Abstract

This edible conductive structure includes a conductive layer including an edible conductive material and a hydrophobic layer including an edible hydrophobic material. The conductive layer and the hydrophobic layer are alternately stacked. The lowermost layer and the uppermost layer (surface layer) can be the hydrophobic layer. The conductive material can be, for example, an edible metal foil such as gold foil or silver foil. The hydrophobic material can be composed of, for example, an organogel obtained by mixing beeswax and olive oil.

Claims (21)

1 - 6 . (canceled)

7 . An edible conductive structure comprising:

one or more conductive layers that each include an edible conductive material; and

one or more hydrophobic layers that each include an edible hydrophobic material, wherein the one or more conductive layers and the one or more hydrophobic layers are alternately stacked.

8 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 7 , wherein the edible hydrophobic material is composed of an organogel.

9 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 7 , wherein each of the one or more hydrophobic layers is composed of the edible hydrophobic material and a conductive material.

10 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 9 , wherein the conductive material is a powder of at least one of activated carbon, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, silver, or gold.

11 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 9 , wherein the edible hydrophobic material is a fat.

12 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 11 , wherein the fat is one of fat of meat, lard, corn oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, chocolate, butter, or margarine.

13 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 7 , further comprising a substrate on which the one or more conductive layers and the one or more hydrophobic layers are disposed, wherein the substrate is composed of an edible material.

14 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 13 , wherein the substrate is capable of decomposition in water.

15 . An edible conductive structure comprising:

an edible substrate; and

a multilayer stack made of alternating stacked edible conductive layers and edible hydrophobic layers, wherein the multilayer stack is disposed on the edible substrate.

16 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 15 , wherein the edible hydrophobic layers are each made of an organogel.

17 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 15 , wherein each of the edible hydrophobic layers is composed of an edible hydrophobic material and a conductive material.

18 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 17 , wherein the conductive material is a powder of at least one of activated carbon, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, silver, and gold.

19 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 17 , wherein the edible hydrophobic material is a fat.

20 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 19 , wherein the fat is one of fat of meat, lard, corn oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, chocolate, butter, or margarine.

21 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 15 , wherein the edible substrate is decomposable in water.

22 . The edible conductive structure according to claim 15 , wherein a uppermost layer of the multilayer stack and a lowermost layer of the multilayer stack are each one of the edible hydrophobic layers.
