We claim:
1. Film-forming solution comprising an aqueous dissolution of methylcellulose in a
concentration by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution between 0.5%
and 6%, where the methylcellulose has a viscosity between 100 cP and 1000 cP,
measured in a solution at 2% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution,
using a Brookfield DV2T viscometer at 25ºC with spindle No. 1, and with a rotational
speed of 60 rpm.
2. Film-forming solution according to claim 1 characterized in that it also comprises a
polysaccharide different from methylcellulose in a range between 0.1% and 5% by
weight with respect to the total weight of the solution.
3. Film-forming solution according to claim 2 characterized in that the polysaccharide
is selected from: alginate, pectin, gum arabic, xanthan gum, dextrin, starch and their
combinations.
4. Film-forming solution according to any of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that it also
comprises a plasticizing agent in a concentration between 1% and 20% by weight with
respect to the total weight of the solution.
5. Film-forming solution according to claim 4 characterized in that the plasticizing
agent is selected from: glycerin, sorbitol, or propylene glycol and their combinations.
6. Film-forming solution according to any of claims 1 to 5 characterized in that the
methylcellulose has a viscosity between 300 cP and 560 cP, measured in a solution
at 2% by weight with respect to the total weight of the solution, using a Brookfield
DV2T viscometer at 25ºC with spindle Nº1, and with a rotational speed of 60 rpm.
7. Edible spice transfer film, characterized in that it comprises:
a) a layer comprising methylcellulose, soluble in water, with a viscosity between 100
cP and 1000 cP, measured in a 2% solution by weight with respect to the total weight
of the solution, using a Brookfield DV2T viscometer at 25ºC with the spindle No. 1,
and with a rotational speed of 60 rpm, and
b) a layer of spices on or integrated into the layer comprising methylcellulose.
8. Edible film according to claim 7, characterized in that the viscosity is between 300
cP - 560 cP.
9. Edible film according to any of claims 7 or 8 characterized in that the layer
comprising methylcellulose also comprises a polysaccharide different from
methylcellulose.
10. Edible film according to claim 9 characterized in that the polysaccharide is
selected from: alginate, pectin, gum arabic, xanthan gum, dextrin, starch and their
combinations.
