Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of C09D11, and more specifically, to a solvent-based edible ink and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Edible ink is usually a special ink composed of water, alcohol solvents and edible pigments, with a variety of colors to choose from, such as black, yellow, magenta, cyan, etc. In order to improve the taste and flavor of edible ink, additives such as sweeteners and acidifiers are usually added to improve the "selling point" of the product. Edible ink has both the printable characteristics of traditional ink and the characteristics of being edible. The reasonable use of edible ink can complete the coding and labeling without affecting the quality of food.

[0003] When edible ink is used in a printing device for inkjet printing, in order to prevent the nozzle of the printing device from being clogged due to the edible ink volatilizing too quickly, more moisturizing solvents, such as water solvents, are often added to the edible ink. However, adding a large amount of moisturizing solvents will cause the edible ink to dry more slowly. Since cake foods themselves contain a lot of water, when edible ink is printed on such foods, the printed pattern will slowly diffuse and become blurred, affecting the appearance and shelf life of the food; at the same time, for products with high fat content or pure esters, such as pure chocolate, cocoa butter or fondant products, using this type of edible ink to directly print patterns often results in obvious ink aggregation, non-absorption, and non-coloring, resulting in poor printing effects, which is not conducive to the normal sales of the product.

[0004] For example, patent document CN100532473C discloses a water-based ink for inkjet printing on sweets, and its raw materials include, by mass percentage: 50.0wt%-85.0wt% water, 7.0wt%-35.0wt% ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, propylene glycol or a mixture thereof; 0.5wt%-15.0wt% edible colorant; 2.0wt%-40.0wt% edible adhesive system and 1.5wt%-8.0wt% dextrin or gum adhesive. Therefore, if the water-based edible ink is to be stably printed on the surface of food, additives such as adhesives are also required; however, too many additives will obviously have a certain impact on the safety and edibility of the product. Therefore, how to provide a solvent-based edible ink with less additives and high stability is an industry-wide technical problem. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the first aspect of the present invention provides a solvent-based edible ink, the preparation raw materials of which include: food flavoring auxiliary materials, edible flavor A, edible flavor B, and emulsified edible pigment.

[0006] As an implementable case, the raw materials for preparing the solvent-based edible ink include, by weight, 0.1-5 parts of food flavoring auxiliary materials, 10-50 parts of edible flavoring A, 30-50 parts of edible flavoring B, and 10-50 parts of emulsified edible coloring.

[0007] As an implementable case, the food flavor auxiliary materials include: one or more of isopropyl alcohol, mono- and di-glycerol fatty acid esters, polyglycerol fatty acid esters, caprylic and capric glyceride, shellac, phospholipids, and methyl phenethyl ether.

[0008] Furthermore, the food flavor auxiliary material includes: one of mono- and di-glycerol fatty acid esters, polyglycerol fatty acid esters, and methyl phenethyl ether, all of which can be purchased from Riken Vita Fine Chemical Food Industry Co., Ltd.

[0009] As an implementable case, the edible flavoring A includes one or more of n-hexanol, n-decanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, ethanol, n-pentanol, and isopentanol.

[0010] As an implementable case, the edible flavoring B includes one or more of undecanol, dodecanol, benzyl alcohol, phenylethyl alcohol, and phenylpropanol.

[0011] Furthermore, in the solvent-based edible ink, the amount of edible flavoring B used is 1.5 times or more of the amount of edible flavoring A used.

[0012] In the present invention, flavoring agent A is a volatile quick-drying solvent, mainly including fatty alcohols with less than 10 carbon atoms; flavoring agent B is a non-volatile moisturizing solvent, mainly including fatty alcohols with more than 10 carbon atoms or aromatic alcohols containing benzene rings; wherein flavoring agent A is a quick-drying solvent, which can ensure that the pattern printed by the edible ink will not have the phenomenon of ink aggregation or ink dispersion; but it is easy to cause the edible ink to clog the nozzle of the printing device during the printing process, and the printing fluency is significantly reduced; the addition of flavoring agent B moisturizing solvent can avoid the situation of the nozzle of the printing device being clogged during the printing process, and improve the printing fluency, but the single-component flavoring agent B will cause the phenomenon of ink aggregation, and the aesthetics of the printed pattern will be seriously reduced; therefore, the present invention preferably compounded flavoring agents A and B, which can avoid the phenomenon of ink aggregation while ensuring the printing fluency; but at the same time, it is necessary to limit the amount of flavoring agent B to more than twice the amount of flavoring agent A, so as to achieve the optimal balance between high fluency printing and high stability of the coating, otherwise ink aggregation will still occur.

[0013] As an implementable case, the raw materials for preparing the emulsified edible pigment include: edible pigment, water, edible flavoring, and food flavoring auxiliary materials.

[0014] As an implementable case, in the preparation raw materials of the emulsified edible pigment, the mass ratio of edible pigment, water, edible flavoring, and food flavoring auxiliary materials is (1-5): (10-40): (10-30): (40-50).

[0015] Furthermore, in the emulsified food coloring, the food flavoring includes food flavoring A and / or food flavoring B.

[0016] As an practicable example, the preparation method of the emulsified food coloring comprises:

[0017] (1) dissolving the food coloring in water under heating in a water bath to obtain solution A;

[0018] (2) mixing and stirring the edible flavor and the food flavor auxiliary material under heating in a water bath to obtain solvent B;

[0019] (3) Under the condition of water bath heating, solution A is added into solvent B, and stirred at 5000-10000 rpm to mix evenly.

[0020] The edible inks commonly found on the market currently have a high water content, and edible pigments are easily soluble in water. Therefore, it is difficult for edible inks with edible pigments to form highly stable patterns when printed on the surface of food with a high water content. Therefore, the present invention first dissolves the edible pigment in water, and then uses food flavoring auxiliary materials to emulsify and wrap it. The "oil-in-water" dispersant system can make the water-soluble edible pigments less soluble in water, and thus more stably exist in solvent-based edible inks. Even if the product is printed on the surface of food with a high water content, the printed pattern will not become mottled, thereby solving the technical problem of short shelf life of patterns printed by solvent-based edible inks on food with a high water content.

[0021] As an implementable case, the food coloring includes: one or more of brilliant blue, indigo, gardenia blue, lemon yellow, gardenia yellow, sunset yellow, allura red, carmine, beet red, erythrosine, red yeast rice, radish red, amaranth, and cochineal red.

[0022] Furthermore, the food coloring includes one or more of brilliant blue, lemon yellow, and carmine, all of which can be purchased from Guangzhou Senxin Flavors & Fragrances Co., Ltd.

[0023] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a solvent-based edible ink, comprising:

[0024] S1. Mixing and stirring: Mix food flavoring auxiliary materials, edible flavor A, and edible flavor B, stir at 100-400 rpm for 30-60 min, then add emulsified edible coloring, and stir at 500-800 rpm to fully mix;

[0025] S2, filtration: filtering the solution obtained in step S1 and collecting the filtrate;

[0026] S3, sterilization: The filtrate obtained in step S2 is sterilized at high temperature to obtain solvent-based edible ink.

[0027] Beneficial Effects

[0028] (i) All raw materials selected in the solvent-based edible ink of the present invention comply with the relevant provisions of GB 2760-2014 Food Additives Usage Standard and GB 30616 Food Flavors, and the product has high safety and can be used for printing on food surfaces.

[0029] (ii) The raw materials for preparing the solvent-based edible ink of the present invention include edible flavoring A and edible flavoring B; edible flavoring A is a volatile quick-drying solvent, and edible flavoring B is a non-volatile moisturizing solvent. The quick-drying solvent and the moisturizing solvent are compounded to ensure that the product has higher printing stability and is not prone to short-line nozzles during the printing process.

[0030] (III) The present invention further stipulates that the amount of edible flavoring B is 1.5 times or more of the amount of edible flavoring A, which can enable the solvent-based edible ink to achieve an optimal balance between high smoothness printing and high coating stability.

[0031] (iv) Since edible pigments have excellent water solubility, they can only be dissolved in water, but this will make it difficult for solvent-based edible inks to be printed on surfaces with high water content. Therefore, the present invention prepares edible pigments into emulsified edible pigments, and the "oil-in-water" dispersion system makes the edible pigments difficult to dissolve in water. Therefore, when solvent-based edible inks are printed on surfaces with high water content, the stability of the pattern formed is significantly improved.

[0032] (V) The solvent-based edible ink provided by the present invention has a relatively simple preparation method, can be industrially produced, will not clog the nozzle of the printer during printing, is not prone to ink aggregation, has good printing spreadability, and has excellent practical use effects.
