Food glazing agents are food additives used to give food a glossy, shiny, and attractive appearance. They are often used to coat fruits, vegetables, and confectionery items. Glazing agents are typically made from natural sources such as beeswax, carnauba wax, shellac, and paraffin wax. They are also available in synthetic forms such as polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl acetate. Glazing agents are used to improve the appearance of food, prevent moisture loss, and extend shelf life. Glazing agents are widely used in the food industry, particularly in the production of confectionery items, bakery products, and frozen foods. They are also used in the production of canned and processed foods. The use of glazing agents is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States.
