PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new packaging technique capable of packaging fresh foods such as harvested fruits and vegetables so that the good appearance, the transportability, and the display can be enhanced, and preventing the target product to be packaged such as fruits and vegetables from being damaged by oxidation, with an improved sugar content so as to improve the quality after harvesting.SOLUTION: A coating material 1 for food packaging as the basis of the invention includes a mixture of Poleha (R) 2, which contains polyphenol P and trehalose T in a predetermined weight ratio, and water W in a predetermined weight ratio, and a mixture of sodium alginate A and the water W in a predetermined weight ratio. A food packaging product 3 using the coating material 1 for food packaging includes a taste adjusting coating film layer region 4 in a thin film form of the coating material 1 for food packaging fixed to at least an appropriate range in contact with or proximate to a target product 8 to be packaged of a package 31.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 収穫後の果実や野菜などの生鮮食品類を、その外的美観や輸送性、陳列性などが高まるよう包装すると共に、包装後の果実や野菜など包装対象物の酸化傷害を防ぐ上、糖度を向上させて、収穫後に品質を高めることができる新たな包装技術を提供する。 【解決手段】 ポリフェノールPとトレハロースTとを所定重量比で含むポレハ(登録商標。)2を、ポレハ(登録商標。)2と水Wとが所定重量比、および、アルギン酸ナトリウムAを、アルギン酸ナトリウムAと前記水Wとが、所定重量比とするよう混合してなる、この発明の根幹をなす食品包装用塗料1を、包装体31の少なくとも包装対象物8に接するかまたは近接する適宜範囲に、薄膜層状に定着した呈味調整皮膜層域4を設けてなるものとした、食品包装用塗料1を利用した食品包装用品3である。【選択図】 図1
