Abstract
Food coating compositions are disclosed which are based on a high percentage of corn starch. The compositions preferably contain lower percentages of tapioca starch. The compositions may also contain potato starch, tapioca dextrin, rice flour, leavening agent, xanthan gum, whey or nonfat milk, colorants and flavorants. The coatings may be advantageously used to coat vegetable products, including potato, to enhance flavor and other characteristics.
