  • Coated Popcorn
    Publication number: 20140023761
    Abstract: A process of providing flavoured popcorn kernels, comprising the spraying of popcorn kernels with an aqueous composition, which comprises a slurry in water of a powdered blend of spray-dry flavor and film-forming polymer, the film-forming polymer being adhesive to the kernels at application temperature and sufficient blend being applied to provide an essentially complete coating on the kernels. The process is simple and inexpensive to perform, and allows the ready manufacture of low-fat popcorn.
