German term

abglänzen

German to English Tech/Engineering Food & Drink
I am translating a bakery document and the text refers to a list of various actions within the baking process that can be done with a jelly sprayer.

Gelieren, Abrikotieren und Abglaenzen.

Now I believe that this relates to gelatinising, glazing but am unsure of the last one.

Any ideas

I think aprikotieren is apricot glazing

abglänzen - Mit einer Glasur bedecken, glänzend machen.

glaze - As a description, the term refers to a thin glossy coating applied to foods. A reduction or aspic can cover savory foods. Anything from melted chocolate to thin icings can cover pastries and cakes. As a direction, the term refers to applying a thin shiny coating to food.

Peer comment(s):

agree Guido Schenkel : I'm fairly certain "Abglaenzen" refers exclusively to glazing with an egg wash, but I believe there's no lexical difference in English between that and "Glasieren".
