COATED FOODSTUFFS AND METHOD OF PREPARING

摘要

COATED FOODSTUFFS AND METHOD FOR PREPARING A method for coating foodstuffs such as crisp rice with alkaline metal salts of stearic acid and the coated foodstuff are disclosed. The food may be coated by immersion or spraying of a stearate dispersed in a carrier fluid onto the food. On heating, the stearate forms a substantially continuous film over the food, which retains the crunchy texture of the coated food in the presence of moisture.
