摘要： A food product is coated with an edible, meltable powder. Upon melting, the powder-coated food product melts into a liquid coating on the food product. The meltable powder comprises a dry component free of starch and at least one of: a sorbitol dry component; an erythritol dry component; an arabitol dry component; a xylitol dry component; a lactitol dry component; a maltitol dry component; a combination of isomalt and sorbitol; a shellac dry component free of fatty acids; a soluble fiber dry component; a fructose dry component, a trehalose dry component, a glucose dry component, a maltose dry component, and an isomaltulose dry component. The polyols when present are free of polysaccharides. A number of food products can be coated with one or more of the dry components, which are subsequently melted to form a coating.

摘要： A non-invasive NMR based apparatus for measuring a food attribute (moisture, sugar content) in food products comprises a magnetic chamber, an RF pulsing device attached to the magnetic chamber, a sensor receiver, and a data processing unit in communication with the sensor receiver. The pulsing device exposes the food ingredients/snacks to an RF field and produces an NMR response signal that is detected by the sensor receiver. The data processing unit quantitatively measures a food attribute of the food product based on the NMR response signal.

摘要： An intermediate food base is manufactured from masa that may comprise waxy corn starch. The intermediate food base is then sheeted and dehydrated to between about 15% to about 40% before coating with a solution or batter, and dehydrating to a shelf stable moisture content. The coating solution may be starch-based, fiber-based, or egg white-based. Breading may be added to the coating solution or batter.
