Abstract
The improved process for infusion of flavors into delicate shrimp and other seafood and consumable protein products involves utilization of a tumbler device with a drum inner chamber having screw-type baffles, each baffle having a product facing surface forming an acute angle with respect to the inner chamber surface. The tumbler drum variable in rotational speed and capable of maintaining a preset vacuum pressure within the chamber. Raw product is tumbled within the chamber under a predetermined pressure for a predetermined period at a predetermined rotational speed to infuse the flavor-profile brine within the seafood product.

A method for infusing flavors into delicate consumable proteins, the method steps comprising:
- depositing a protein product into a tumbler device (110) drum (202) chamber, the chamber comprising an internal spiral baffle (304) having a product facing surface (502) forming an acute angle (504) with respect to the chamber inner surface (306);
- adding a flavor profile brine to the chamber;
- establishing a vacuum pressure within the chamber;
- rotating the tumbler drum for a tumble period, beginning at a first speed and ending at a second speed;
- releasing the vacuum pressure for removal of the protein product from the tumbler device for subsequent processing.
