ABSTRACT:
The amount of oleaginous or aqueous liquid carrier used as an adhesive or binding agent for the topical application of a particulate composition to the major surfaces of baked good pieces or snack pieces is reduced by separately spraying the liquid composition and dispensing the particulate composition in substantial side-by-side relationship within a rotating drum. The liquid composition causes the particulate composition to adhere to the pieces prior to and without substantial penetration of the liquid composition into the pieces. Highly porous or absorptive products such as reduced fat, low fat, or no-fat crackers or snacks may be transferred hot to the drum. The liquid composition is sprayed substantially coextensively but separately from the dispensing of the particulate composition. The particulate curtain and the liquid spray both extend in the direction of transport of the pieces. The pieces are contacted sequentially by the liquid composition and the particulate composition several times as the pieces are driven up the side of the rotating drum and tumble downwardly as they travel through the drum. The resulting alternating layers of particulate and adhesive compositions promote strong binding of the particulates to the substrate while creating an appearance of visually apparent discrete particulate particles. The products may be dried in the drum by passing heated air through apertures in the wall of the drum. Reduced fat, low fat, and no-fat products having particulate toppings adhered to their top and bottom major surfaces may be produced.
