Capture Coated Snacks Market with Centrifugal Action
Defined by their crunch, freshness, and flavour-some ingredients — coated snacks are created when food-based ingredients in the form of liquids (or solids) are sprayed onto a product to enhance its texture and taste. In addition to flavouring the product, coatings are also applied to help protect the primary ingredients of the product, and for decorative or product differentiation purposes, and to enhance shelf life. Coated snacks hold a significant market share in the global snacks market and consumers are drawn to experience the exciting taste, texture, and appearance of these products. Changing consumption patterns and a shift towards more sustainable, plant-based, and immunity-boosting products is increasing demand in this segment and processors must be ready to take advantage.

Printing, labelling, and coding: labelling without the labels
Consumers need to know what’s in their food and customers need to know what product they’re moving around their warehouse, but as technology advances what’s the role of traditional labels in the food chain?

We have in the past seen examples of lasers being used to print directly on to food. The next step being explored, for example, by Domino Printing Sciences has been to use laser technology to codes into films used on food products.
