Abstract
A unique coated food substrate carrying adherent particulates including a food substrate and a heat set adherent coating on the substrate, the adherent coating including an alginate salt and a source of calcium ions, and particulates larger than 16 mesh and less than ½ inch in cross-section bound to the substrate by the adherent coating; and the method of making such unique coated food substitutes.
Claims33
A coated food substrate carrying adherent particulates comprising:
- a food substrate,
- a heat set adherent coating on the substrate,
- the adherent coating including an alginate salt and a source of calcium ions;
- and
- particulates bound to the substrate by the adherent coating, the particulates being larger than 16 mesh and less than ½ inch in cross-section.
The coated food substrate of claim 15 in which the substrate comprises fresh chicken breasts.
A method of preparing a coated substrate with an adherent layer of particulates about 16 mesh to ½ inch mesh in cross-section comprising:
- providing a food substrate,
- applying an adherent composition containing an alginate salt and a source of calcium ions to the substrate,
- applying particulates sized about 16 mesh to ½ inch mesh in cross-section to the substrate;
- and
- heat setting the adherent coating.
