A PROCESS FOR MAKING A FREE-FLOWING, DUST-FREE, COLD WATER DISPERSIBLE, EDIBLE, FILM-COATING COMPOSITION

摘要

Improved edible film-coating compositions are prepared by mixing a film-forming polymer with a plasticizer and water to obtain an extrudable polymer blend containing from 20 to 60 percent water, extruding the blend into strands, drying and milling the strands. The compositions are free-flowing, dust-free and readily dispersible in cold water, and are useful in pharmaceutical, confectionery and food applications.
