  • Edible Surface-Modifying Particles and Methods for Their Manufacture
    Publication number: 20120288590
    Abstract: Disclosed is an edible surface-modifying particle precursor composition for preparing edible surface-modifying particles that includes one or more starches resulting in a total amylose content from the starches of about 0.1% to about 20% of the total weight of the composition. The composition also includes a ground cereal in amounts of about 10% to about 40% of the total weight of the composition; and water. Disclosed also are coated food substrates bearing such edible surface-modifying particles, and methods for making food products using the edible surface-modifying particles.

  • Systems and Methods for Adhering Particles on Food Surfaces
    Publication number: 20110212226
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved food product comprising food substrate, a thin adhesive coating deposited on a surface of said food substrate and a particulate deposited on the thin adhesive coating wherein the adhesive coating comprises an edible polymer which, after dispersion in a solvent and deposition on the food substrate, causes adhesion of the particulate to the food substrate.
