Abstract
The resistivity properties of an edible base liquid, e.g., a vegetable oil or fluid fat, can be modified by the addition of certain flavoring, coloring, or stabilizing agents such as antioxidants, and if necessary or desirable also an organic diluent, so as to provide an edible liquid flavoring, coloring, or stabilizing composition which is suitable for electrostatic charging and deposition upon an edible food substrate in a uniform and controlled manner. Edible liquid compositions suitable for electrostatic deposition upon an edible food substrate, a method for such deposition, the thus-treated or coated edible food product, and a method for the adjustment and control of the resistivity of an edible material base liquid by the addition thereto of one or more resistivity modifiers, which may be a food-grade flavor or seasoning, coloring, or stabilizer, and if necessary or desirable also an organic diluent, all of the essential ingredients of the composition, method, and edible food product being themselves food-grade edible and ingestible materials, are disclosed.
