  • Compositions and methods for coating surfaces of confectionery products with electrostatically charged powders
    Publication number: 20060147585
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for applying an electrostatic charge to powders and applying the charged powders to the surfaces of food products, especially confectionery products. The method can be used to reduce sticking of a product as it is being formed and to apply flavorings. The method reduces the amount of powder required to obtain suitable coatings and therefore reduces the amount of powder that is wasted in the coating process. The process is particularly well suited to the application of powders to gum surfaces.
