Edible or potable substances can be transported in biodegradable vessel.

A coating composition includes, in relation to 100% of the weight thereof: between 10 and 90 wt. % of at least one film-forming polymer selected from cellulosic polymers or derivatives of cellulosic polymers, derivatives of vinyl alcohol, derivatives of vinyl pyrrolidones, polymers of a natural origin, acrylic or methacrylic derivatives, derivatives of glycol or propylene glycol or combinations of the two substances or the copolymers of vinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol (PEG); between 1 and 50 wt. % of at least one food colouring agent; and between 0 and 50 wt. % of at least one auxiliary coating agent selected from white opacifiers, diluents, surfactants, plasticizers, and anti-foaming agents.

The present disclosure is directed to a container including a first section, a second section and a ridge formed of a plurality of bollards projecting from one of the first or second section. The container including a plurality of receptacles formed by the orientation of the bollards with respect to each other.

A method for obtaining cochineal wax is provided which comprises (a) harvesting cochineal insects from an artificial medium inoculated with the insects; (b) extracting cochineal wax from the insects with a liquid medium; and (c) isolating cochineal wax from the liquid medium.

A film coating composition comprising a cellulosic polymer, an opacifying agent, and a fatty acid is disclosed herein. Also disclosed is a film coating composition comprising a cellulosic polymer, an opacifying agent, a plasticizing agent, and a polyol. The disclosed film coating compositions may be mixed with a solvent to produce a film coating suspension. The film coating suspension can be applied to a substrate, such as a nutritional supplement, pharmaceutical, tablet, capsule, softgel, granule, particle, food confectionary form, agricultural seed, and the like to form a film coating on the substrate. Methods of coating a substrate with the film coating suspensions are also provided.

A system for the automated coating of baked good with a water based icing is provided. In particular, a system for the automated movement of icing and controls of variables such as temperature, moisture, and/or flow rate of the icing is provided to maintain the characteristics of the icing for extended periods of operation of an associated coating system.

The invention relates to a kitchen appliance, especially a food printer, and a method for printing food in 2- or 3-dimensional shapes. The food printer for making 2- or 3-dimensional shapes comprising a housing, an opening for printable food and binder, a control unit, and a printer head, wherein the printer head prints small drops of the printable food and the binder while moving to build the 2- or 3-dimensional shape.

A method of forming a material structure from structural units contained within a liquid solution in a spray head is described. The liquid solution includes a solvent and a solute, the solute comprising a plurality of the structural units, the structural units including monomer units, oligomer units, or combinations thereof. The method comprises forming droplets of the liquid solution including the structural units, and spraying the droplets on a substrate, thereby substantially increasing the reactivity of the structural units within the droplets relative to the structural units within the liquid solution in the spray head. The increase in reactivity can result from the droplets containing an excess of a particular ion, the ion excess resulting from a voltage applied to conductive walls of the device which dispenses the droplets. The material structure is then formed on the substrate from the more highly reactive structural units within the droplets.
