Abstract

The invention provides processes and apparatus for the preparation of puffed cereal cakes, in particular puffed rice cakes. The processes comprise molding puffed or unpuffed cereal grains under pressure with the application of ultrasound. The ultra-sound assists bonding of the cereal grains to form a solid cake. In one aspect, the starting material is prepuffed cereal grains, and these grains are coated with a binder agent and then bonded together at low temperature using ultrasound energy. The apparatus includes a mold (11) comprising a plurality of mold elements (9), including a reciprocally movable piston element (19) for compressing cereal grains inside the mold; and an ultrasonic oscillator (27) coupled to at least one of the mold elements to apply ultra-sound energy to the compressed cereal grains while the grains are compressed in the mold.
