Snacks for companion animals coated with raw meat and a manufacturing method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a snack for companion animals and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a snack for companion animals that can improve the preference of companion animals by coating a raw material meat capsule with a unique texture that bursts when chewed on the surface, and a method of manufacturing the same. will be.

As the number of people raising companion animals in Korea increases, products such as feed, nutritional supplements, therapeutic drugs, and other snacks related to pet dogs are increasing.

The most important thing in breeding companion animals is feed. The feed is a general ex-pended pellet manufactured by heat treatment by a compounded feed company, and a feed manufactured in the form of a "tablet" like a powder or pharmaceutical as a probiotic produced by an auxiliary feed company.

Conventional feed is provided by adding drugs to increase immunity, and companion animals are bred by eating only feed.

On the other hand, snacks for companion animals other than feed are provided in various forms, among which there are many snacks provided by processing meat, and snacks having a function of removing tartar are also widely provided for the dental health of companion animals.

However, most snacks for companion animals are formed to have a certain hardness to enable mastication for a long time. For this, since the surface of the snack is made hard, the preference of companion animals may be lowered if the same snack is repeatedly fed.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the accompanying drawings, but it will be described on the premise that the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

In the detailed description of the invention or in the claims, when any one component "includes" another component, it is not construed as being limited to only the component unless otherwise stated, and other components It is to be understood that it may further include.

Hereinafter, an example in which snacks for companion animals are implemented will be described through specific embodiments. 1 is a perspective view showing a snack 100 for companion animals of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional configuration taken along line A-A of FIG. 1.

As shown in the drawing, the snack 100 for companion animals according to the present invention includes a snack body 110, a coating layer 120 surrounding the outside of the snack body 110, and a plurality of raw meats attached to the coating layer 120. Includes a capsule 130.

At this time, the snack body 110 is provided to have a hard texture having a hardness of a certain standard for sufficient mastication of the companion animal, and the raw material meat capsule 130 attached to the surface is provided to have a soft texture obtained by kneading the raw material meat. . Thereby, the snack 100 for companion animals of the present invention has two different textures.

In particular, when chewing the raw material meat capsule 130 attached to the surface, the gluten layer 133 bursts and the inside raw material yukhwan 131 and the broth are chewed together. The preference of the companion animal for the snack 100 for companion animals may be improved by receiving.

The snack body 110 forms the shape of an overall snack, and is provided to have a certain hardness so as to remove tartar from teeth due to friction during the mastication movement of the companion animal. The snack body 110 may be formed in a rod shape as shown, or may be formed in various shapes, such as a bone shape, a disk shape, a fruit shape, etc., in some cases.

The snack body 110 of the present invention is formed by combining a plurality of strings 111, 113 and 115 having a thin and long shape. That is, the snack body 110 is formed by stacking a plurality of rows and columns in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction so that the plurality of strings 111, 113, and 115 can form a desired width and height.

The plurality of strings 111, 113, and 115 are formed by extruding any one of beef, pork, or chicken, or raw meat in which they are mixed, followed by drying. At this time, the plurality of strings 111, 113, and 115 are provided so that when a companion animal bites or applies pressure using teeth, it does not break into lumps and can be torn like the texture of meat.

Each string 111, 113, 115 is disposed adjacent to each other up and down for a structure that is torn like a grain of meat, and an additive syrup (not shown) not shown in the drawing is disposed between them. The added syrup (not shown) combines the neighboring strings 111, 113, and 115 with each other and allows each to be separated when an external force is applied.

The added syrup (not shown) is provided to impart bonding strength, molding stability, and sweetness. In addition, the added syrup (not shown) imparts elasticity and flexibility to each of the strings 111, 113, and 115 so that they can be torn smoothly without breaking. The added syrup (not shown) is one or more selected from the group consisting of palm oil, olive oil, soybean oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, rice bran oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, propylene glycol, glycerin, aloe vera, sorbitol, and glucose. I can.

The coating layer 120 is applied to the outside of the snack body 110 having a predetermined shape with a predetermined thickness to improve the palatability of the snack body 110 and allows a plurality of raw meat capsules 130 to be attached.

The coating layer 120 is formed by mixing a palatability enhancer, an antibacterial agent, a fragrance, and a pigment.

The coating layer 120 is composed of 3 to 20% by weight of a coating agent and a solvent (preferably water), and the coating agent is selected from one or more of gelatin, xanthan gum, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, carrageenan, agar, alginic acid, and methylcellulose. Can be used.

A coating agent such as gelatin is a protein made by partial hydrolysis of collagen, a protein of animal connective tissue, and is a raw material for manufacturing low-calorie foods. It is a powder with a juicy smell and taste, and is also used for surface coating to prevent moisture absorption and drying of various foods. If the amount of the coating agent used (diluted amount) is less than 0.5% by weight, the concentration of the coating layer 120 is too thin and the coating process takes too long, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, the concentration is too high and the coating surface is hardened due to the curing of the coating layer 120. It is not uniform, and the raw material meat capsule 130 is not smoothly attached, so that the quality of the product may be degraded.

The raw meat capsule 130 is attached to the surface of the coating layer 120 and is gently chewed when a companion animal bites it to enhance flavor and improve palatability.

The raw meat capsule 130 is formed of a raw material six ring 131 and a gluten layer 133 surrounding the raw material six ring 131 as shown enlarged in FIG. 2. The raw material yukhwan 131 is formed of raw meat dough such as beef, pork, chicken, etc. in the shape of a round ring having a predetermined size. The gluten layer 133 surrounds the outside of the raw material six ring 131 so that the raw material six ring 131 can maintain the moisture in the dough state.

When the companion animal bites the raw meat capsule 130 while the gluten layer 133 wraps the raw material six rings 131, the gluten layer 133 bursts and chews the soft raw raw six rings 131 inside. The companion animal feels it.

Figure 3 is a flow chart showing the manufacturing process of the snack for companion animals 100 of the present invention, Figure 4 is a flow chart showing the manufacturing process of raw meat capsules 130, Figures 5 to 7 are snacks for companion animals ( 100) are exemplary diagrams schematically showing the manufacturing process.

For the manufacture of snacks 100 for companion animals, the raw meat is first crushed and then the stock is added and kneaded (S110). Raw meats such as pork, beef, and chicken are kept frozen. After thawing the frozen raw meat, it is crushed into small particles. Then, the pulverized raw meat is kneaded by adding stock. In this case, starch, soybean meal, lecithin, plant fiber, protein processed into flour, and fat components may also be included.

The starch may be wheat starch or corn starch. These ingredients are mixed with raw meat in the form of a powder and kneaded, and heated to form a rice cake-like or cooked dough.

At this time, sugar is added for bonding strength, molding stability, and sweetness of the strings 111, 113 and 115 formed by the raw meat dough. This is to allow the strings 111, 113, and 115 to be torn in the longitudinal direction without being broken. The sugar may include at least one selected from isomalto oligosaccharide, fructo oligosaccharide, galacto oligosaccharide, soybean oligosaccharide, maltitol, sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol, erythritol, malto oligosaccharide, and the like.

The broth mixed with the raw material meat may be water obtained by boiling the raw material meat or water obtained by boiling the bark of a black oak tree. It is known to help with periodontitis because of its excellent antibacterial activity, to remove bad breath and prevent tooth decay, and to help prevent periodontal disease. When prepared by mixing the broth made from the bark bark with the raw material meat, not only has the effect of removing calculus when the companion animal masticates the snack (100) for the companion animal, but also removes bad breath and prevents tooth decay and periodontal disease by the ingredients of the bark tree. You can also get the effect.

The raw meat dough thus mixed is cooked by heating, and then put into an extruder and molded into a plurality of strings (S120).

5 is an exemplary view showing a process of extruding the raw meat dough (A) through the extruder (10). As shown, the extruder 10 has a plurality of extrusion holes corresponding to the diameters of the strings 111, 113, and 115 on the plate surface. When the raw meat dough (A) is pressed, strings 111, 113, and 115 are continuously discharged and molded through an extrusion hole. The plurality of strings 111, 113 and 115 discharged through the extruder 10 undergo a drying process.

At this time, each of the strings 111, 113, and 115 are dried to maintain a surface hardness of about 20A to 50A so that calculus can be removed through physical friction with teeth when the companion animal is masticated. If the surface hardness of the strings 111, 113 and 115 is less than 20A, it is not effective to remove calculus, and if the surface hardness is 50A or more, it is too hard and may put a burden on the teeth and gums of the companion animal.

On the other hand, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the raw meat dough was molded into a plurality of strings 111, 113 and 115 using an extruder. However, the process of molding into the strings 111, 113, and 115 may be performed by repeating the process of stretching and folding the raw meat dough without using an extruder.

The dried plurality of strings 111, 113, and 115 are cut to a predetermined length, combined into a plurality of columns and rows, and formed into a snack body 110 (S130).

6 is an exemplary view showing a process of forming the strings 111, 113, and 115 into a snack body 110. As shown, a plurality of strings 111, 113, and 115 are folded or stacked to a desired height, and are cut using a cutter 20 to a desired width (W) and length (l).

Each of the cut strings 111, 113, and 115 is adhered in a horizontal and vertical direction through an added syrup (not shown) to form a snack body 110.

A coating agent is applied to the surface of the molded snack body 110 to form a coating layer 120 (S140). The coating layer 120 may be formed by spraying the coating agent onto the surface of the snack body 110, or may be formed by immersing the snack body 110 in a container containing the coating agent.

The thickness of the coating layer 120 is preferably formed to be thin to a thickness of 2 to 5 mm so that the raw meat capsules 130 can be adhered. If the thickness of the coating layer 120 is too thick, the raw meat capsules 130 are deeply inserted into the coating layer 120, so that even if the companion animal bites the raw meat capsules 130, it may not be smoothly separated from the coating layer 120.

When the formation of the coating layer 120 is completed, the raw meat capsule 130 is attached to the snack body 110 (S150).

4 is a flowchart schematically showing the manufacturing process of the raw meat capsule 130. The raw meat capsule 130 is manufactured separately from the snack body 110 and then attached to the snack body 110.

In order to manufacture the raw meat capsule 130, the raw meat is first pulverized and then put into the stock and kneaded (S110). At this time, since the raw meat dough for the raw meat capsule 130 is not dried and is eaten by the companion animal, it is kneaded to have an appropriate moisture sensation in consideration of this.

Flavor syrup such as bacon syrup and milk syrup may be added to improve the palatability of pets when kneading raw meat. In addition, preservatives are added to prevent spoilage.

The raw meat dough is heated and cooked. The cooked raw material meat dough is rapidly cooled and then frozen, and then processed into a raw material six-circle 131 having a predetermined size (S220). The raw material yukhwan 131 is formed in a ring shape of a small size that the companion animal can eat in one bite.

The raw material six ring 131 is put into and removed from the melted gluten to form a gluten layer 133 (S230). Edible gluten is dissolved and prepared, and the worker immerses the raw material six rings 131 in gluten and then removes the raw material six rings 131 to coat the surface of the raw material six rings 131 with a gluten layer 133. The gluten layer 133 serves to prevent drying and decay of the raw material six ring 131.

The gluten on the surface of the raw material six rings 131 is dried and the raw meat capsule 130 is manufactured (S240). The plurality of raw meat capsules 130 thus prepared are attached to the snack body 110 (S250).

7 is an exemplary view showing a process of attaching the raw meat capsules 130 to the snack body 110. As shown, a plurality of raw meat capsules 130 are spread on the base plate 30, and the snack body 110 having the coating layer 120 formed thereon is rolled on the base plate 30 so that the raw meat capsules 130 are used as the snack body 110. To be attached to.

A plurality of raw meat capsules 130 are evenly attached to the coating layer 120 before being cured to complete the manufacture of the snacks 100 for companion animals.

When the companion animal eats the snack 100 for companion animals prepared in this way, the raw material meat capsule 130 on the surface comes into the mouth first. When the raw meat capsules 130 are chewed with their teeth, the gluten layer 133 on the surface of the raw meat capsules 130 is exploded and the raw material six rings 131 inside are chewed. Since the raw material yukhwan 131 is in a dough state, it is in a state that contains the broth, so you can feel the flavor of the raw meat and the moisture of the broth.

In addition, when the companion animal tears off the raw material meat capsules 130 on the surface and then tears the surface of the snack body 110, the strings 111, 113, and 115 are torn along the length direction as shown in FIG. 1. Companion animals can feel the fun of eating and tearing off the strings 111, 113, 115 one by one, and since the strings 111, 113, and 115 have a different hardness than the raw meat capsules 130, there is an effect of removing calculus by mastication.

The companion animal has the advantage of being able to feel two textures and tastes with one snack because the soft raw material meat capsule 130 on the surface and the snack body 110 inside are authored together, and the unique texture that the capsule bursts is felt. The preference for snacks can be increased.
