摘要：
Provided herein are methods and compositions for forming a coating on the external surface of a solid chocolate or chocolate-coated product. The method comprises applying at least one layer of a coating composition comprising a solvent selected from water, ethanol, and isopropanol, or any combination thereof and one or more film forming agents to the external surface of the product, and then drying the coating composition to provide a dried coating or film on the external surface of the chocolate. The dried coating renders the external surface of the chocolate more resistant to abrasion or scuffing during processing, packaging, storage, and/or transport. The coating composition of the present invention cures or dries in 30 minutes or less. In certain embodiments, the film or coating cures in 15 minutes or less. In certain embodiments, the film or coating cures in 10 minutes or less.
