Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a coating composition for baking paper, a coated baking paper comprising the coating composition, a method for preparing the coated baking paper and the use of the coated baking paper.

[0002] In order to provide images, texts, etc. to edible products, transfer sheets may be used. Conventional sheets for transferring images, texts, etc. to edible products are usually made of plastic. After use, the plastic is discarded and may generate an undesirable amount of plastic waste.

[0003] Another option for providing images, text, etc. to edible products is to use transfer sheets of cellulose or chocolate. The disadvantage of these types of transfer sheets is that they are designed for single use. In addition, the sheets are fragile and may break easily. Therefore, cellulose sheets or chocolate sheets are not very suitable for use in a production environment.

[0004] These problems prevent efficient and effective transfer sheets for images, text, etc. This problem is even greater for large-scale use of transfer sheets.

[0005] The present invention aims to eliminate or at least reduce the above-mentioned problems and enable efficient and effective transfer of images, text and the like to edible substrates.

[0006] This object is achieved by a coating composition for baking paper comprising fat, amorphous starch, sugar and / or sugar substitute, an emulsifier and a wax.

[0007] It should be noted that the coating composition according to the invention can be used to coat baking paper. Said paper is based on a cellulose-based composite which has been processed to give it additional properties such as non-stickiness, grease and moisture resistance.

[0008] Furthermore, throughout this application, baking paper may also be referred to as parchment paper, vegetable parchment paper or wax paper.

[0009] It should also be noted that throughout this application, amorphous starch may refer to fermented starch. Therefore, the starch provided to the coating composition according to the present invention is fermented. In other words, starch is first added to the coating composition and then fermented to form amorphous starch.

[0010] The coating composition according to the invention is suitable for human consumption. Thus, the coating composition according to the invention can be used in edible products or for providing prints, for example, to edible products. The coating composition according to the invention can, for example, be provided to baking paper so that the baking paper can be used as a transfer sheet / carrier for prints of edible products.

[0011] Therefore, an advantage of the coating composition according to the invention is that it enables a sustainable and flexible transfer sheet of print transferred to an edible product.In fact, the coating composition according to the invention reduces the amount of plastic used to produce the transfer sheet.

[0012] In addition, the coating composition according to the present invention can also use a firm transfer sheet for printing transferred to edible products. In fact, the coating composition according to the present invention can realize a flexible transfer sheet. Therefore, the coating composition according to the present invention can provide printing to curved objects in an efficient and effective manner.

[0013] Another advantage of the coating composition according to the invention is that the transfer sheet / carrier comprising the print to be provided to the edible substrate may be reusable. Hence, less waste is generated.
