This article concerns coating applications in the food industry. There are many similarities between coating processes and numerous examples of technology transfer to and from the food industry. Coating in the food industry is the application of a layer of liquids or solids onto a product. The operation essentially relies on mechanical energy.

The materials used to wax produce depend to some extent on regulations in the country of production and/or export. Both natural waxes (carnauba, [12] shellac, beeswax or resin [4]) and petroleum-based waxes (usually proprietary formulae) [3] are used, and often more than one wax is combined to create the desired properties for the fruit or vegetable being treated.
A natural wax is chemically defined as an ester with a very long hydrocarbon chain that also includes a long chain alcohol. [2] Examples are: Stearic acid (E570) Beeswax (E901) Candelilla wax (E902) Carnauba wax (E903) Shellac (E904) Microcrystalline wax (E905c), Crystalline wax (E907) Lanolin (E913) Oxidized polyethylene wax (E914) Esters of ...
The cheese is dried for a few days before being coated with a yellow wax or plastic-like [citation needed] coating to prevent it from drying out. It is then aged, which hardens the cheese and develops its flavor. Dutch cheese makers generally use six gradations, or categories, to classify the cheese: Young cheese (4 weeks) Young matured (8–10 ...
Mozzarella sticks are prepared by coating cheese strings in breadcrumbs or batter. They may be baked or fried in oil. Mozzarella sticks are often served with tomato sauce or marinara sauce. However, they may be served with other dipping sauces such as plum sauce, jalapeño jelly, ketchup, barbecue sauce, honey mustard sauce, and ranch dressing ...
Wax emulsions based on beeswax, carnauba wax and paraffin wax are used in creams and ointments. The emergence of soybean waxes with varying properties and melt points has led to the use of vegetable wax emulsions in applications such as paper coatings, paint and ink additives, and even wet sizing for pulp and paper applications.
The coating known as seasoning is formed by a process of repeatedly layering extremely thin coats of oil on the cookware and oxidizing each layer with medium-high heat for a time. This process is known as "seasoning"; the color of the coating is commonly known as its "patina" - the base coat will darken with use. [9]
