Abstract
The present invention provides a process for preparing a potato product with a film-like coating on the outer surface which coating according to the steps of: cutting the potatoes; blanching the potatoes; and coating the potatoes with a dry coating composition comprising at least 50% by weight dextrin and from 5% to 25% by weight of a hydrolyzed starch characterized by a DE of from 0.2 to 5. The method provides coated potato products (french fries) characterized by desirable textural properties at low coating weights.
Claims38
A process for preparing a potato product with a film-like coating on the outer surface comprising the steps of:
- cutting the potatoes;
- blanching the potatoes;
- and
- coating the potatoes with a dry coating composition comprising at least 50% by weight dextrin and from 5% to 25% by weight of a hydrolyzed starch characterized by a DE of from 0.2 to 5.
A coated potato product produced according to the method comprising the steps of:
- cutting potatoes;
- blanching the potatoes;
- coating the potatoes with a dry coating composition comprising at least 50% by weight dextrin and from 5% to 25% by weight of a hydrolyzed starch characterized by a DE of from 0.2 to 5;
- and
- freezing the potatoes.
A dry coating composition for application to an uncoated potato product comprising at least 50% by weight dextrin and from 5% to 20% by weight of a hydrolyzed starch characterized by a DE of from 0.2 to 5.
In a method of preparing a potato product with a film-like coating on the outer surface by coating the potato product with an aqueous enrobing slurry or dry coating composition, the improvement comprising:
- incorporating an octenyl succinate modified starch into said aqueous enrobing slurry or dry coating composition.
An aqueous enrobing slurry for preparing a potato product with a film-like coating comprising at least 50% by weight of a modified starch component and an octenyl succinate modified starch.
A dry coating composition for preparing a potato product with a film-like coating comprising at least 50% by weight of a modified starch component and an octenyl succinate modified starch.
