The colour is added during which of the following steps in the sugar-coating process?
A
Subcoating
B
Polishing
C
Syrup coating
D
Seal coating
Correct Option:
C
Explanation
Colourants are introduced during the syruping/colouring stage of traditional sugar coating. Subcoating mainly builds up tablet size and rounds the edges. Seal coating protects the tablet core from moisture. Polishing with wax produces lustre. During syrup coating, progressively coloured syrup layers create the desired uniform appearance.
