Abstract: A wax polish composition for coating pharmaceutical tablets and food/confectionery items to impart gloss thereto, comprises wax, water, and an emulsifier, the emulsifier comprising a combination of polyoxyethylene 80 sorbitan monolaurate and acetylated monoglyeride, the emulsifier being in a range of about 9.46% to 9.60% by weight of the composition, and the emulsifier having an HLB value of about 9.45.

Abstract: A method of coating substrates such as pharmaceutical tablets, food and confectionery forms, agricultural seeds and the like, with a protective film comprises the steps of mixing a cellulosic polymer, maltodextrin, and a plasticizer into water to form an aqueous coating suspension, spraying an effective amount of said coating suspension onto said substrates to form a film coating on said substrates, and drying the film coating on said substrates. Optionally, a detackifier, a secondary film former, a flow aid, and/or a colorant may be dispersed into the coating suspension before applying the coating suspension to the substrates. A dry powder edible film coating composition for use in pharmaceuticals, food and confectionery forms, agricultural seeds, and the like, comprises a dry mixture of a cellulosic polymer, maltodextrin, and a plasticizer. Optionally, the dry coating composition may include a detackifier, a secondary film former, a flow aid, and/or a colorant.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting fat and oil migration from an oily substrate of a food product into a coating layer of a food product, comprises the steps of mixing a shellac solution and an alcohol together to form a barrier coating solution, coating the oily substrate of the food product with an effective amount of the barrier coating solution to form a barrier coating layer of film surrounding the oily substrate, and covering the barrier coating layer of film with a coating layer of a food product.
