Coating and batters

Clear coating – crispy and invisible

Lyckeby offers functional potato-based products that provide a thin, invisible and crispy layer with a clean taste.

With Lyckeby’s solutions, you can boost the crispness of your coated products and maintain that crispness over time, which is often a critical requirement for end customers. The texture and crispness of the coating can be tailored to your specific needs, ranging from a very hard crisp with a smooth appearance to a rougher surface with a lighter crunch. Our starch and dextrin products help reduce moisture loss during frying and improve the freeze-thaw stability of the finished product.

Clear coating solutions are also effective for coating meat, fish, and vegetable products, often combined with breading to create a high-quality, crispy layer.

Batters – for a crispy bite

Our clean label waxy maize solutions are ideal for breaded products or thicker batters, such as tempura batters, providing a puffed structure and a texture that delivers a pleasant crispness. They also help regulate fat absorption and moisture loss during frying. These solutions work well with or without breading and are suitable for battered meat, fish, and vegetables.

Potato-based clear coating solutions can also be effectively used to coat meat, fish, and vegetable products. They are typically layered and combined with breading to create a high-quality crispy layer. The thickness of the coating can be adjusted based on the batter’s thickness as well as the amount of layers and breadcrumbs used.

Replace Xanthan and other gums

Achieving the right batter viscosity for optimal adhesion, and pickup is vital for producing a high-quality product. Maintaining good viscosity in the batter, and ensuring stability during production is also crucial. Our solutions can replace Xanthan and other commonly used gums in batters, leading to cost savings and a cleaner label while improving viscosity.

Unique clean label solutions

As a complement to our modified starch options, we offer unique clean label solutions. These products enhance the value of your finished produce by allowing for a cleaner label, as they are E-number free and simply declared as starch. Lyckeby Careful is produced using our patented Careful technique, designed to create high-quality clean label starches that provide functionalities similar to modified starches but with a lower environmental impact and a cleaner label. They are intended for use in the same processes and can replace modified starch without requiring changes to the method or dosage.
