comment How can I make a carob coating?
Most baking, cooking, or health food type stores will have them. I think I even saw some in the craft stores like Michael's or JoAnn Fabric that have candy making stuff. Of you can order online. They are made up of palm kernel oil and soy lecithin.

comment Making juice from fresh fruit
Its not a claim. I have done the research, in a lab, using the test equipment. Take a look at an orange and cut one open. Where is the juice stored? Juice companies for years have used enzymes to aid in the cell wall destruction to maximize the yield of juice production. Even something as simple as using citric acid (yes lemon juice) can help with some juice extraction. Want to learn more? Try the experiments yourself. www-saps.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/worksheets/scotland/fruit.htm As most of us do not have the enzymes laying around, mechanical separation is the next best thing.

comment Combining hot melted sugar with cold liquid ingredients
The flour actually acts like a thickener. Think about when you make gravy. Cooking it allows the starches to expand and hold the liquid when it is added. Mixing it before hand makes sure that it is evenly integrated with the sugar. Once the flour expands it makes it harder to get the sugar evenly distributed.
