Zusammenfassung:The invention provides methods and compositions suitable for maintaining the freshness of loaf-type food products in a sauce or gel of suitable viscosity for an extended period. When the loaf-type food products are emptied from a container, the sauce or gel covers the exposed surfaces of the loaf-type food products and does not drip off or dry out. After more than six hours, the loaf-type food products still retain their original color and fresh wet appearance without any crust formation. Accordingly, the invention solves the problems associated with the rapid crusting/drying, color change, off odor, staleness and reduced visual appeal of the loaf-type food products after they have been exposed to air for long time periods.
