What is enrobing in food?

Enrobing is a process in which a food product is coated with a layer of another substance, such as chocolate, syrup, or glaze. The enrobing process can be done by hand or by machine.

Here are the steps involved in enrobing a food product:

1. The food product is placed on a conveyor belt or in a rotating drum.

2. The coating material is heated and melted until it is liquid.

3. The food product is passed through the liquid coating material or a waterfall of the coating.

4. The excess coating material is removed by passing the food product through a series of scrapers or brushes, allowing only a thin layer to adhere to the food product

5. The enrobed food product is then cooled to solidify the coating.

Enrobing is used to add flavor, texture, and protection to food products. It can also be used to create decorative effects. Some common enrobed food products include:

* Chocolate-covered strawberries

* Candy-coated nuts

* Cookies dipped in frosting

* Ice cream bars dipped in chocolate

Enrobing is a versatile process that can be used to create a variety of delicious and attractive food products.
