Coating cashew nuts|690x360
Hi,
I am having a problem of spice coating from cashews coming off after packaging.
We are using coconut oil to coat the spices after dry roasting.
After packing the spices are dropping to the bottom of the package leaving the cashews flavourless
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Do you advise to use Arabic gum?

oil is not a good choice.
try a gum as gum arabic. you need a sticky agent because.
