Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a pet animal gum.

  The population who keeps pets as pets is increasing year by year. Such pets are very cute and valued by their owners. In particular, in recent years, many owners place importance on the health of pet animals, such as having a veterinarian in a veterinary hospital immediately consult with a veterinarian when a pet animal feels sick.

  Such pets cannot brush their teeth by brushing themselves, so that calculus and plaque can accumulate and cause periodontal disease, and dental health is regarded as a problem.

  In order to improve the dental health of this pet animal, conventionally, a gum for chewing a pet animal composed of an animal skin such as cowhide has been proposed.

  For example, the thing of the enclosure structure comprised so that beef may be covered with cowhide like the dog food of patent document 1 (Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2004-261333) is proposed.

  Further, for example, as in the pet food described in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-166794), a chicken breast fillet that has been flattened is wound around a core food such as vegetables or cowhide. What has been proposed is proposed.

  However, in the dog food described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-261033) described above, although beef is used, it is possible that the appetite of the pet animal is appetizing, but the internal beef is completely covered by the external cowhide. Since it is covered, it is difficult to make the pet animal visually recognize the beef portion in the first place, and it may be difficult to give the pet animal a chance to eat it.

  In addition, in the pet food described in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-166794) described above, the chicken breast fillet that has been flattened is simply wrapped around, so that the chicken breast fillet adheres to the core ingredients. Is not secured enough. For this reason, even if the pet animal bites into the pet food, the chicken fillet meat may be peeled off from the core food immediately after the pet animal starts to chew. For this reason, even if cowhide is used as the core ingredient, the interest of the pet animal for the cowhide isolated from the chicken fillet meat has diminished, making it difficult to chew the cowhide sufficiently to obtain a brushing effect. There is a risk of becoming.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described points, and an object of the present invention is a portion composed of animal skins while maintaining the state of interest of pet animals by making animal flesh visible. Moreover, it is providing the manufacturing method of the pet animal gum for obtaining the gum for pet animals which can acquire sufficient toothbrushing effect by continuing chewing together.

The method for producing a pet animal gum according to the first aspect includes a step of preparing a rod-shaped core food material, a step of preparing a meat material, a step of obtaining a material with undried meat material, and a dry integration step. . In the step of preparing the rod-shaped core food material, a rod-shaped core food material is prepared by drying and curing the animal skin until the moisture content becomes 2% to 25% . In the step of preparing the meat material, an undried meat material prepared from minced raw animal meat is prepared. In the step of obtaining the undried meat material, the meat material is attached to the rod-shaped core food material so as to cover the surface around the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped core food material to obtain the undried meat material material. In the dry integration step, the meat material portion of the material with undried meat material is dried, so that the meat material is contracted more than the rod-shaped core food material, and the meat material is integrated with the rod-shaped core food material. In the process of obtaining the raw material with undried meat, the meat is pressed against the rod-shaped core food when the rod-shaped core food and the meat are extruded together from the tapered nozzle toward the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped core food. Adhere to.

  Here, the preparation of the rod-shaped core food material may be prepared commercially. Similarly, the meat material may be prepared by purchasing it commercially. In addition, the form of the finally obtained gum for pet animals is not particularly limited. For example, in the form obtained by cutting at a predetermined interval with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped core food after passing through the dry integration step. There may be. In addition, the rod-shaped core food material may be obtained by cutting an animal skin into a long and thin bar shape and drying and curing it. It may be dried and cured.

  Here, the moisture content can also be referred to as a moisture content, for example, a value obtained by measurement with a heat drying moisture meter. As the heat drying type moisture meter, “heat drying type moisture meter ML-50” manufactured by A & D Co., Ltd. can be used.

  The pet animal gum obtained by this method for producing a pet animal gum is composed of meat on the outside, so that the pet animal can keep the meat directly visible and promote the appetite's appetite. , Can bite better.

  And since the rod-shaped core food material that dried and hardened the animal skin is located inside the meat material, the teeth of the pet animal that bite the pet animal gum, when biting the outer meat material, It reaches the inner rod-shaped foodstuff. For this reason, the teeth of pet animals are rubbed against the inner rod-shaped core food material, so that the dirt is removed and a tooth brushing effect can be obtained.

  Moreover, in the manufacturing process of a pet animal gum in which such an outer side is constituted by a meat material and an inner side is constituted by a rod-shaped core food material, the rod-shaped core food material before the undried meat material is attached around In this stage, it is previously dried and cured. And, in the drying integration process, the meat portion of the material with undried meat material is dried to shrink the meat material more than the rod-shaped core food material, so that the surface around the rod-shaped core food material goes around When the provided meat material dries and shrinks, the meat material shrinks so as to narrow the inner rod-shaped core food material. As a result, the meat material is sufficiently adhered to the rod-shaped core food material and cured and integrated, so that the meat material can be prevented from peeling off from the rod-shaped core food material. Therefore, even when the pet animal bites or chews the pet animal gum, it is necessary to prevent the meat material and the rod-shaped core food material from separating as much as possible until the pet animal gum is completely consumed. It becomes possible.

  As a result, while the pet animal is eating the pet animal gum, the meat material and the rod-shaped core food material remain integrated while maintaining the state in which the appetite is increased by keeping the meat material visible. The chewing gum can be chewed, and the tooth brushing effect can be continuously obtained until the meal is completed.

Further, in this method for producing a pet animal gum, a rod-shaped core food material that has already been sufficiently dried is prepared and used before the drying integration step of integrating the meat material with the rod-shaped core food material. For this reason, the extent to which a rod-shaped core foodstuff shrink | contracts in the case of a dry integration process can be restrained small. Thereby, the ratio of the contraction degree of the meat material to the contraction degree of the rod-shaped core food material can be increased, and the fixation of the meat material to the rod-shaped core food material can be further strengthened.

Also, in this method for manufacturing a pet animal gum, the meat is dried in a state where adhesion is increased by being pressed against the rod-shaped core food, so that the meat is firmly fixed to the rod-shaped core food. It becomes possible to make it.

Method of manufacturing a pet chew according to the second aspect provides a method of manufacturing a pet chew according to the first aspect, the meat material undried which is the sum of the weight of the water wall pipes and meat material is held The undried meat material is dried until the weight is reduced by 30% to 60%.

  Here, for example, when the weight of the undried meat material is 100 g and the weight of the moisture held by the meat material and the meat material is 60 g, it is reduced by 40 g. As a result, 40 g out of 100 g is reduced, so that it is determined that “the dried meat has been dried until the weight is reduced by 40%”.

  In this method for manufacturing a pet animal gum, the weight of the undried meat material is greatly reduced before and after the drying integration step of integrating the meat material with the rod-shaped core food material. For this reason, the contraction degree of the meat material in the dry integration step can be further increased, and the fixation of the meat material to the rod-shaped core food material can be further strengthened.

Method of manufacturing a pet chew according to the third aspect, including the method of manufacturing a pet chew according to the first aspect or the second aspect, in the step of preparing a rod-shaped core ingredients, water tore animal skins After forming into a paste, a rod-shaped core food is prepared by forming into a rod and drying and curing.

  The method for tearing the animal skin is not particularly limited, and it may be a method in which the animal skin is ground or scraped off by a machine or by hand.

  In this method for manufacturing a pet animal gum, when preparing a rod-shaped core food material, the peeled animal skin is moistened into a paste so that the shape of the rod-shaped core food material is changed to a desired shape. It has become easier. And even if it is a case where a water | moisture content is included so that it may be set as a desired shape in this way, the rod-shaped core foodstuff is dry-hardened before the process of obtaining an undried meat-equipped material. For this reason, even if it is a case where the rod-shaped core foodstuff of a desired shape is used, it becomes possible to obtain a tooth brushing effect continuously, maintaining the state where appetite was raised.

  Hereinafter, each step will be described.

(1) Step S10 of preparing a dried rod-shaped core food
In Step 10, a rod-like dried material obtained from the dermis of an animal, which will constitute the core material of a pet animal gum, is prepared.

  Specifically, the part of the dermis 6 is taken out in the form as shown in FIG. 3 from the animal skin as shown in the schematic sectional view of FIG. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the animal skin is composed of the epidermis 5, the dermis 6, and the subcutaneous tissue 7 in this order from the outside. The epidermis 5 is a tissue located most outside the body constituting the skin of an animal. The subcutaneous tissue 4 includes internal organs and fat. In this embodiment, a portion of the dermis 6 layer is used. The skin of this animal is not particularly limited. For example, one kind of dermis selected from the group consisting of cattle, pigs, horses, deer, kangaroos, ostriches, sheep, goats, and rabbits, or two or more kinds of dermis It may be used as a combination of the dermis, and among them, cattle dermis is preferable. The means for preparing animal dermis is not particularly limited, and may be obtained by ordinary commercial techniques.

  Next, the dermis taken out in this way is formed into a rod shape by (a) cutting it into thin strips, or (b) forming a finely crushed and minced product. Note that the dermis (b) that has been finely crushed and split into minced shapes is mixed with water to form a paste and then shaped into a rod. The weight ratio of the dermis to the water added here is preferably 5: 1 to 5: 4, more preferably 5: 2 to 5: 3. In this stage, although not particularly limited, for example, collagen, rice flour, tapioca, glycerin, sorbitol, guar gum, flavonoid, vitamin E, calcium carbonate, skipjack extract, ethanol, cellulose fiber, etc. may be added as appropriate. . Of these, when adding collagen, for example, it is preferably 10% or more and 30% or less of the total weight of the dermis and water. When adding rice flour, for example, 2% of the total weight of the dermis and water is used. % To 8% or less, and when adding tapioca, for example, it is preferably 5% to 15% of the total weight of the dermis and water. Moreover, about the other component which may be added suitably, when adding, it is preferable that it is 1% or less of the total weight of dermis and water.

  The dermis prepared as described above (a) as it is cut into thin strips, or (b) the paste-like dermis is molded into a rod shape and dried. Although it does not specifically limit as rod shape, Polygon shapes, such as column shape, cylindrical shape, triangular prism shape, and quadrangular prism shape, etc. are mentioned. In this embodiment, the rod-shaped core foodstuff 11 as shown in FIG. 4 is obtained by shape | molding into a substantially cylindrical rod shape and making it dry.

  Although drying here is not specifically limited, For example, (a) About the dermis which has been cut | disconnected long, it is dried for 4 hours or more in a dryer with a temperature of 60 degreeC humidity 20% or less. Further, for example, (b) the pasty dermis is dried for 20 hours or more in a dryer having a temperature of 62 ° C. and a humidity of 10% to 50% after molding. Note that (b) in the drying process of the paste-like dermis, the inside of the dryer becomes about 80% humidity in the first 5 hours, the inside of the dryer becomes about 50% humidity for the next 2 hours, and the subsequent 6 hours. During the time, the humidity in the dryer becomes about 20%, and thereafter, the humidity in the dryer becomes 10% or less.

  Thus, since the rod-shaped dermis is sufficiently dried in the dryer, the rod-shaped core food material 11 obtained after drying has a moisture content of 2% or more and 25% or less. In addition, it is preferable that the moisture content of the rod-shaped core food material 11 obtained after drying is 2% or more and 20% or less, and more preferably, the moisture content is 2% or more and 15% or less. In particular, (a) For the dermis that has been cut long and narrow, the moisture content is preferably 25% or less, more preferably 20% or less. Moreover, (b) About the dermis which became paste-like, it is preferable that the moisture content is 20% or less, and it is more preferable that it is 10% or less.

  Here, the moisture content refers to the amount of moisture measured by a heat-drying moisture meter. Specifically, when the measurement object is dried, the weight decreased due to the evaporation of the moisture, Specified as the moisture content contained in As such a heat-drying moisture meter, “Heat-drying moisture meter ML-50” manufactured by A & D Co., Ltd. can be used.

  In addition, about the dermis which became paste-form (b), it is preferable that the weight after drying is 20% or less of the weight before drying, and it is more preferable that it is 15% or less.

  Moreover, the rod-shaped core food material 11 to be obtained is not particularly limited, but the thickness (diameter in the case of a columnar shape or cylindrical shape, the maximum length in the cross section with respect to the longitudinal direction in the case of a polygonal shape), It is preferable that it is 1-4 cm.

(2) Step 20 for preparing undried meat material
In step 20, the animal meat material which will comprise the outer side with respect to the core material of the pet animal gum is prepared. In addition, the process of step S20 may be performed after step S10, may be performed previously, and may be advanced simultaneously.

Here, raw animal meat (meat in a state of containing moisture held by the animal) is minced, and undried meat material in a paste form is prepared. Although not particularly limited, the minced animal raw meat is almost granular, and the average size per grain is preferably 56.5 mm ³ or less, preferably ³ mmφ × 8 mmL or less. More preferred. Moreover, it is preferable that the raw meat of the undried animal contains 50% or more and 75% or less moisture.

  The raw meat of the animal is not particularly limited, but for example, one kind of raw meat selected from the group consisting of beef, pig, horse, deer, kangaroo, ostrich, sheep, goat, and salmon, or two kinds It may be used as a combination of the above raw meats, and chicken fillet is preferred. The means for preparing raw animal meat is not particularly limited, and may be obtained by ordinary commercial techniques.

  In addition, when the raw animal meat is minced into a paste, it is not particularly limited. For example, a color former, a pH adjuster, a flexibility-imparting agent, collagen, guar gum, an antioxidant and the like are appropriately added. Also good. For example, sodium nitrite may be used as the color former. As the pH adjuster, tripotassium phosphate may be used. Glycerin may be used as the flexibility-imparting agent. When a softening agent is added, it is preferably used at a rate of 10 to 20% with respect to the weight of raw animal meat. Although it does not specifically limit as collagen, For example, you may use what grind | pulverized animal dermis (preferably cattle dermis). When collagen is added, it is preferably used at a ratio of 0.5 to 2% with respect to the weight of raw animal meat. As an antioxidant, for example, vitamin E may be used.

(3) Step S30 in which a meat material is attached to the rod-shaped core food material to obtain a material with undried meat material.
In step 30, the meat prepared in step S20 is attached around the rod-shaped core food prepared in step S10 to obtain a material with undried meat.

  Here, the meat material is attached so as to cover and cover the surface around the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped core food material (for example, to cover the outer peripheral surface when the rod-shaped member has a cylindrical shape). Preferably, the meat material is attached so as to be pressed against the periphery of the rod-shaped core food material.

  In addition, although it does not specifically limit, you may perform the process of attaching a meat material around a rod-shaped core foodstuff using the apparatus 50 as shown in FIG. The apparatus 50 includes a meat material supply path 51, a main body 52, and a nozzle 53. The meat material supply path 51 is a tubular member connected to the side of the main body 52 and constitutes a passage when the above-described meat material 12 is conveyed toward the main body 52 side. The main body 52 is provided with an opening for inserting the rod-shaped core food material 11 on the upper side, and is connected to the meat supply path 51 on the side peripheral surface. A nozzle 53 extends downward from the lower end of the main body 52. The nozzle 53 has a tapered shape such that the circular shape of the horizontal section gradually decreases as it goes downward, and is provided so that the opening at the lower end and the opening above the main body 52 overlap in the vertical direction. ing. The inclination angle of the nozzle 53 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 15 to 45 degrees with respect to the vertically downward direction. The size of the horizontal cross section at the lower end of the nozzle 53 is designed to be slightly larger than the cross sectional shape of the rod-shaped core food material 11. Specifically, the inner diameter of the lower end of the nozzle 53 is 26.5 mm. In the state where the meat material 12 is pushed into the device 50 as shown by the thin arrows in FIG. 5, the rod-shaped core food material 11 is sent from above to below as shown by the thick arrows in FIG. In the vicinity of the tip of the nozzle 53 below, the meat material 12 is pressed against and adheres to the outer surface of the rod-shaped core food material 11. That is, the meat material 12 is configured such that the area of the horizontal cross section gradually decreases from the main body 52 portion toward the lower end of the nozzle 53, and thus the meat material 12 with respect to the outer surface of the rod-shaped core food material 11. Can be pressed sufficiently. Here, the total weight of the rod-shaped core food material 11 and the meat material 12 passing through the lower end of the nozzle 53 per hour during production is preferably 100 kg / h or more and 200 kg / h or less, and 120 kg / h or more and 132 kg / h. More preferably, it is h or less.

  Such an apparatus 50 is not particularly limited, but, for example, a Martian (registered trademark) CN 500 of Leon Automatic Co., Ltd. can be used.

(4) Step S40 for drying the material with undried meat
In step S40, the material with undried meat obtained in step S30 is dried.

  In this process, since the inner rod-shaped core food material among the materials with undried meat material has been dried in step S10 in advance, the outer meat material is dried here. For this reason, the inner rod-shaped core food material does not shrink so much, the outer meat material contracts greatly, and the meat material is firmly fixed in a state of being sufficiently pressed against the rod-shaped core food material.

  Specifically, the material with undried meat obtained by integrating in step S30 is dried for 3 to 5 hours in a dryer having a temperature of 62 ° C. and a humidity of 10% to 50%, for example. Let

  After passing through this drying step, the meat material is firmly attached to the rod-shaped core food material and is in an integrated state. In this step S40, the meat material and the meat material are dried until the weight of the undried meat material, which is the total weight of the moisture retained from the raw meat state, is reduced by 30% or more and 60% or less. Preferably, it is more preferable to dry until it decreases by 40% or more and 55% or less.

(5) Step S50 for cutting at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction
In step S50, the material obtained in step S40 is cut at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction to obtain a pet animal gum adjusted to a predetermined length as shown in FIG.

(6) Characteristic In the manufacturing method of the pet animal gum of the said embodiment, the gum for pet animals by which the outer side was comprised with the meat material can be obtained. For this reason, the pet animal to which the gum for pet animals is given can directly see the meat material from the outside, and the appetite of the pet animal is enhanced, thereby obtaining an effect of improving biting.

  And because the inside of the meat is provided with a rod-shaped core food that has dried and hardened the skin of an animal such as a cow, the teeth of the pet that have bitten on the pet animal's gum penetrate the outer meat. It reaches the inner rod-shaped core food material and is rubbed against the inner rod-shaped core food material. Since this inner rod-shaped core food is constituted by the skin of an animal such as a cow, it can remove the dirt on the teeth when rubbing against the teeth, thereby obtaining a brushing effect.

  Moreover, since the pet animal gum is manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, the rod-shaped core food material and the meat material can be firmly integrated, so that the pet animal starts chewing. In addition, the rod-shaped core food material and the meat material are completely eaten while being kept in an integrated state without being separated.

  Specifically, since the rod-shaped core food material is dried and hardened in advance before the undried meat material is attached to the surroundings, in the dry integration process, mainly the meat with the undried meat material is meat. The material part is dried. For this reason, the meat material can be contracted to a greater extent than the rod-shaped core food material, and the meat material that contracts greatly covers the circumference of the rod-shaped core food material, so when it shrinks after drying, The meat shrinks to narrow down the rod-shaped core ingredients. As a result, the meat material is sufficiently adhered and cured to be integrated with the rod-shaped core food material, and the meat material is hardly peeled off from the rod-shaped core food material.

  Therefore, even when the pet animal bites or chews the pet animal gum, it is necessary to prevent the meat material and the rod-shaped core food material from separating as much as possible until the pet animal gum is completely consumed. it can. As a result, while the pet animal is eating the pet animal gum, the meat material and the rod-shaped core food material remain integrated while maintaining the state in which the appetite is increased by keeping the meat material visible. The chewing gum for chewing can be continuously chewed, and a tooth brushing effect can be continuously obtained until complete eating.

(7-1) Other embodiment A
In the said embodiment, the case where the rod-shaped core foodstuff 11 was cylindrical shape in FIG. 4 was mentioned as an example, and was demonstrated. On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a cylindrical rod-shaped core food material configured to be hollow inside may be used.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the case where the gum for pet animals finally obtained in FIG. 6 was a rod shape long in the axial direction was mentioned as an example, and was demonstrated. On the other hand, for example, a disc-shaped gum for a pet animal may be obtained by making the interval when cutting at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction shorter than the thickness.

(7-2) Other embodiment B
In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, an example of manufacturing a pet animal gum in which a meat material 12 is attached in a cylindrical shape to the outer side in the radial direction of a cylindrical rod-shaped core food material 11 and cured. I gave it as an explanation.

  On the other hand, for example, as shown in the schematic external view of FIG. 8 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 9, for a pet animal in which a meat material 212 is attached to a rod-shaped core food material 211 formed in a plate shape and cured. You may apply this invention when manufacturing gum. Although not particularly limited, in the example shown in FIG. 8, knots are formed on one end side and the other end side in the longitudinal direction.

  The plate-shaped core food material 211 formed into a plate shape is not particularly limited, but may be prepared by, for example, cutting and drying the animal dermis portion shown in FIG. In this case, it is not necessary to cut the animal skin and add moisture to form a paste, and then form the rod. Even in this case, when the dermis part of the animal is taken out, the water held by the animal remains in the dermis part. A process of sufficiently drying the core food material 211 is performed.

(7-3) Other embodiment C
In the other embodiment B, an example in which the inner plate-like rod-shaped core food material 211 and the outer meat material 212 are configured to have a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape when viewed in the longitudinal direction is similar. And explained.

  However, the inner and outer shapes are not limited to similar shapes. For example, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 10, the gum for a companion animal may be combined so that the cross-section of the inner rod-shaped core food material 311 is rectangular and the cross-section of the outer meat material 312 is a circle. Good. Even in this case, similarly, the stick-shaped core food material 311 is sufficiently dried before the meat material 312 is attached.

  The method for producing a pet animal gum of the present invention is particularly useful in providing a pet animal gum capable of enhancing the brushing effect of the pet animal.
