Abstract

Foods are coated with powders to improve flavour and colour, and produce other desirable quality changes. The most common powder applied to foods is salt, though sweet and savoury seasoning blends are also popular, as are functional ingredients. The powder-coating process is influenced by powder properties such as size, shape, flowability, density and solubility. In this chapter, the major types of equipment, including screw-fed tubes, scarf-plate feeders, roll dispensers, conveyor belts, tumble drums and electrostatic coating are discussed. Common problems, such as surging and clogging during coating, dustiness, adhesion and shelf life are also covered.
