Ready-to-Use Coatings
FloZein Vegan Glaze
For those who would prefer not to resolubilize Zein powder, we offer a RTU glaze. The glaze is mixed in a hydrous ethanol solution and is available in either a 10% or 15% Zein concentration.
Cozeen™ Vegan Coating for Nuts and Other Porous Materials
A ready-to-use proprietary formulation, Cozeen™ forms an elastic film around food particles, extending shelf-life and providing a nutritive, attractive coating.
Cozeen™ exhibits excellent moisture barrier properties. It is somewhat more hydrophobic than a simple Zein film. It will fill any possible micropores that can occur in an ultra-thin film, providing an almost impervious coating to air and moisture for porous products.
Cozeen™ meets the Department of Defense’s specification for nut coating which requires a shelf-life of three years stored at 80℉.
Cozeen™ is available in the following configurations:
300 Series: Contains responsibly sourced palm oil
200 Series: Contains coconut oil
Type N: Ready to use liquid, contains ethanol
Type NA: Ethanol-free paste, needs to be solubilized
PF: Preservative free (BHA and BHT)
Typical Applications
-
Coating porous foods like dried fruits, nuts, and nutritional bars.
-
Coating sticky products (like gummies) to facilitate packaging and reduce clumping.
