摘要

Dried fruit provided with an edible coating and procedure for obtaining it. The dried fruit provided with an edible coating comprises a dried fruit, and at least one coating layer of said dried fruit comprising an edible film, said film comprising an edible compound selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, Ethylmethylcellulose, gum arabic, maltodextrin, a lipid, and mixtures thereof. The edible coating acts as a protection that extends the shelf life of the dried fruit and, potentially, also serves as a support for additives that modify the original characteristics of the dried fruit.
