Abstract
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.
