Abstract

A microwave cookable coating comprises an aqueous mixture of starch, cellulose gum, flour, enzyme additive and additional ingredients wherein the enzyme additive comprises one or more alpha amylases optionally together with one or more further enzymes.

Description

~18g670 Wo ss/30344 MICROWAVE C00RA3LE ~OOD COATI~G
This invention relates to a coating for foodstuffs which ~1 is cookable or rPhPAt~hl e by means o~ a microwave oven. The invention relates particularly but not exclusively to microwave cookable batters or breaded coatings.
Microwave ovens are commonly used for heating food products which have been pre-prepared by a foodstuff manufacturer. Pre-~ pal~l products include batter coated foodstuffs in which the basic foodstuff for example meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit or iced products, has been coated in batter optionally coated with crumbs and then deep fried and then frozen for supply to a consumer.
Heating in a microwave oven may complete the cooking process or simply reheat a previously cooked product.
Microwave cookable coatings have particular re~uirements.
Steam released from the food can cause the batter to become soggy, detracting from the texture and taste of the product.
W088/06007 disclosed a batter composition and method o~
preparation wherein the foodstuff is predusted with high amylose starch and methyl ~Pl 1 ~1 ose . The batter includes high enzyme soya flour. W093/03634 disclosed an improved predust compositlon lncluding a mixture of particulate starch and particulate r~ ln,qe gum which gels on heating in the presence of moisture. Such a predust can form a dense high viscoslty barrier to absorptlon of oil and mlgration of moisture. The barrier also provides a stable env; for any seasoning and can enhance bondlng with the batter. Although hlgh enzyme soya flours afford gPnP~lly acceptable products, varlatlons in their enzyme content have glven rise to ; nrnn~ tent and occasionally undesirable flavours.
According to a f ir9t aspect of the present lnventlon a microwave cookable or r~h~t~hle foodstuff coatlng comprlses an aqueous mlxture in~ ;n~ the followlng lngredients by dry weight:

0 95130344 2 1 ~ g 6 7 ~
~ --2--(i) starch, preferably high amylose starch 30 - 60%
~ii) cellulose gum 1 - 5%
(iii) I~lour 25 - 60%
(iv) an enzyme additive, and ~v) ~nr;llAry ingredients, ~; nrl ~1~i nr one or more l ~; f; Pr8 and one or more reducing sugars balance to 100%
wherein the enzyme additive comprises one or more alpha-amylases optionally tQ~ethPr with one or more further enzymes, buf f ers and stabilisers .
Use of the enzyme additive in acculdcl.ce with the present invention has the advantage that use of soya flour is not essential. A mixture of soya flour and other flour=, for example wheat, rye, oats, buckwheat, maize, rice or potato flour may be employed. Alternatively the soya flour may be replaced entirely with one or more other types of flour. The flour may be selected to provide a range of flavours which were not previously available. Gluten free flours are preferred.
The enzyme additives may be selected in accuLd~ ce with flour employed .
The qtarch may comprise high amylose starch.
Alteratively or in addition pea or maize starch may be employed .
The invention finds use in manufacture of cQated foodstuffs. However alterative applications include p~nr~kP.l ;nr]ll~;nr filled pAnriikP~: Preferred formuIations for ~-nl~f~rt1lre of rRnr~kP~ do not include soya flour.
Preferred coating comprises the fûllowing ingredients by dry weight:
(i) high amylose starch 35 - 50%
(ii) cellulose gum 1 - 596 (iii) glyceryl monostearate or other emulsifier . 5 - 3%
~iv) dried egg 7 - 15%
(v) D-xylose or other reducing suyar l - 5%
(vi) flour 30 - 50%
(vii) an enzyme additive, and vi ii ) ~ n r; 1 1 ~ ry ingredients balance t Q 10 0 %

~18967Q
w0 9sl3û344 f Preferred alpha amylases include maltogenic amylases ;nr~ ;n~ those `expressed by Bactillus gubtilis strains. A
pre~erred enzyme additive i~ available under the Trade Mark Novamyl MG manuf actured by Novo Nordisk . Pref erred enzyme additives act on the starCh fraction of flour, modifying the starch to create low molecular weight sugars eg amylose and f~PYtr;nC which improve the water rPtPnt;r~n capacity of the batter. Uowever Novamyl amylases reduce any tendency to retrogradation or lln~P,q; rAh1 P further hydrolysis duriny cooking or rPhPAt; n~
Additional enzymes may include proteases for example endopeptidases such as ~1 kAl Ace manufactured by Novo Nordisk;
pPntnc-AnAcer for example Pentopan 200 MG manufactured by Novo Nordisk and metaloproteases, for example Neutrase manufactured by Novo Nordisk. ~3eta g1 1l ~rAnAqPq or other proteases serve to degrade polypeptides such as gluten during incubation of the batter .
ConvPnti nnA1 buffers may be employed although use of phosphates is especially preferred. Preferred additives also incorporate gl ~rnnnl ArtnnP The qtAhi 1 i .qPr may be ammonium bicarbo~ate although alternative stabilisers may be employed.
Ammonium bir~rhnnAtP is preferred because it also serves to reduce undesirable odours.
pm~llq;f;prq which may be used may comprise one or more of the follQwing: glyceryl monostearate, lecithin, milk powder, dried whole egg, dried egg white and dried egg yolk. Use of ler;th;n is especially preferred to optimise fluid properties and 1 c; nn s~ability of the batter. Especially preferred compositions incorporate mixtures of egg, glyceryl monostearate and lecithin. Preferred lPr;thinq include soya ler;th;n filtered and a low iron soya lecithin, activated soya ler;th;n, lyso-~Pr;th;n and phosphatidylchoine.
The reducing sugar i8 preferably D-xylose. Alterative reducing sugars which may be employed instead of or in addition to xylose are xylitol, qnrhitn1 and L-rhamnose.
Coating compositions in accordance with this invention are preferably blended by mixing under high shear, followed by Woss/30344 ~1 8967~ y ~

being allowed to stand for i~aboùt one hour Heat generated during mixing promotes enzyme activity . A pref erred method ;n~ rlP~ mixing at a rate to cause heating to= 30 to 60'C.
The invention is further ~lo~cr;hed by means of example but not in any limitative sense.

The p....... 'ered batter mi~cture (1 part) was added to water ~3 parts) or less water according to the desired viscosity of the batter.
The pH of the batter mix waG 4 . 5 to 5 . 0 .
Pieces of reformed chicken were coated with a predust designed in i4~ ~ /r ~ e with the moisture content of the substrate. The predusted chicken pieces were fed mechanically with a convPntlnnAl batter applirAt;nn (for example a Stein or Koppens apparatus) . The battered particles were then fed into a crumb applicator preferably a JArAnePe-style applicator, from which the coated product was then transferred to a standard frying line and cooked for a period of apprnr;m~tPly 45 to 60 seconds depending on the desired colour of the coating. The prn~ rt wA r then f ed into a cryogenic or other f reezer and frozen to give a core temperature of at most -2Q-C preferably -50 C. The frozen product was picked into rnntA;nPr8 m-nllfArtllred from impermeable plastics material, stable for at least 6 months at -20 C or lower or any other rrntA;nPr with similar properties. Preferred packaging procedures include gas flushing after eVArl~At;nn of the packs to a vacuum of at least 99~. Preferred gases are N2 and/or ga~ mixtures not including CO2 .
The products can be reheated in a dome~tic or co,mmercial microwave oven in their cnntA;nPrs, if the latter are designed for use in a microwave oven. ~ltPrnAt;vely the products may be reheated on a plate Example 2 INGRED~ENTS ~ by weight High amylose starch 35 Cellulose gum 3 Dried whole egg 10 D-xylose/any reducing sugar 2 T.Prithl n wo gS130344 ~ 1 8g 67 ~ - 6- ~ ~,.
