Abstract

A method of preparing a composite foodstuff is provided and comprises providing a core, providing a barrier composition and applying the barrier composition to at least a portion of the core and providing a fat based coating having a lower fat content than the core. The fat based coating is applied to the barrier coated cores. The hardness of the fat based coating does not decrease over a period of storage.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A liquid barrier composition for use in foodstuffs comprising:
 from 1% to 40% by weight of a starch having a degree of polymerisation of no more than 90; and   from 40% to 90% by weight of a plasticizer for the starch, the ratio of starch content to plasticizer content by weight being no more than 1:1.5.   
     
     
         22 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the plasticizer is glycerol. 
     
     
         23 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the starch to plasticizer ratio is no more than 1:3. 
     
     
         24 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the starch to plasticizer ratio is no more than 1:4. 
     
     
         25 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the starch to plasticizer ratio is no more than 1:6. 
     
     
         26 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the starch to plasticizer ratio is no more than 1:8. 
     
     
         27 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the starch to plasticizer ratio is no less than 1:20. 
     
     
         28 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the starch to plasticizer ratio is no less than 1:12. 
     
     
         29 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , wherein the starch to plasticizer ratio is no less than 1:10. 
     
     
         30 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , further comprising up to 40% by weight of a bulking agent. 
     
     
         31 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 30 , wherein the bulking agent comprises fructose. 
     
     
         32 . The liquid barrier composition of  claim 21 , further comprising water in an amount up to 10% by weight of the composition.
