Pamela Low, who was credited with developing the flavored coating for Cap'n Crunch cereal, has died, her brother said. She was 79.
Low died Friday at New London Hospital.
Low, who lived in New London for the past 34 years, was working for the Arthur D. Little consulting firm in the Boston area when she was asked to help find a flavor for the corn-and-oat cereal. She had studied microbiology at the University of New Hampshire, but drew upon a recipe that her grandmother, Luella Low, used to serve at home in Derry.
"She used to serve rice with a butter-and-brown sugar sauce that she made. She'd serve it over the rice on Sundays," William Low, an Ohio resident and one of Pamela Low's younger brothers, recalled in an interview with the Lebanon Valley News on Saturday.
Cap'n Crunch was introduced in 1963, and has been enticing children and adults with a child's sweet tooth ever since.
