Common questions
No. It is applied like a non-aqueous film coat, so a single pan and a single dispersion replace the syrup, dusting and polishing stages. A conventional or auto coater is all that is required.
A single shift rather than the several days a traditional sugar process runs to, because the multi stage build-up is replaced by one film coating stage.
