COATED COMPOSITION USED TO IMPROVE

':
TECHNICAL FIELD
~ ;
This invention relates to unique coating compositions for coating fried bakery products to control moisture migration and to improve fried bakery products which maintain its high quality over extended periods of time.
:10 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A serious problem which has always existed in the bakery -~ ;~
industry relates to the matter-of staling as perceived by the ~15~ firming of the food product due to moisture loss. This is especially true in a fried bakery product such as a donut because of its low moisture and high fat content surface and high moisture content inside the product.~ The moisture of the fried baked -~
product will migrate from the high vapor pressure area (inside the ---~20 product) to the low vapor pressure area `(low moisture surface) - ~ ;
~; until equilibrium in the vapor pressure and moisture is reached.
As this process continues the inside portion of the product known as the crumb has a decrease in moisture content which contributes to the perceived staleness and hardening of the fried bakery i5~ ~ product. Donuts contained in a storage box become firm and - ~;
~` ~ slightly mealy after 2 or 3 days. When a coating such as chocolate -~
or compound is applied to a fried bakery product, these products, especially the donuts, firmed very rapidly and were less desirable for eating after 1 to 2 days.~ The rapid firming is due to the rapid moisture migration from the crumb of the fried bakery product .
to the coating of the~product.

There have been many techniques suggested to overcome the moisture migration in a fried bakery product. In Silva et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,293,572 the prior art describes many outer coating compositions unrelated to the present invention. Silva et al. describes a method of coating a multicomponent baked or fried bakery food product with an edible effective moisture barrier.
This coating consisted of a mixture of saccharide, polysaccharide or dextrin; water and an emulsified acetylated monoglycerides triylycerides. The coating formed on the baked products apparently was a satisfactory moisture barrier but the composition is different than the more predictable composition used in the present invention. Other satisfactory protective coating compositions include McReynolds et al., U.S. Patent No. 3,784,714 which ~15 describes coating a bakery product with a chocolate product ~ containing calcium stearàte to retard moisture loss. Colten et ;~ al., U.S. Patent No. 3,784,713 describes a moisture barrier coatingfor baked products by incorporating into a chocolate coating a minor amount of an alXali or alkaline earth metal derivative of isolated soy protein. Lang et al., U.S. Patent No. 3,784,714 i~ describes a glaze composition for a bakery product as a moisture barrier which comprises a dextrin component, water, chemical preservative and an edible acid. In the present invention, a unique coating composition has been discovered which controls a ~25 moisture migration for fried bakery products especially for chocolate coated donuts which remain soft in texture and of stable quality over extended periods of time.

SUM~ARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a unique coating composition for a fried bakery product has been discovered which has outstanding moisture control properties and can be .

.,.

predictably reproduced by controlling the relative humidity of the coating by the addition of an aqueous soluble sugar-containing syrup to the remaining ingredients of the coating. The unique coating composition for a fried baXery product such as a donut, other donut products, honey bun, crullers and the like for this invention comprises:
(1) about 60 to about 95 weight percent of an edible lipid such as a fat or shortening having a melting point above about 99F;
(2) an amount of an aqueous soluble sugar-containing syrup and/or water added to ingredient (1) to produce a moisture content in the coating composition having a relative humidity of about 63 to about 75% as measured in a sealed air-tight box having a controlled starting headspace conditions of 70F/60% relative ~;~ humidity environment where 100 grams of said coating is spread evenly onto a surface of a pan wherein the relative humidity is recorded at five minute intervals until substantially equilibrated.
A preferred coating composition for this invention is the same ~20 composition as described above except that the edible lipid, having a melting point above about 99~F in amounts from about 65 to about 88 weight percent and an edible fibrous-containing powder is present in amounts from about 5 to about lS weight percent. An additional aspect of this invention is an improved donut which ~2S ~ contains a substantially uniform coating of the above-descri~ed compositions and additionally to an improved donut which is coated with a chocolate coating or other suitable icings. The improved donuts of this invention remain soft in texture and of stable quality over extended periods of time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The edible lipids such as fat or shortening used in the compositions of this invention are those edible lipids such as fats or oils which include palm oil, olive oil, oleic oil, coconut oil, canola oil, palm kernel oil, soybean, corn oil, peanut oil, ~;
sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil among others, mixtures o~ these oils, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. It is essential for purposes of this invention that the oils or shortenings have a melting point above 99F and preferably above 1057F and more preferably 110F to 117F. The fats or shortening -as used herein do not require emulsi~iers as long as constant -agitation is maintained in the mixing. It is preferred to use ~15 emulsifiers such as mono- and diglycerides which are well known and are used in acceptable amounts as an aid in the preparation of the ~-coating composition of this invention. The amounts of a fat or ~; shortening used in the coatings of this invention can range from about 60 to about 95 weight percent of the total composition. The amounts of fat or shortening used with about 5 to about 15 weight percent of an edible fibrous containing powder can range from about 65 to about 88 weight percent of the total composition.
: , ,. ,,:
The amount of water added to the ingredients of the ~, coating compositions will depend on the relative humidity of the coating composition required.
: ' ' The aqueous soluble sugar-containing syrup used in the coatings of this invention is dependent on relative humidity of the coating achieving above about 60 to about 75%. This means that the ~ soluble sugar-containing syrup is mixed with the water and edible ~-' : :
~ , lipids such as fat or shortening to form a coating having a relative humidity above about 60% to about 75~ Amounts of the aqueous soluble sugar-containing syrups used can range from 0 to about 20 weight percent, preferably 0 to 10 weight percent. The equipment used to determine relative humidity (vapor pressure) developed by the coatings of this invention is an air tight plastic ;~
desiccant box measuring 8~" x 11" x 6" to provide a sealed environment. This box is equipped with a temperature and relative humidity measurement device (General Eastern Model 850 transmitter) which is interfaced with a Hewlett Packard Data Collection system.
The apparatus is placed in a 70F/60% relative humidity environment, to provide controlled starting headspace conditions inside the sealed box. The procedure for relative humidity determination includes one hundred grams of a coating to be tested which is spread evenly onto the surface of a disposable aluminum pan, having slightly less dimensions as the bottom of the desiccator box (8" x 10"). Humidity measurements are recorded at five minute intervals over the time needed to substantially equilibrate the headspace relative humidity for a period of time not exceeding two hours. The term "aqueous soluble sugar-containing syrup" means that the soluble mono- and disaccharide sugars used in the syrup are dissolved with a minimum amount of water. If excess water is used to produce the syrup, it could effect the relative humidity the coating exceeding the 75~ relative humidity of where an effective coating for the fried bakery products may not be achieved. The use of the relative humidity of the coating to achieve success of an outstanding moisture control for a fried bakery product is unique and novel.
The aqueous soluble-containing sugar syrup can contain up ~ .
~ '. ;~

- 6 ~
to 92% solids, preferably between about 50 to about 80~ total solids. The preferred sugar syrup to be used is defined as 42 *LEVUDEX containing 30% fructose and 35% dextrose having 28~ water -with a total solids of 72~. fnvert sugar is acceptable as well as 24 LE W DEX syrup. The amount of water in the above-described syrup -can range from about 21 to about 30 weight percent.
:, ~.: , : :.
A preferred coating of this invention contains edible fibrous-containing powder which acts as water binders. These include fibrous powder which are soluble or insoluble fibers such as cocoa, citrus peel, refined corn bran, citrus pectin, citrus albedo and the like. The cocoa powder used can contain about 1 to about 32 weight pércent cocoa butter fat, preferably about 10 to about 12 weight percent butter ~at. The average particle sizes of the fibrous powder can range from about 35 to about 170 microns.
The amounts of edible fibrous-containing powder can range from about 5 to about 15 weight percent of the coating composition.

The donuts which are coated by the use of the coating of this invention provide a moisture barrier which significantly ~ reduces the deterioration of the product over extended periods of ; time. Chocolate coated and icing coated donuts have accelerated loss of moisture by the crumb and stale faster than any other type ~25 of donuts. The coating of the donut using the coating compositions of this invention provides a method to retard moisture migration ;~ and staling of the crumb by placing this interfacial layer between the crumb and the chocolate or icing coating. The interfacial coatings in the donuts of this invention allows the reduction of *trade mark %

firmness development in the crumb, improved quality and prolong shelf life of chocolate coated or other icing coated donuts without deterioration in the appearance of the coating. What has been achieved is the substantial increase in the shelf life of the donut from 2.5 days without the interfacial coating of this invention to 5.5 to 7.5 days due to the carefully designed interfacial layer between the crumb and coatings. The staling of the product is significantly retarded using the interfacial coating of this invention.

The coatings of this invention are prepared by placing the edible lipids into a mixing bowl, blending the free water with the aqueous soluble sugar syrup and mixing the blend with the fat ~15 and shortening to provide a smooth and creamy product. Then heating the mixture to 120F to about 140F. If an edible fibrous~
containing powder such as cocoa is used, it is combined with portions of the edible lipids prior to the addition of mixing with the aqueous soluble sugar syrup.
The coating is heated or maintained at temperatures of 115F to about 140~F and applied to the surface of the hot donut made by a normal frying process. After the coating has set up, the chocolate or icing top coating can be applied. Both of these ~25 coatings may be applied to the surface of the product by any practical mechanical means such as dipping, spraying, brushing or a water fall. It is important to remove the excess of the coating to provide a substantially uniform coating by any practical means such as air blowdown, mechanical vibration or centrifuging while at the same time minimizing external markings due to the support of the ~donut during drying or setting of the donut. The amount of . ~

interfacial coating can range from about 10 to about 25 weight percent of the donut, preferably about 14 to about 22 weight percent. The top chocolate or icing coating may range from about 525 to about 35 weight percent of the donut, preferably about 29 to about 33 weight percent.

The following examples further illustrate the invention.

PREP~RATION OF INTERFACIAL COATING

Into a Hobar type mixing bowl, 73.7 pounds of a mixture ~15of soybean oil-cottonseed oil emulsified with mono- and diglycerides having a melting point of 115F was blended at low speed with 28 pounds of cocoa powder containing 10 to 12 weight percent cocoa butter fat. 73.7 pounds additionally of a mixture of soybean-cottonseed oil as described above was added to the blended 20cocoa-cottonseed oil-soybean oil mixture and blended until uniform.
Separately 4.6 pounds of water was thoroughly mixed with 20 pounds of 42 LE W DEX containing 30% fructose and 36% dextrose (total solids 72%) containing 28% bound water to produce the syrup. This mixture was added to the cocoa-cottonseed oil-soybean oil mixture ~25and blended to a smooth and creamy texture. The relative humidity of this coating as measured in the relative humidity apparatus, previously described, was 65%.

The coating composition was placed in a water-fall 30coating unit used for glazing donuts. The temperature of the ~coating was maintained at 130F during the coating. 8 grams of a ' r g ,,~
substantially uniform coating was applied to the entire surface o~
the donut. Xn a similar manner a chocolate coating was applied to ~ ~:
the entire surface of the donut.

In a similar manner as in Example 1 except no cocoa was blended in the mixture. The relative humidity o~ the coating was 73%. ~.
