Coated Raw Materials

Our range of fat coated organic and inorganic raw materials come under the trade name of Capolan®.


Fat coating raw materials increases the protection against humidity and moisture absorption (hydroscopicity), reduces dust formation and can prevent chemical reactions with other ingredients, e.g. sugar reacting with malic or citric acid and forming sticky inverted sugar.

Uncoated acids tend to be absorbed quickly into the confectionery (known as migration) such as in chewy sweets or gummy laces etc.

 

Materials likely to be fat coated are ingredients such as Malic acid, Citric acid,Castor sugar, Sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, Tartaric acid and Granulated sugar,which  are sprinkled on gums, jellies and extruded strips.
 Additional applications could be the use of coated ingredients in confectionery centres or chewing gum balls filled with acids or sherbet.

 

Capolan®. Products can be applied by either, conventional or special purpose machinery and our team of dedicated food technicians are always happy to discuss your needs and advise you accordingly.
