It is a typical perspective view of a Postwick viscosity measuring device.

《Pet food》
<First embodiment>
The pet food according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a solid ingredient that does not pass through a sieve having an opening of 710 μm, has a water content of 80.0% by weight or more, and has fluidity.

  Here, “having fluidity” means being indefinite, changing the shape according to the shape of the container, or having the property of flowing under the measurement conditions of the Postwick viscosity measuring device described later.

The size of the solid material is not particularly limited as long as it does not pass through a sieve having an opening of 710 μm, that is, a mesh filter having an opening having a side of 710 μm. From the viewpoint of enhancing the entanglement between the solid ingredient and the liquid or paste-like component in the pet food, and improving the palatability and the complete meal rate (the ratio of being eaten all without leaving), the solid ingredient The size of the material is
A size that does not pass through a sieve with an opening of 10 mm and passes through a sieve with an opening of 710 μm is preferable, a size that passes through a sieve with an opening of 5 mm and does not pass through a sieve with an opening of 710 μm is more preferable, and a sieve with an opening of 1 mm A size that does not pass through a sieve having a mesh size of 710 μm is more preferable.

  The solid ingredients that pass through the sieve with a mesh opening of 10 mm are sufficiently entangled with the liquid (soup-like) or paste-like ingredients of the pet food, and the solid ingredients are also entangled with each other. Can be improved. The entanglement degree increases as the size of the solid ingredient decreases, and the palatability and the complete meal rate tend to be further improved. You may change 710 micrometers which is a lower limit of a mesh opening in the range of 680 micrometers-740 micrometers. When the solid ingredient is larger than the lower limit value, a solid texture that cannot be obtained from mere liquid soup (pet food) can be obtained. Conceivable.

  Here, when the said solid ingredient is "the magnitude | size which does not pass a 710 micrometers opening sieve", the said solid ingredient has a diameter or edge | side longer than 710 micrometers. Similarly, when the solid material is “sized to pass through a sieve having an opening of 10 mm”, the longest diameter (the length of the extension) of the solid material is shorter than 10 mm.

The method of examining whether the solid material passes through the sieve of the opening or remains on the sieve is, the pet food of the first embodiment is placed on the sieve and passed through the sieve after a lapse of a predetermined time or You can check if it remains on the sieve. The remaining amount corresponds to the content of the solid ingredient. Usually, the said solid ingredient contains a water | moisture content.
The predetermined time means a time that does not produce a material that passes through the sieve due to a natural fall even when time passes, and usually 0.5 to 24 hours is sufficient. The area of the sieve is not particularly limited, but clogging may occur when an extremely small area sieve is used. A sieve having an area enough to avoid clogging may be used. When placing the pet food on a sieve, it is usually appropriate to place the pet food so as to have a thickness of about 0.5 cm to 5.0 cm.

  The content of the solid ingredients (residual amount of shred) in the pet food of the first embodiment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 12.0 to 23.0% by weight from the viewpoint of improving the palatability and the complete meal rate, 12.5-21.0 weight% is more preferable, 13.0-20.0 weight% is further more preferable, and 13.5-19.0 weight% is especially preferable.

  The raw material of the pet food of the first embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is a raw material that can realize the size and moisture content of the solid ingredients, and those commonly used as a complete nutritional food for pet food are applied. it can. As the raw material, in addition to protein components, carbohydrate components, vitamins, minerals, salts, fats, oils, animal food extracts (extracts) and the like may be added.

  In the case of using fish such as tuna, sardines, skipjack, or livestock such as cows, pigs, chickens, etc. as protein components contained in the raw material of the pet food of the first embodiment, these raw materials are heated or It does not matter if it is cooked.

  The filling amount of the solid component contained in the pet food of the first embodiment (Fill Weight) (hereinafter simply referred to as “FW”) is not particularly limited, but the pet food contains sufficient nutrition, From the viewpoint of improving the palatability of pets, 10.0 to 18.0% by weight is preferable, 10.5 to 16.0% by weight is more preferable, 11.0 to 15.0% by weight is further preferable, and 12. 0 to 14.0% by weight is particularly preferred.

  In the present invention, FW (fill weight) means the content (unit:% by weight) of a solid component contained per unit weight of pet food. The solid component does not mean a solid component (solid ingredient) having a specific shape, but means a solid component remaining after evaporation of moisture from pet food. That is, FW is the proportion of the total weight of pet food occupied by the weight of all solid components excluding moisture. Therefore, the weight of the solid component is not limited to the ingredients (solid ingredients) contained as a solid in the pet food, but also includes the weight of ingredients dissolved in liquid or paste-crushed ingredients. is there.

  The viscosity of the pet food of the first embodiment is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the viscosity measured by a Boostwick viscometer is 9.0 to 16.0 cm / min. Since pet food that satisfies this condition is very easy to eat, it is possible to improve the pet's palatability and the complete meal rate.

  The Postwick Consistometer is well known in the food industry as an instrument for measuring the consistency of food. The appearance is shown in FIG. The measuring method is as follows. First, in a state where the gate 1 is lowered (FIG. 1A), a predetermined amount of sample is poured into the upstream portion 2. Next, the lever 3 is turned to raise the gate 1 and simultaneously start time measurement. By raising the gate 1, the sample 2 flows from the upstream portion 2 through the opening 6 toward the downstream portion 4 (FIG. 1 (b)). When a predetermined time elapses, the distance reached by the tip of the sample that has flowed is measured.

In the present invention, values measured under the following conditions are shown.
The measuring device was placed on a horizontal base, and the height adjusting screw 5 was adjusted to set the downstream portion 4 as a slide base in a state tilted by 1 degree with respect to the horizontal. The width of the downstream part 4 and the upstream part 2 is 5 cm. The measurement was performed under conditions of a sample temperature of 25 ° C. and a room temperature of 25 ° C. 92.5 ml of the sample was poured into the upstream portion 2 and the distance reached by the tip of the sample when 1 minute had passed after the gate 1 was opened was measured. The position of the gate 1 was the standard (0.0 cm), and the measurement was performed in 0.5 cm steps.

  Although the said viscosity will not be restrict | limited especially if it is the range of 9.0-16.0 cm / min, 9.5-15.5 cm / min is preferable from a viewpoint of improving the palatability of a pet, and 10.0-15 0.5 cm / min is more preferable, 10.5 to 15.5 cm / min is more preferable, 11.0 to 15.5 cm / min is particularly preferable, and 11.5 to 15.0 cm / min is most preferable.

  The water content is not particularly limited as long as it is 80.0% by weight or more, but from the viewpoint of improving the pet's palatability and increasing the water intake of the pet, 84.0-90.0% by weight is preferable. 85.0-89.5 weight% is more preferable, and 86.0-89.0 weight% is further more preferable.

《Pet food production method》
The method for producing the pet food according to the first embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, in order to adjust the viscosity, a thickener may be added as a raw material.
Examples of the thickener include polysaccharides such as guar gum, starch, carrageenan, xanthan gum and locust bean gum.

  From the viewpoint of increasing the nutritional value of the pet food of the first embodiment, for example, 50 wt% or more or 50 to 99 wt% of the solid component weight (FW) excluding moisture of the pet food is a protein component. Can be adopted. Moreover, the structure which 50 weight% or more or 50-99 weight% is a component derived from fish is also employable, for example. With these configurations, the preference for cats can be improved.

  A pet suitable for cats when the pet food of the first embodiment is packaged and sold in order to inform the pet owner that the pet food of the first embodiment is suitable for feeding to the cat. The fact that it is a food can be displayed on the packaging and sold.

  The pet food of the first embodiment can be produced, for example, by mixing a protein component and water and adding a thickener as necessary. The mixing method is not particularly limited, and a known method using a mixer or a mincer is applicable, and it is preferable to employ a method that can uniformly mix. By mixing (processing) the protein component in a minced form in advance and mixing it with other raw materials, each raw material can be mixed more uniformly. A part of pet food may be paste-like after mixing. The solid ingredient may be dispersed in a pasty pet food. The ingredients in the pet food are uniformly mixed or a part of the pet food is pasty so that the pet is prevented from eating only a part of the pet food or only a part of the ingredients. The meal rate can be improved.

  Here, “pasty” means at least fluidity and a state of higher viscosity (viscosity) than water. Examples of the viscosity include a state in which the viscosity is 9.0 to 16.0 cm / min, for example, when measured with the above-mentioned Boostwick viscosity measuring device. When a part of the pet food of the first embodiment is pasty, the pasty part (component) may contain a very small solid ingredient that passes through a 710 μm sieve.

  The time and temperature for mixing the raw materials can be set as appropriate. By adjusting the mixing time, the size of the solid ingredient and the viscosity of the pet food can be adjusted. Moreover, the viscosity and water content of the pet food can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of water to be mixed. The viscosity of the pet food can be adjusted by the blending amount of the thickener. Moreover, FW can be adjusted by adjusting the weight of the material containing a solid component with respect to the weight of all the materials which comprise pet food.

The pet food of the first embodiment is preferably not in a form in which the solid ingredients and the liquid soup are separated, but in a form in which the paste-like component having the moisture content described above and the solid ingredients are intertwined. If the soup and the solid ingredients are separated, it is highly possible that only the soup is eaten and the solid ingredients are left behind. Furthermore, the same problem exists in a pet food comprising a jelly-like (gel-like) soup obtained by including gelatin in the soup and solidified. That is, since the jelly-like soup and the solid ingredient are substantially separated, there is a high possibility that only the jelly-like soup is eaten and the solid ingredient is left.
Based on such problems, the pet food of the first embodiment has at least a part of a paste-like form (component) having the water content described above, not a form in which the soup ingredients and the solid ingredients are separated. Is preferred. Furthermore, it is more preferable that the viscosity of the pet food including the pasty form is the specific viscosity described above. By having these paste-like components, the solid ingredients become intertwined with the paste-like ingredients, so that the solid ingredients are carried into the pet's mouth together with the paste-like ingredients. As a result, the completion rate of the pet food according to the first embodiment can be further improved. The paste-like component may include a component in which a part of the raw material is crushed or dissolved.

  The pet food of the first embodiment may be stored in a sealed container in a vacuum. Under the present circumstances, you may preserve | save in the pouch process (laminate process) pouch container applied to a conventionally well-known retort food. The amount of pet food stored in the container may be stored in individual containers, for example, by subdividing about one serving, or multiple servings (for example, three servings) may be stored together in a large-capacity container. Absent. Further, from the viewpoint of enabling long-term storage, the pouch container may be filled with pet food and then sterilized by a conventionally known heat treatment or pressure treatment.

  The pet food of the first embodiment may be stored in a metal can or a plastic cup container, but it is preferably stored in a vacuum in the pouch container. Since the pouch container is a flexible container, the pet food of the first embodiment can be easily taken out of the container. At this time, by handling (squeezing) the pouch container and taking the pet food out of the container, it is possible to avoid the solid ingredients constituting the pet food of the first embodiment remaining in the container. Since the solid material has a relatively small shape, if it remains in a can or cup container, it takes time (labor) to take it out. This problem can be solved by using a pouch container. In general, even when pet food is given to a pet in a can or cup container, it is difficult to eat due to the narrow mouth of the container, and the pet food is often left uneaten. For this reason, it is important that the pet food can be easily taken out from the container. In addition, it is important that the container after taking out the pet food is easy to discard, but the pouch container is not bulky and is easy to discard.

  The pet food of the first embodiment is preferably eaten by animals other than plants, cats and dogs are preferred, and cats are particularly preferred.

  In the present specification and claims, “pet” refers to an animal kept by a human. In a narrower sense, pets are animals petted by their owners. “Pet food” refers to pet feed. The pet food according to the present invention can be sold as “animal feed” or “animal food”.

  EXAMPLES Next, although an Example is shown and this invention is demonstrated further in detail, this invention is not limited to a following example. Hereinafter, “%” means “% by weight”.

[Manufacture of pet food]
The pet food of each test example was manufactured by grind | pulverizing a tuna, the thickener containing a guar gum, an animal extract, and water with the grinder with the compounding ratio shown in Table 1, and mixing uniformly with a mixer. . Table 1 shows the content, viscosity, FW, and moisture content of the solid ingredient 1 of each pet food.

  In Table 1, the solid ingredient 1 means the content (unit:% by weight) of the solid ingredient that passes through a filter with an opening of 1 mm and does not pass through a filter with an opening of 710 μm. The size of each solid ingredient is the size in the state of being included in the pet food.

In Table 1, the viscosity is a value (unit: cm / min) measured under the above-described conditions using a Postwick viscometer (model number: CSC 24925-000, manufactured by CSC Scientific). FW is an amount represented by the following formula (1).
FW = (weight of solid component obtained by evaporating water from pet food) / (weight of original pet food) × 100 (%) (1)
The moisture content of the pet food is 100-FW (%).
A constant temperature dryer (model number: DS400, manufactured by Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd.) was used for the measurement of the water content and FW.

[Production of Comparative Example]
The pet food of Comparative Example 1 was produced as follows. Since Comparative Example 1 was in a jelly form (solid form) without fluidity, the viscosity was 0 cm / min.
First, the size was adjusted so that the tuna had a flake shape of 5 to 10 mm and mixed with a thickener to obtain ingredients. Next, water, thickener, animal extract and corn starch were mixed to obtain a thickener for jelly. Subsequently, the pouch container was filled with ingredients and a thickener for jelly, sealed, and heated, pressurized, and sterilized.
Table 1 shows the compounding ratio of Comparative Example 1, the content of the solid ingredient 1, the viscosity, the FW, and the water content. The FW and water content of Comparative Example 1 are not described because they have not been measured.

[Preference evaluation]
The palatability with respect to the cat of each manufactured pet food was evaluated by the following method.
The results are also shown in Table 2. In Table 2, the notation “numerical value A: numerical value B” indicates that the numerical value A indicates the degree of preference (degree) for each test example, and the numerical value B indicates the degree of preference (degree) for the comparative example. Numerical value A + numerical value B = 100. When the numerical value A was 61 or more, it evaluated that the preference with respect to the said test example was high ((circle)). When the numerical value A was less than 50 to 61, the preference for the test example was evaluated to be comparable (Δ) to the conventional example. When the numerical value A was less than 50, it was evaluated that the preference for the test example was inferior to that of the conventional example (x).

The evaluation method of palatability is as follows.
First, a total of 16 sets of pet foods were prepared by combining Test Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Examples. For each set, 20 cats were tested for 2 days as monitors.
On the first day, 40 g of each set of pet food was fed simultaneously from one to the left and the other from the right to one cat, and the amount the cat ate was measured after 1 hour.
Of the total pet food weight that one cat ate on the first day, the intake amount of the pet food of the test example and the intake amount of the pet food of the comparative example were determined in percentage. The percentages obtained from the 20 cats that were monitors were averaged to give the results for the first day.
On the second day, one set of pet food was fed from the right, the other from the left, and 40 g per cat was simultaneously fed, and the amount eaten by the cat was measured after 1 hour.
Of the total pet food weight that one cat ate on the second day, the intake amount of the pet food of the test example and the intake amount of the pet food of the comparative example were determined in percentage. The percentages obtained from the 20 cats that were monitors were averaged to obtain the result of the second day.
Finally, the results of the first day and the second day were averaged to determine the ratio of food intake (preference) which is the final result. The higher the preference value, the more the cat that is the monitor likes to eat.

[Evaluation of complete meal rate]
Along with the evaluation of palatability, the complete meal rate was also evaluated. In the above test, the complete meal rate was evaluated by the following formula (2).
Completion rate = (number of times each pet food was completed) / (number of times each pet food was provided) × 100 (2)
As a result, the complete meal rate of the test example with high palatability tended to be higher than that of Comparative Example 1.

  From the above results, Test Examples 1, 3-7, 9-14, and 16 had the same or better palatability as the comparative example, and the complete meal rate was improved. ) Is better than

Further, in Test Example 3 in which the viscosity was 9.0 cm / min and the FW was 15.8% by weight, the palatability was particularly improved. From this result, it is understood that the palatability is further improved when the viscosity is 9.0 to 9.5 cm / min and the filling amount of the solid component is 15.0 to 16.5% by weight.
Further, in Test Examples 5 and 6 in which the viscosity was 11.5 cm / min and the FW was 12.0 to 13.7% by weight, the palatability was particularly improved. From this result, it is understood that the palatability is further improved when the viscosity is 11.0 to 12.0 cm / min and the filling amount of the solid component is 12.0 to 14.0% by weight.
In addition, in Test Examples 9 to 11 having a viscosity of 15.0 cm / min and a FW of 11.1 to 12.7% by weight, palatability was particularly improved. From this result, it is understood that the palatability is further improved when the viscosity is 14.5 to 15.5 cm / min and the filling amount of the solid component is 10.8 to 13.0% by weight.

Also, from Table 1, the following can be understood.
In Test Example 3 in which the viscosity was 9.0 cm / min and the content of the solid ingredient 1 was 21.9% by weight, the palatability was particularly improved. From this result, it is understood that the palatability is further improved when the viscosity is 9.0 to 9.5 cm / min and the content of the solid ingredient 1 is 21.0 to 23.0% by weight. The
Further, in Test Examples 5 and 6 in which the viscosity was 11.5 cm / min and the content of the solid ingredient 1 was 13.6 or 18.6% by weight, palatability was particularly improved. From this result, it is understood that the palatability is further improved when the viscosity is 11.0 to 12.0 cm / min and the content of the solid ingredient 1 is 13.0 to 19.0% by weight. The
In addition, in Test Examples 9 to 11 in which the viscosity is 15.0 cm / min and the content of the solid ingredient 1 is 12.8, 13.7, or 18.0% by weight, palatability is particularly improved. It was. From this result, it is understood that the palatability is further improved when the viscosity is 14.5 to 15.5 cm / min and the content of the solid ingredient 1 is 12.0 to 20.0% by weight.
