Abstract 1. A CEREAL COATING PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES, IN SEQUENCE, THE STEPS OF (A) APPLYING TO PREPARED CEREAL PARTICLES A SYRUPY OIL-IN-WATER EMULSION HAVING A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 170*F. TO ABOUT 240*F., SAID EMULSION COMPRISING BY WEIGHT, BASED ON THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF SAID EMULSION, 5%-32% OF AN EDIBLE OIL- OR FAT-DERIVED OLEAGINOUS MATERIAL, AN AQUEOUS SYRUP SOLUTION CONTAINING 60-85% BY WEIGHT OF SUGAR SOLIDS, AND 0.5%-5% OF AN EMULSIFIER CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF DISTILLED MONOGLYCERDIES, SAID EMULSION CONTAINING, BY WEIGHT, FROM ABOUT 9% TO ABOUT 34% OF WATER; NO HEATING BEING CARRIED OUT DURING THE APPLICATION OF SAID EMULSION TO SAID CEREAL PARTICLES; AND (B) DRYING THE COATED CEREAL PARTICLES AT A TEMPERATURE AND FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT TO REDUCE THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF SAID COATED CEREAL PARTICLES TO A LEVEL IN THE RANGE OF 2.0% TO 3.0% BY WEIGHT OF SAID PARTICLES, WHILE VIGOROUSLY GIATATING THE PARTICLES THROUGHOUT THE DRYING STEP, THEREBY OBTAINING DISCRETE, CANDYCOATED CEREAL PARTICLES.
