ABSTRACT:
A thin, edible moisture barrier consists essentially of oleaginous material and wax, and has a permeability value of less than 0.07.times.10.sup.-9 gm cm.sup.-2 (cm Hg).sup.-1 cm. At least a portion of the oleaginous material is synthetic. The barrier can be applied as a molten solution to a food product surface, cooling rapidly to form a continuous barrier that prevents the migration of moisture into, out of, or between components of the food product.
