Abstract
This invention is a method for making agglomerated bits. The agglomerated bits are made by mixing aspartame and a bulking agent, desirably maltodextrin, with starch and a gum. Flavorings and dispersing agents can be added to this blend. Upon mixing of this blend, a vegetable oil and water mixture is added to the dry ingredients with mixing which causes agglomeration to occur. Following agglomeration, the agglomerated bits are dried and sifted through a screen. The agglomerated bits are suitable for use in home-cooked grain cereals and other foods.
