    摘要: An automated food preparation system includes a sauce-dispensing system with sauce reservoirs, a scanning head, and tubes. Each of the sauce reservoirs is configured to contain a respective sauce. The scanning head includes openings each coupled with a respective sauce reservoir via a respective tube. A conveyance system transports a foodstuff between first and sauce positions. The scanning head is movable to dispense a selected sauce onto one or more regions of the foodstuff. A motor assembly is mounted to a mounting structure. The motor assembly is drivingly coupled to the scanning head and rotates the scanning head relative to the mounting structure. The scanning head includes a plate and a cylindrical shroud fixed relative to the plate. The openings extend through the plate. The plate is disposed within a cavity defined by the cylindrical shroud. The motor assembly rotates the plate and the cylindrical shroud about a longitudinal axis.

    摘要: Dried coated food pieces are produced by applying a composition to a surface of food pieces to produce coated food pieces. The composition includes water and a soluble solids component having a soluble solids content including erythritol in an amount more than 10% and up to about 50% by dry weight of the soluble solid content and sucrose in an amount of about 50% and up to about 90% of the soluble solids content. No more than 10% by dry weight of the soluble solids content is other than erythritol and sucrose. The coated food pieces are dried to form dried food pieces having at least a partial coating. The coating includes at least a portion of the sucrose in crystal form and at least a portion of the erythritol in crystal form. The coating has a crystallinity of about 20% to about 60%.
