Abstract
A coating syrup is made using an emulsion of an emulsifier and either an oil-based flavoring agent, a food acid or both. The emulsion may be used to coat comestibles, such as pellets of chewing gum. The emulsion helps to retain volatile flavors that may otherwise flash off during the coating operation.
