  • Food products having moisture release system for maintaining texture during shelf life
    Publication number: 20040253347
    Abstract: Multi-component food products including diverse food components having differing water activities, and a moisture release system useful therefor, are provided. In these food products, an edible moisture supply layer is provided in contact with a first food component to which it releases moisture to slow down the rate at which the first food component goes stale and thereby increase its shelf life, while a separate edible moisture barrier is interposed between the moisture supply layer and a second food component having a higher water activity than that of the first food component effective to reduce moisture loss in the second food component from migration of moisture between the food components having different water activities.
