Paradip KS1/KS2 is a system based on a 2-step coating operation. The first layer of Paradip KS1 is a food additive (acetoglyceride) and acts as a primer which absorbs the surface fat and moisture and thus provides for a good adhesion to cheese. The second layer of Paradip KS2 is a specially modified mineral cheese wax which gives a glossy (and colourful) appearance and a closed layer. Both layers are easily pealed off prior to consumption.
Further this system also enables coating directly after wet salting which gives a maturing in the final packaging.
Paradip KS1/KS2 has following advantages over mineral wax coatings:
- perfect results with soft and fat cheese;
- excellent adhesion of wax layer to the whole surface (no entrapped air/mould);
- excellent mechanical strength of wax layer even at sharp edges (no cracks);
- also single portions can be waxed (ready for sale);
- waxing non-matured cheese (final packaging before maturation)
Both Paradip Nowax and Paradip KS1/KS2 are patented cheese wax systems.
