The present invention addresses the problem of developing a fat-processed starch which is excellent in terms of all of three properties, i.e., “workability during the preparation of a coating material for fries,” “function required of coating materials for fries (adhesion to ingredients)” and “moderate slurry viscosity.” The fat-processed starch of the present invention is produced by a process comprising the steps: adding a fat with which an emulsifying agent has been mixed to a starch having a water content adjusted to 25 to 45 mass %, in an amount of 0.02 to 0.4 mass % in terms of the weight of the fat excluding the emulsifying agent relative to the weight of dry matter of the starch, and mixing the fat and the starch; adjusting the water content of the mixture is 0.2 to 0.5 time that of the starch before the addition of the fat; and aging the starch having the adjusted water content.

Described herein is an edible coating for food products in which the coatings comprises a polysaccharide cross-linked with a cross-linking agent solution. Also described herein are methods for coating food products and forming clusters of food products. The use of the edible coating for extending the shelf-life of food products is also described.

A method includes provides native starch and modified starch which are mixed to form a body. Then, the body and the cement are treated by a conventional manufacturing method to make ungelatinized starch pearl balls. The ungelatinized starch pearl balls are treated by a boiled process during 5-30 minutes and are then treated by a heat soaked boiled process during 30-150 minutes to form gelatinized starch pearl balls. Then, the gelatinized starch pearl balls and a soaking liquid are filled into a package to perform a vacuum filling and seal packed process, so that the gelatinized starch pearl balls are soaked in the soaking liquid during a few hours. Then, the gelatinized starch pearl balls perform a quick freezing process to prevent the starch pearl balls from becoming aged and hardened. Thus, the starch pearl balls keep a chewy taste and have different flavors.

A shelf-stable liquid base composition useful for preparing acidified milk based beverages, e.g. by dilution with water in a beverage dispensing machine, comprises: from about 2 to about 10 weight % of denatured milk proteins expressed as solid-not-fat (SNF) milk components; from about 15 to about 80 weight %, expressed as sugar equivalents, of a carbohydrate based or non carbohydrate based sweetener; from about 0.35 to about 1.50 weight % of a carbohydrate based stabilizer; and an acidifying agent present in amounts necessary for achieving a pH of about 3.0 to about 3.8 of the said base composition. Methods for preparing such a base composition and also acidified milk based beverages prepared by means of such a base composition are disclosed.
