Stabilization of Dragee Centers with Quick Coat

Brittle edges and surfaces as well as stains on the product surface can be avoided through a pre-treatment of the centers (also known as corpus). Especially non-spherical, angular, unstable and uneven dragée-centers such as almonds, cornflakes or puffed extrudates can be challenging materials for coating-processes. Equally difficult are particularly soft and sour dragée-centers such as dried fruits or jellies.

The more even and the smoother the surface of the respective center, the easier it will be to obtain the ideal surface. Discolorations, stains (e.g. “Fat Bloom”) or cracks occur if oil, acid or humidity from the center finds its ways into the coating layers.

Smooth surfaces with Quick Coat

 Norevo’s Quick Coat is a universally applicable gumming agent that increases the center stability and decreases migration risks at the same time. It smoothens and unifies the center surface and builds a barrier against migration of oil, acid and humidity around the center. Additionally, Quick Coat improves the adhesion between the center and the coating layers and reinforces the dragée stability against mechanical stress. The result is an optimal product with an even and shiny surface, covered edges and long lasting stability. Quick Coat is available in certified organic quality.
