Coatings – advanced tools

Jungbunzlauer’s coating experience of over 20 years has led to a broad


range of products to satisfy customer needs for sophisticated food
ingredients and additives.

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.

Range of coating materials


In some applications, water soluble materials, e.g. water soluble carbohydrates
(maltodextrines, spray dried glucose syrup), provide the needed functionality.
Another form of modification for improved performance can be a small layer of
a citrate on the surface of citric acid to prevent any undesired reaction during
storage. Typically, the coating content ranges from 1 to 5 % by weight.

Another aim of the Jungbunzlauer coating technology is to make active substances


hydrophobic by encapsulating them with edible fats. These taste- and odourless
fats display high chemical and physical stability as a coating material
and originate from plant sources. Both the type of
coating material and the concentration at which
the coating layer is applied to the core
material, have an important influence
on the functionality of the coated
product. Generally, the coating
content can range from
approx. 3 % to 40 %.

Particle size distribution


In addition to the type and
the content of the coating
material, the selection of
the particle size distribution
of the core material
determines the functionality
of the encapsulated product.
Generally, fine particles lead
to a thin coating layer due to
the high specific surface area,
and vice versa.

Functional Citrics

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.

Applications

Main applications in which the


functional citrics are processed:

■ Pharmaceutical applications
(e.g. effervescent tablets)
■ Food applications (e.g. effervescent
tablets, instant drinks, sweets)
■ Health care (e.g. bath bombs, dental
cleaners)
■ Detergents (e.g. laundry powders
and tabs, dish washing tabs, and
cleaners)

Benefits to our Customers

Depending on the customer’s needs, the benefits can be summarised as follows:

■ protection of encapsulated particles ■ better behaviour in the production ■ improvement of production


against moisture, micro-organisms, process (less stickiness, less off- capacity due to higher speed in
or oxygen spec production) tablet pressing
■ omission or postponement of
investments (de-bottlenecking by
better processability)
■ improvement of free-flowing
characteristics
■ reduction of dust development
■ specific time- or temperature-
Effervescence effects… controlled release of the core
Effective effervescent material
■ prevention of undesired reactions
with other ingredients
■ homogeneous distribution of low-
concentrated substances (both

premixes
■ better end product quality (less
caking, harder tablets, enhanced
shelf life)
■ penetration of new markets –
improved robustness of end
products opening better
possibilities with respect to
storage and transport
