i've since found out that you basically mix sodium alginate into the food you're making the caviar of, then dip it into a calcium chloride solution. the alginate reacts with teh calcium and forms a little gelly-like layer around it... the wonders of molecular gastronomy.... =)
if you ever find out, let me know how to do it, ha, im sure it tastes like mango, but i dont know what else they use so it doesnt just dissolve and become one with the water
