Food ingredients specialist Loryma has introduced a groundbreaking solution for crispy coatings, addressing the growing consumer demand for healthier, low-fat convenience products.
The company’s new wheat-based Lory Crumb extrudates promise to revolutionize the breaded food industry by delivering a deliciously crunchy texture without the need for added fat or deep-frying.
This innovative product allows for the creation of reduced-fat items that can be easily prepared in an oven or air fryer, resulting in an appealing golden-brown finish. The versatility of Lory Crumb varieties enables manufacturers to produce a wide range of on-trend snacks, including bitterballen, chicken nuggets, vegetable patties, and plant-based meat alternatives. Available in medium and coarse granulations, the coating can be tailored to suit different substrates.
One of the key advantages of Loryma’s new solution is the elimination of the frying step for both producers and consumers. The advanced wheat-based crumbs ensure a satisfying crunch and strong coating adhesion, even during extended warming periods, making them particularly suitable for foodservice environments.
For manufacturers, this innovation offers numerous benefits, including a more resource-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective production process. Reduced oil usage, energy savings, and fewer cleaning requirements allow companies to streamline their operations while providing added value to consumers.
To further enhance the performance of these non-fry crumbs, Loryma recommends the inclusion of Lory Starch Opal. This cold-swelling starch functions as a wet batter, securing crumbs to the substrate without heat application. It forms a thin film that enhances the product’s crunchiness and, with an additional dusting, further boosts crispness.
As the snack industry increasingly focuses on products that offer enjoyment with added health benefits, Loryma’s Non-Fry options from the Lory Crumb range position manufacturers to effectively meet the challenge of creating breaded applications that are lower in fat and calories, yet full of flavor and natural appeal.
This innovative coating solution represents a significant step forward in the convenience food sector, aligning with consumer preferences for healthier, easy-to-prepare options without compromising on taste or texture.
