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.

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil de préparation de gâteaux aux céréales soufflées, en particulier de gâteaux au riz soufflé. Ces procédés consistent à mouler sous pression des grains de céréales soufflés ou non soufflés, tout en appliquant des ultrasons. Ces ultrasons permettent de lier les grains de céréales entre eux pour former un gâteau solide. Dans un aspect de l'invention, les grains de céréales présoufflés constituent la matière première, ces grains étant ensuite enrobés au moyen d'un liant, puis liés les uns aux autres à basse température grâce à l'énergie ultrasonore. L'appareil comprend un moule (11), pourvu de plusieurs éléments de moule (9), notamment un piston (19) pouvant être animé d'un mouvement alternatif pour comprimer les grains de céréales à l'intérieur dudit moule; l'appareil comprend également un oscillateur ultrasonore (27) couplé à au moins un des éléments de moule afin d'appliquer l'énergie ultrasonore aux grains de céréales comprimés, pendant que lesdits grains sont comprimés dans le moule.
