Abstract

An emulsion which provides an edible moisture barrier coating for foods is prepared by homogenizing from about 70% to about 95% by weight of an aqueous solution of a protein isolate and from about 30% to about 5% by weight of a mixture of a saturated lipid and emulsifier, each weight being based upon the weight of the emulsion. The saturated lipid employed has a melting point higher than 30.degree. C. The emulsifier is in an amount of from about 5% to about 30% by weight based upon the weight of the lipid and contains at least one diacetyl tartaric acid ester of a monoglyceride.
