Abstract
An apparatus and method for infusing flavors into cereal grains and agglomerating the grains into a unitary food product.
Grains of cereal, powdered soluble and/or insoluble flavors and a moisturizing liquid are supplied to a mixer (28). The flavors, liquid and cereal grains are thoroughly mixed and the grains surface moisturized and then discharged into a product-forming chamber (72) formed by the side walls of a chamber plate (70) and the product forming cavity of a vertically reciprocable stack assembly (86) which is ultrasonically energized for a sufficient period of time so that the flavors are infused within the interiors of the grains which are agglomerated into a unitary product.
