Claim 2:
3. A method of making a food product coating composition comprising the steps of:
(1) heating a slurry comprising starch granules and water to a temperature in the range of 70° C. to 125° C. for a time sufficient to rupture the starch granules and form a polymerized starch comprising amylopectin chains and/or amylose chains dispersed in the water;
(2) optionally, cooling the slurry; and
(3) adding starch granules to the slurry comprising the polymerized starch and water, and heating the starch granules in the slurry to a temperature in the range of 45° C. to 85° C. for a time sufficient to cause the starch granules to swell, but not rupture,, whereby a coating composition is formed in which the swollen starch granules are embedded in a matrix formed by the amylopectin chains and/or amylose chains of the polymerized starch.
