The present invention relates to dextrin-based food-grade adhesives containing minor amounts of xanthan, or carboxymethylcellulose or combinations thereof. The present invention also relates to a process for coating a comestible substrate with dextrin-based food-grade adhesives including a minor proportion of one of the group consisting of xanthan, carboxymethylcellulose; or, combinations thereof. The adhesives of the present invention show substantially increased adhesion relative to corresponding dextrin-based adhesives lacking in the minor proportions of the above mentioned gums. The present invention holds special advantages in the manufacture of oil roasted nut meat products having spiced coatings by reducing the amount of such coatings that is lost to the oil during roasting. An improved process for producing oil roasted nut meats, which process reduces the amount of flavored coating lost to the oil during roasting, is also disclosed.
A food-grade adhesive composition comprising a dextrin and a minor proportion of a gum selected from the group consisting of xanthan;
A process for producing a food-grade-adhesive-coated comestible comprising the step of coating a comestible substrate with an aqueous food-grade adhesive comprising a dextrin and a minor proportion of a gum selected from the group consisting of xanthan, carboxymethylcellulose and mixtures thereof.
A process for producing a flavor-coated oil roasted comestible comprising the steps of applying an aqueous food-grade adhesive coating to a comestible substrate, applying a flavoring composition thereto, and then drying the adhesive-coated comestible until its surface is substantially dry to the touch, prior to oil roasting thereof.
A process for producing a flavoring-coated, oil roasted comestible including the steps of applying an aqueous food-grade adhesive comprising a dextrin and a minor proportion of a gum selected from the group consisting of xanthan, carboxymethylcellulose and mixtures thereof;
A comestible having a flavouring composition adhered to a surface thereof by a food-grade adhesive comprising a dextrin and a minor amount of a gum selected from the group consisting of xanthan;
