Disclosed herein are methods of disposing compositions (e.g., flavor compositions) onto the surface of one or more substrates and, in particular edible substrates such as chewing gums. Also disclosed herein are substrates, such as chewing gums, onto which have been disposed the compositions and/or flavorings.

A method of forming a comestible is provided including transporting the comestible to a dusting apparatus having an enclosed chamber. A dusting agent within the enclosed chamber is directed onto one or more surfaces of the comestible as the comestible passes through the enclosed chamber.

The present invention relates to the use of porous starch as bulking agent in a chewing gum. The present invention also relates to a process of fabricating the chewing gum and to a chewing gum composition comprising porous starch as bulking agent.

The present invention provides a non-swallowed, antacid chewing gum tablet comprising various antacid components with improved organoleptic properties. The invention also provides an extrusion process for obtaining the non-swallowed, antacid chewing gum tablet as well as the use of the extruded chewing gum tablet as an antacid medicament, and for the prevention and/or the treatment of antacid diseases.

Methods for the production of a confectionery product having a sugar-free coating covering include applying an isomalt-containing coating medium to at least one confectionery core to obtain a coating layer enveloping the core, sprinkling at least one powdered rice starch isomalt composition onto the coating layer core to obtain a coating film, and crystallizing the coating film. The methods include applying the isomalt-containing coating medium to the at least one coating film to obtain at least one further coating layer, sprinkling the at least one powdered rice starch isomalt composition onto the further coating layer to obtain a further coating film, and crystallizing the further coating film. The method includes applying the isomalt-containing coating medium at least once to further coating film to obtain at least one further coating layer without subsequent sprinkling of the at least one powdered rice starch isomalt composition onto the coating layer.

The present invention relates to a coated edible product comprising a core and a coating, wherein the coating comprises a pregelatinized starch from rice, potato or tapioca as well as a process for the preparation of said coated edible product.

A composition for coating confectionary and/or surfaces of food processing machines. The composition includes 60% to 99.09% by weight, based on a total amount of the composition, of an oil. The composition further includes 0.05% to 40% by weight, based on the total amount of the composition, of rice bran wax.

Provided is a control method of a coating device that can perform coating of coating targets well. The control method of a coating device includes a coating tank (25) which includes a drum (28A) having a cylindrical shape and rotatable, and a disk (38A) having a dish shape and disposed to close a lower end of the drum (28A) and rotatable coaxially with the drum (28A). The method executes a first rotation process of setting a posture of the coating tank (25) in a standing posture in which a rotation axis of the coating tank (25) is directed in a vertical direction, rotating the drum (28A) in one direction, and rotating the disk (38A) in the other direction, and a second rotation process of setting a posture of the coating tank (25) in an inclined posture in which the rotation axis is inclined with respect to the vertical direction and rotating the drum (28A) and the disk (38A) in the one direction.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for processing a hard gum base, comprising: humidifying or heat treating the hard gum base before an extrusion or cutting stage, wherein the humidification or heat treatment to reduce the hardness of the gum composition; and putting the gum base into a heated or humidified state in a short enough time before the extrusion or cutting happens so that the gum is in a softer state than it otherwise would be.
