Abstract
Description
Werkwi.ize voor het aanbrengen van een opschrift of afbeelding op een vast voedingsmiddelWerkwi.ize for applying an inscription or image on a solid food
De uitvinding heeft betrekking op het aanbrengen van opschriften, afbeeldingen en dergelijke op voedingsmiddelen. In dat verband is het bekend om op het oppervlak van het voedingsmiddel tekens in reliëf aan te brengen. Bij het produceren van dergelijke voedingsmiddelen gebruikt men meestal vormen die een negatief van dat reliëf bezitten. Het voedingsmiddel wordt in vloeibare of pasteuze toestand in de vorm gebracht, zodanig dat het oppervlak daarvan het gewenste reliëf verkrijgt. Het kan daarbij zowel gaan om een reliëf dat uitsteekt met betrekking tot het oppervlak van het voedingsmiddel, als een verdiept reliëf.The invention relates to the application of inscriptions, images and the like to foodstuffs. In that connection, it is known to apply embossed characters to the surface of the foodstuff. In the production of such foods, one usually uses shapes which have a negative of that relief. The foodstuff is molded in a liquid or pasty state such that its surface obtains the desired relief. This can be a relief that protrudes with respect to the surface of the foodstuff, as well as a deepened relief.
Gevolg van deze wijze van het aanbrengen van tekens op een voedingsmiddel is dat voor elk verschillend teken een aparte vorm nodig is. In een machine voor het op deze wijze produceren van voedingsmiddelen komt een aantal vormen voor, die verwisseld kunnen worden in verband met het produceren van voedingsmiddelen met verschillende opschriften. Voor het produceren van produkten met andere opschriften moeten deze vormen verwisseld worden, hetgeen tijdrovend en kostbaar is gezien de grote aantallen verschillende vormen die daartoe op voorraad moeten worden gehouden.As a result of this way of applying signs to a food, it is necessary for each different sign to have a separate shape. In a food-producing machine in this manner, there are a number of forms which can be interchanged in connection with the production of foods bearing various inscriptions. In order to produce products with other inscriptions, these shapes have to be exchanged, which is time consuming and expensive, given the large number of different shapes that have to be kept in stock for this purpose.
Het achteraf aanbrengen van een teken in een gereed, verhard voedingsmiddel uit chocola en dergelijke is tot nu toe niet goed mogelijk, aangezien daardoor de kwaliteit en het uiterlijk van het produkt nadelig worden beïnvloed.It has hitherto not been possible to place a mark afterwards in a ready, hardened foodstuff of chocolate and the like, since this adversely affects the quality and appearance of the product.
Het doel vein de uitvinding is daarom een werkwijze te verschaffen die de nadelen van de stand van de techniek opheft. De uitvinding betreft daartoe het aanbrengen van een teken, zoals een opschrift, afbeelding en dergelijke op een voedingsmiddel in vaste toestand, zoals chocolade, imitatiechocolade, couverture, bakwaren (ovengebakken deegprodukten) zoals biskwie, wafels en dergelijke, omvattende het blootstellen van het voedingsmiddel aan lichtstraling en/of energiestraling, zoals laserstraling, waarbij het voedingsmiddel plaatselijk zodanig verwarmd wordt dat op die plaats een visueel waarneembare structuurverandering van het voedingsmiddel optreedt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method which obviates the drawbacks of the prior art. The invention therefore relates to the application of a mark, such as an inscription, image and the like, to a foodstuff in a solid state, such as chocolate, imitation chocolate, couverture, baked goods (oven-baked dough products) such as biskwie, waffles and the like, comprising exposing the foodstuff to light radiation and / or energy radiation, such as laser radiation, in which the food is locally heated in such a way that a visually perceptible structural change of the food occurs at that location.
De structuurverandering van het oppervlak van het produkt, die optreedt bij blootstelling aan een laserstraling is het gevolg van een fysisch danwel chemisch proces. In het geval van chocolade en imitatiechocolade treedt daarbij plaatselijk opnieuw smelten op van het reeds gekristalliseerde materiaal. Na het smelten vindt een ongecontroleerde kristallisatie plaats. Aan het oppervlak van het produkt zijn daarmee kristallen verkregen die groter zijn dan de golflengte van licht en daardoor visueel, in de vorm van een teken zoals een opschrift of afbeelding, kunnen worden waargenomen.The structural change of the surface of the product, which occurs when exposed to a laser radiation, is the result of a physical or chemical process. In the case of chocolate and imitation chocolate, local melting of the already crystallized material occurs. An uncontrolled crystallization takes place after melting. Crystals larger than the wavelength of light are thus obtained on the surface of the product and can therefore be visually observed in the form of a sign such as an inscription or image.
Ook bij bakwaren treedt een dergelijk effect op. De fysische of chemische verandering aan het oppervlak van zo'n produkt kan tot een lichtere danwel donkerdere kleur leiden.Such an effect also occurs with baked goods. The physical or chemical change on the surface of such a product can lead to a lighter or darker color.
Voor het uitvoeren van de werkwijze volgens de uitvinding kunnen verschillende op de markt verkrijgbare laserbronnen worden gebruikt. Zo kan een dotmatrix laserprinter worden toegepast. Als alternatief kan een beamlaser printer worden toegepast. Dergelijke printers zijn reeds in gebruik voor het aanbrengen van beschrifting en codering op de omverpakking van produkten zoals voedingsmiddelen.Various commercially available laser sources can be used to carry out the method according to the invention. For example, a dot matrix laser printer can be used. Alternatively, a beam laser printer can be used. Such printers are already in use for writing and coding on the outer packaging of products such as foodstuffs.
