Coatings – advanced tools
What is coating?
Coatings are applied to the surface of a core material to provide specific
benefits. These coatings form a layer around crystalline materials and are usually
transparent or semitransparent, thus optically not visible on the coated ingredient.
The coating process, also called encapsulation, modifies the physical properties
of the encapsulated product. The coating provides technological benefits during
manufacturing, storage, use, or consumption of the processed food product.
Specific encapsulation techniques and materials, as well as the activity of the core
material, provide a broad range of tailor-made coating products and a fine-tuning
of the desired properties for customer applications.

Citro DC
Citro DC is the direct compressible type of citric acid. A thin layer of glucose on
the surface improves both processing speed for tablets and enhances tablet
hardness. It is also suitable for products where fat is undesired, e.g. in blends
with water-soluble ingredients.

Citro DC shows superiour tablet hardness and increased pressing force leads to harder tablets
CITROCOAT® N
CITROCOAT® N is based on citric acid as core material, with a layer
of a citrate as shell material. In the dry state, it is less hygroscopic and
less reactive with other ingredients compared to regular citric acid.
When dissolved in water, however, it behaves like uncoated acid.
