet by screen printing and then drying it at least once. And a colored edible ink formed by mixing a konjak powder and water in a ratio of 1 to 40 to 80 with a predetermined amount of an edible colorant and evenly mixing the mixture with a mixer or the like. After printing characters and patterns by the screen printing method, the edible sheet is composed of dried printing characters and patterns.

Further, the present invention comprises at least one pair of konjac flour and water.
The edible ink is formed by uniformly mixing 40 to 80 parts in a ratio with a mixer or the like.

[Operation] The edible sheet configured as described above can package food and eat it as it is.

In addition, since characters and patterns are printed with edible ink, it is possible to improve the appearance.

"Examples of the Present Invention" Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the examples shown in the drawings.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a mixture of konjak powder 2 and water 3 in a ratio of 1:40 to 80 as shown in FIG. Food ink 5
In the mixing step for producing the above, the mixing step 1 is performed for a sufficient time so that the konjak powder 2 and the water 3 are evenly mixed.

6 is an edible sheet forming step of forming the edible ink 5 produced in the mixing step 1 on a thin edible sheet 7,
In this edible sheet forming step 6, as shown in FIG. 3, on a plate 8 such as a flat polycarbonate plate which can be peeled off,
For example, a thin film printing step 10 for printing a thin film 9 of several microns by a screen printing method using a stainless steel printing plate X of 500 microns is performed.

Then, a drying step 11 is performed in which the thin film 9 printed on the plate 8 is dried using a heating dryer or the like.

The thin film printing step 10 and the drying step 11 are performed a plurality of times as necessary to form the thin edible sheet 7.

As shown in FIG. 4, reference numeral 12 denotes a peeling step for peeling the thin edible sheet 7 formed on the plate 8 from the plate 8. The peeling step 12 is performed manually or the like.

The edible sheet 7 manufactured by such a method is formed into a transparent thin wall having a thickness of several microns to several tens of microns.

"Different Embodiments of the Present Invention" Next, different embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 5 to 14 will be described. In the description of these examples,
The same components as those of the embodiment of the present invention are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, the main difference from the embodiment of the present invention is in the mixing step 1A, which comprises mixing konjak powder 2 and water 3 as shown in FIG. Vitamin agents, seasonings 13 such as sugar and fruit juice are mixed in a predetermined ratio of 40 to 80 and mixed evenly with a mixer 4 etc. to make edible ink 5A containing vitamin agents and seasonings. Thus, by performing the mixing step 1A in this manner to form the edible ink 5A containing the vitamin agent and the seasoning, a thin edible sheet containing the vitamin agent and the seasoning can be manufactured.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8, the main difference from the embodiment of the present invention is the mixing step 1B, which comprises mixing konjak powder 2 and water 3 as shown in FIG. A predetermined amount of edible colorant 14 such as food coloring is mixed in a ratio of 1 to 40 to 80 and mixed uniformly with a mixer 4 or the like to make a colored edible ink 5B. In this way, the mixing step 1B is performed. By forming the colored edible ink 5B in line, a colored thin colored edible sheet of each color can be manufactured.

9 to 12 is different from the above-described embodiment of the present invention mainly in the edible sheet forming step 6A. The edible sheet forming step 6A uses the edible ink 5 to reduce the thickness of the edible sheet. After forming the edible sheet 7, a coloring ink is formed on the edible sheet 7.
Characters and patterns 15 and the like using 5B are formed in the printing step 10A for characters and patterns by the screen printing method, and by performing the edible sheet forming step 6A by such a method, thin characters and patterns The edible sheet 7A can be manufactured.

In addition, this edible sheet 7A with thin characters and patterns is a colored edible ink 5B, an edible ink 5 containing vitamins and seasonings.
A, edible ink 5 or two or more types of edible ink containing vitamins, seasonings and colorings are used to perform thin film printing step 10 and drying step 11 several times to obtain characters and patterns.
It is possible to manufacture various edible sheets 7A with various thin characters and patterns in which 15 and the like are located inside, or located on the front and back surfaces.

13 and 14 is different from the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention mainly in that a brush, a blade 16 and the like are provided on a peelable plate 8 such as a polycarbonate plate using the edible ink 5. The thin film forming step 10B for forming a thin film using and the edible sheet forming step 6B in which the drying step 11 is performed at least once after the thin film forming step 10B are performed. Step 6B may be performed to produce the edible sheet 7.

"Effects of the Present Invention" As is clear from the above description, the following effects can be obtained in the present invention.

(1) The edible ink formed by mixing at least a mixture of konjak flour and water in a ratio of 1 to 40 to 80 with a mixer or the like is printed into a thin sheet by a screen printing method, and then dried. Is performed at least once, it is possible to manufacture a thin edible sheet whose main component is konjac flour.

(2) According to the above (1), it is possible to easily form an even thin edible sheet.

(3) According to the above (1), since no special equipment or work is used, it can be carried out relatively easily.

(4) According to (1) above, since an edible sheet can be formed using an edible ink containing an edible colorant and a seasoning, various edible sheets can be produced and the field of use can be expanded. .
