Inventors:

Carol Long - Palatine IL, US
Robert Chatel - Hoffman Estates IL, US

International Classification:

A23L 1/00

US Classification:

426289000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to reduced sugar-content sugar-coated ready-to-eat (RTE) cereals and methods of their preparation. The RTE cereal has a sugar coating comprising from about 56% to about 70% sugar and from about 16% to about 28% maltodextrin. A method of preparing a reduced sugar-content sugar-coated RTE cereal includes providing a cereal base and forming a coating over the cereal base, the coating comprising on a dry weight basis from about 56% to about 70% sugar and from about 16% to about 28% maltodextrin. The coating may also include a fruit flavor and an acidulant. The method may also include drying the coated cereal and actively cooling the dried cereal below the coatings glass transition temperature while agitating the cereal so that the cooled RTE cereal does not form agglomerations of RTE cereal that do not break apart during packaging.
