In one embodiment, this invention is directed to a
protein containing composition for
coating a food product, comprising; a liquid batter
protein material comprising a liquid and a
soy protein material wherein the weight ratio of liquid to
soy protein material is from about 3-20 to 1; and a soy
fiber material; wherein the food product
coating has a non-
fiber carbohydrate content of not more than 5 grams non-
fiber carbohydrate per serving. In a second embodiment, the composition further comprises a pre-dust
protein material in addition to the liquid batter protein material and the soy fiber material. In a third embodiment, the composition comprises a liquid batter protein material comprising a liquid and a
soy protein material wherein the weight ratio of liquid to soy protein material is from about 3-20 to 1; a breading protein material containing at least 50% soy protein by weight on a
moisture free basis; and a soy fiber material; wherein the food product
coating has a non-fiber
carbohydrate content of not more than 5 grams non-fiber carbohydrate per serving. In a fourth embodiment, the composition further comprises a pre-dust protein material in addition to the liquid batter protein material, the breading protein material and the soy fiber material wherein the pre-dust protein material contains at least 50% soy protein by weight on a
moisture free basis. In a fifth embodiment, the composition comprises a liquid clear
coat protein material in addition to the liquid batter protein material, the breading protein material, the pre-dust protein material and the soy fiber material. The liquid clear
coat protein material comprises a liquid and a soy protein material wherein the weight ratio of liquid to soy protein material is from about 3-40 to 1.
