Application No. 08/375,456
1. A process for providing a wax coating to particles which contain
or are coated with sugar, comprising:
(a) applying to the particles an emulsion coating having
a wax-containing internal phase and an aqueous
external phase, and which is substantially free of
sugars;
(b) without drying the particles, applying a powdered
wax coating to the emulsion-coated particles;
(c) tumbling the particles to polish the wax coating; and
(d) drying the polished particles.
14. A process for providing a polished wax coating to particles,
comprising:
(a) placing the particles in an inclined rotating pan;
(b) applying a sugar coating to the particles by spraying
thereon a sugar syrup, as the pan rotates;
(c) without removing the particles from the pan, applying
as the pan rotates an aqueous-continuous emulsion
having wax in the internal phase, the emulsion being
substantially free of sugars;
(d) without drying the particles, and without removing the
particles from the pan, applying a powdered wax
coating to the emulsion-coated particles;
(e) without removing the particles from the pan, rotating
the pan to cause tumbling of the powder- coated
