Abstract

A ready-to-eat cereal that is capable of changing color upon immersion into an aqueous medium such as milk. The cereal base has a non-dispersible first color. The cereal base has a coating comprising cornstarch, powdered sugar, and optionally food coloring. The coating is of a second color different from the first color and is in a quantity sufficient to obscure the first color. Preferably, glycerine is used to adhere the coating to the cereal base.
Two methods of making the ready-to-eat cereal of the invention are also provided.

Claims (19)

1. A ready-to-eat cereal, capable of changing color upon immersion in an aqueous medium, comprising:
a base cereal having a surface of a first color that does not disperse in the aqueous medium;
an aqueous medium dispersible color coating of a second color different from the first color and adhered to the base cereal in a quantity sufficient to obscure the first color comprising cornstarch and powdered sugar.
2. The cereal of claim 1 wherein the coating further comprises a food coloring.
3. The cereal of claim I wherein the coating comprises at least about 55%
cornstarch, at most about 45% powdered sugar and optionally up to about 5%
powdered food coloring.
4. The cereal of claim 1 wherein the coating comprises at least about 65%
comstarch, at most about 35% powdered sugar and optionally about 1% to about 3%
powdered food coloring.
5. The cereal of claim 1 wherein the first color and the second color are not white.
6. The cereal of claim 1 further comprising glycerine bonding the coating to the base cereal.
7. A ready-to-eat cereal, capable of changing color upon immersion in an aqueous medium, comprising:
8 a base cereal having a surface of a first color that does not disperse in the aqueous medium;
an aqueous medium dispersible color coating of a second color different from the first color and adhered to the base cereal in a quantity sufficient to obscure the first color comprising cornstarch, powdered sugar and food coloring; and glycerine bonding the coating to the base cereal.

8. The cereal of claim 7 wherein the coating comprises at least about 55%
cornstarch, at most about 45% powdered sugar and optionally up to about 5%
powdered food coloring.
9. The cereal of claim 7 wherein the coating comprises at least about 65%
cornstarch, at most about 35% powdered sugar and optionally about 1% to about 3%
powdered food coloring.
10. The cereal of claim 7 wherein the first color and the second color are not white.
11. A method of making a ready-to-eat color-changing cereal comprising:
atomizing a liquid soluble in water;
applying the atomized liquid to a base cereal of a first color; and applying a powder of a second color different from the first color to the wetted cereal to form a powder coating obscuring the first color.
12. The method of claim 11 wherein the atomized liquid is applied to the cereal while the base cereal is falling.
13. The method of claim 12 further comprising rotating the base cereal so that it is rotating while failing so that substantially all of the surface of the base cereal is wetted with the liquid before the powder is applied.
14. The method of claim 11 wherein the powder comprises from about 55% to about 85% cornstarch, from about 15% to about 45% powdered sugar and optionally up to about 5% powdered food coloring.
15. The method of claim 14 wherein the powder comprises from about 65% to about 75% cornstarch, from about 25% to about 35% powdered sugar and optionally about 1% to about 3% powdered food coloring.
16. The method of claim 14 wherein the powder is applied in a twin-screw mixing conveyor.
17. The method of claim 11 wherein substantially no liquid soaked powder balls are formed.
18. A method of making a ready-to-eat color-changing cereal continuously comprising:
applying a liquid soluble in water to a base cereal of a first color in the inlet half of a drum enrober; and applying a powder of a second color different from the first color to the wetted cereal to form a powder coating obscuring the first color.
19. The method of claim 18 wherein the liquid is applied within the inlet third of the enrober and the powder is applied within the middle third of the enrober.
