Abstract
Breadcrumbs for coating a food are prepared by extrusion-cooking ingredients of a ground cereal, a reducing sugar, a fat, particularly hydrogentated palm oil, and water to obtain an extruded, cooked product which then is ground to obtain a ground particular which is dried to obtain a dried product. The extrusion-cooking is carried out a temperature of at least 150° C. and under a pressure of at least 45 bar, and the fat is employed in an amount so that the dried product has a fat content of from 7% to 12% by weight. The breadcrumbs, when coated on a food product, enable obtaining a breadcrumb-coated oven-cooked food product similar to an oven-cooked breadcrumb product without frying of the breadcrumbs or the coated product in oil.
