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.
An enrober is a machine used in the confectionery industry to coat a food item with a coating medium, typically chocolate. Frequently enrobed foods include nuts, ice cream, toffee, chocolate bars, biscuits and cookies. In addition to its effects on the taste and mouthfeel, enrobing with chocolate extends a confection's shelf life. [1]

Apeel Sciences is an American food technology company based in Goleta, California.Its edible coating product Apeel or Edipeel [1] can make avocados, citrus and other types of fruit last twice as long as usual by using a tasteless edible coating, and reduces food loss and waste as well as reliance on single-use plastic packaging.
Not all non-stick pans use Teflon; other non-stick coatings have become available. For example, a mixture of titanium and ceramic can be sandblasted onto the pan surface, and then fired at 2,000 °C (3,630 °F) to produce a non-stick ceramic coating. [19] Ceramic nonstick pans use a finish of silica (silicon dioxide) to prevent sticking.
Seasoning is the process of coating the surface of cookware with fat which is heated in order to produce a corrosion resistant layer of polymerized fat. [1] [2] It is required for raw cast-iron cookware [3] and carbon steel, which otherwise rust rapidly in use, but is also used for many other types of cookware. An advantage of seasoning is that ...
Coatings, whether organic or inorganic, may lessen the interactions between metal and food. However, it was discovered that many of the chemicals in these coatings migrated into food. The end-of-life alternatives for metal food packaging differ depending on its usage: for example cans and lids can be broken down and recycled multiple times. [33]
