摘要

The compsn. comprises a mixt. of white pyrodextrin and an edible oily material derived from an oil or a fat; the compsn. being free of mono- and di-saccharides. The compsn. is used to form a syrup with water, which is used to coat the food prod. followed by drying to below 5% water. The compsn. is esp. used for coating cereal prods. such as cornflakes. Unlike previous sugar substitutes, the compsn. gives a texture, taste and appearance equivalent to that obtd. using sugar. Also the cereals remain crisp longer in milk than the sugar coated prods.
