Revolutionize Your Breading: Achieve Perfect Crunch Without Frying


  • New Lory® Crumb extrudates provide a satisfying crunch and strong coating adhesion without added fat or deep-frying.
  • Range includes sweet, salty, and spicy varieties, suitable for a wide range of snacks.
  • Available in medium and coarse granulations, allowing the coating to be tailored to different substrates.
  • The Lory® Starch Opal enhances the performance of the non-fry crumbs.

Food ingredients expert Loryma introduces an innovative solution for crispy coatings that meet growing demand for healthier, low-fat convenience products. The new wheat-based Lory® Crumb extrudates give breaded products a deliciously crunchy texture without the need for added fat or deep-frying. These reduced-fat products can be easily prepared in an oven or air fryer, delivering an appealing golden-brown finish.

Be they sweet, salty or spicy, the new Lory® Crumb varieties allow for the creation of a wide range of on-trend snacks such as bitterballen, chicken nuggets, vegetable patties and plant-based meat replacers. The Lory® Crumb range is available in two granulations – medium and coarse – allowing the coating to be tailored to different substrates.

High-quality, low-fat
The innovative wheat-based crumbs by Loryma eliminate the frying step entirely, both for producers and consumers. This advanced solution ensures a satisfying crunch and strong coating adhesion, even during extended warming periods, making it ideal for foodservice environments. Furthermore, manufacturers benefit from a more resource-efficient, sustainable and cost-effective production process, with reduced oil usage, energy savings and fewer cleaning requirements. Thus, they can streamline production while offering added value to consumers, allowing them to use just an oven or air fryer to enjoy crisp, golden-brown snacks with an improved Nutri-Score.

To enhance performance of the non-fry crumbs, Lory® Starch Opal is the perfect inclusion. This cold-swelling starch works as a wet batter, securing crumbs to the substrate without the need for heat. It forms a thin film that enhances the product’s crunchiness and, with an additional dusting, further boosts crispness.

Rising demand for convenience foods
A recent study by the German Frozen Food Institute1, involving 1,006 participants, revealed that one-third of respondents consume ready-made products at least once a week, with men, younger people and frozen food fans more likely to do so. Convenience remains a key factor for those who appreciate the ability to prepare quick meals when lacking time or motivation, while taste remains the top priority for 81% of consumers when purchasing convenience foods. The future of snacks will increasingly focus on delivering enjoyment with added benefits, including products that are low in sugar and fat, natural and full of flavour.2

With increasing demand for easy-to-prepare products that are lower in fat and calories, Non-Fry options from the Lory® Crumb range enable manufacturers to effectively meet this challenge in breaded applications.

The trend towards low-fat preparation of convenience foods using air fryers or ovens is on the rise,
as highlighted by the latest trend report from the German Frozen Food Institute,
” says Birgit Grünloh,
Product Manager at Loryma. “We offer manufacturers a perfectly coordinated system solution to
precisely meet specific customer demands. This expertise creates a win-win situation: consumers
enjoy the highest quality and reducedfat indulgence, while manufacturers benefit from efficient and
cost-saving production
.”
