摘要

The present invention provides a food product comprising: a formed reduced glycemic response cereal component; and a non-sticky reduced glyccmic response sweetener coating over the formed cereal component, the sweetener coating comprising: a first sticky layer comprising at least about 30% fructose (of the total sweetener coating); a second less sticky layer having a DE value of about 60 or less and comprising up to about 17% fructose and at least about 1% non-fructose carbohydrates (of the total sweetener coating); and third layer comprising crystalline fructose. The present invention also provides a process for forming the sweetener coating over the formed cereal component comprising the following steps: (a) providing a formed cereal component having thereon a first sticky layer comprising fructose; (b) forming over the first sticky layer a less sticky second layer comprising non- fructose carbohydrates and optionally fructose; and (c) applying crystalline fructose over the second layer.
