What is the difference between coating and en robing?

Coating involves applying a layer of material, typically a thin film, to a surface for protection, flavor, or appearance, commonly seen in pharmaceuticals or confectionery. Enrobing, on the other hand, refers specifically to the process of completely covering a product, such as candy or baked goods, with a layer of chocolate or other coatings. While both processes enhance the product's qualities, enrobing implies a more thorough covering compared to the more general application of coating.
