PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coating material which changes color into a favorable light brown color by cooking with heat, having a texture with fragrance.SOLUTION: The raw materials of the coating material include wheat flour, glycine, pentasaccharide or hexasaccharide, and a subsidiary material which are blended. The raw materials of the coating material is kneaded along with high-temperature heating and shearing so as to make a kneaded dough. The kneaded dough is puffed by extrusion under pressure so as to form a pregelatinized pre-product of coating material. The pregelatinized pre-product of coating material is cooled and pulverized. The pulverized product is dried to have an adjusted water content of 1 to 13% relative to the unit mass of the pulverized product. The coating material is thereby obtained.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】加熱調理によって程良いキツネ色に変色し、香ばしい食感を有する衣材を提供する。【解決手段】小麦粉とグリシンと5単糖又は6単糖と副資材とを配合してなる衣材原料を、該衣材原料に対して高温加熱と剪断とを伴なう混練をした混練生地とし、前記混練生地を加圧押し出しにより膨化させてα化した衣材前製品を形成し、前記α化した衣材前製品を冷却するとともに粉砕し、前記粉砕物を乾燥させて水分量を、該粉砕物単位質量に対し1~13%に調整して衣材を得る。【選択図】なし
