Abstract
The present invention is a method for preparing an energy food product. The method comprises the steps of (a) applying a functional component to a surface of a food substrate, wherein the functional component comprises at least one physiologically functional ingredient; and (b) applying a flowable edible material to substantially cover the functional component.
Claims34
A method for preparing an energy food product comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a functional component to a surface of a food substrate, wherein said functional component comprises at least one physiologically functional ingredient;
- and
- (b) applying a flowable edible material to substantially cover said functional component.
A method for preparing an energy food product comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a first flowable edible material to a surface of a food substrate;
- (b) applying a functional component onto a surface of said first flowable edible material, wherein said functional component comprises at least one physiologically functional ingredient;
- and
- (c) applying a second flowable edible material to substantially cover said functional component.
A method for preparing an energy food product comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a substantially homogeneous mixture by combining a flowable edible material and a functional component, wherein said functional component comprises at least one physiologically functional ingredient;
- and
- (b) applying said homogenous mixture to a surface of a food substrate.
An energy food product comprising:
- food substrate having a flowable edible material on a surface of said substrate, and
- at least one physiological functional ingredient dispersed in said flowable edible material, wherein said physiologically functional ingredient is selected from the group consisting of vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, herbal supplements, polyphenols, and mixtures thereof.
