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 ?

Try some biopolymer like pectin coating it will provide a moisture barrier and won’t fall off from the product
