Description

Method of manufacturing snacks for companion animals using vegetables, tofu and meat {PET SNACK MANUFACTURING METHOD}

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a snack for companion animals using vegetables, tofu and meat.

As the breeding of companion animals increases, various companion animal feeds and snacks have been developed and marketed accordingly.

Companion animal food and snacks are those that can provide the necessary nutrition to companion animals, and are generally sold widely as those containing various essential nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, inorganic salts and vitamins appropriately. In addition to feed, snacks for pets are provided in various forms, among which many snacks are provided by processing meat, and snacks manufactured by adding ingredients with various functions are provided.

Snacks for companion animals are not only convenient and hygienic, but they can also provide necessary nutrition to companion animals, and are generally sold widely as those that are properly composed of various essential nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates.

However, as companion animals are kept indoors such as apartments, the number of companion animals suffering from obesity and constipation due to lack of exercise and overnutrition is increasing.

Obesity is a major problem in the life and longevity of dogs. In a study on the lifespan of large breeds, dogs with an ideal body condition score (BCS) of 4/9-5/9 usually lived 1.8 years longer than dogs with a slightly overweight 6/9-7/9. Also, slender dogs have a later onset of chronic disease compared to dogs classified as obese. Some owners feel guilty about restricting food to their dogs, which shows that when pets are overweight, their quality of life decreases and, in contrast, factors such as vitality, emotional disturbance, and pain after successful weight loss. It is known that the quality of life improves by disappearing.

As shown, in the method for preparing a snack for companion animals using tofu and meat according to an embodiment of the present invention, tofu salt removal step (S10), tofu grinding step (S20), meat disinfection step (S30), meat aging step (S40), a meat grinding step (S50), a material mixing step (S60), a forming step (S70), a meat cutting step (S80), a meat cube combining step (S90) and a drying step (S100).

The process of removing the salt by putting the tofu in water for 2 hours in the tofu desalting step (S10) is repeated 5 to 6 times. Tofu is not only easy to digest and absorb, but also contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for maintaining the health of companion animals, including minerals such as calcium, manganese, selenium, phosphorus, copper, and magnesium along with vegetable protein. Tofu has a soft texture with low calories and is easily digested, and is recommended as a diet food for obese dogs. However, tofu contains salt by adding bittern water during manufacturing, so if you consume more than an appropriate amount of salt, you may suffer from various diseases. In particular, if the heart disease or kidney is weak, salt intake is required, so the process of removing salt from the tofu is necessary as in step S10.

In the tofu grinding step (S20), the tofu from which the salt has been removed in S10 is crushed.

In the meat disinfection step (S30), put meat in vinegar water for 20 minutes to disinfect and then wash with water. You can choose meat from cattle, pigs, ducks, chickens, turkeys, sheep, kangaroos and horses. Vinegar solution is 25 mL of vinegar per 2 liters of water.

In the meat aging step (S40), the lotus leaf powder is mixed with the meat sterilized in the step S30 and then aged at a low temperature. After mixing 1.0g to 2.0g of lotus leaf powder per 1kg of meat, it is preferable to ripen at a low temperature of 0°C to 5°C for 24 hours to 48 hours.

The lotus leaf powder is absorbed into the meat during the low-temperature aging process of 24 to 48 hours and fully exhibits its efficacy, and it is possible to prevent deterioration of the preference of companion animals due to the unique flavor of the lotus leaf powder.

In the meat grinding step (S50), the meat aged in the step S40 is pulverized or minced and pulverized using a grinder.

In the material mixing step (S60), the tofu pulverized in step S20 and the meat and vegetable powder pulverized in step S40 are mixed. Vegetable powder adds color to the finished tofu chips along with nutrition supply. When spinach powder is mixed, tofu chips become green, when pumpkin powder is mixed, it becomes yellow, when beet powder is mixed, it becomes purple, and when carrot powder is mixed, it becomes orange. The type of vegetable is not limited to the spinach, pumpkin, carrot or beet.

In the forming step (S70), the result mixed in step S60 is put into a shape frame to make a shape.

In the meat cutting step (S80), the meat aged in the step S40 is cut into a 5 mm cube shape.

In the meat combining step (S90), the meat cube cut in the step S80 is put into the tofu plate molded in the step S70.

In the drying step (S80), the resultant molded in step S70 is put in a dryer and dried to a moisture content of 15% or less.

By performing the steps S10 to S100, tofu chips including meat and vegetables are completed.

In step S40, lotus leaf powder is added to ripen meat, and meat containing lotus leaf powder is mixed with tofu to make a tofu plate, and then a meat cube is put into the tofu plate, and dried tofu chip type snack for companion animals is lotus leaf. effect on companion animals. According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a snack for companion animals that includes lotus leaf powder and has increased the preference of companion animals due to meat chips.

The lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a dicotyledonous plant belonging to a cotyledon among aquatic plants and is native to southern Asia and northern Australia. It is mainly grown in ponds and sometimes cultivated in paddy fields. It is widely distributed in tropical and temperate eastern Asia, mainly in India and China, as well as Korea, China, and Japan, and has been generally regarded as a sacred plant in Buddhism. Flowers have been used for ornamental purposes and tea, and leaves and roots have been used as food. Dried lotus leaves are bitter in taste and soft in nature, and since ancient times, they have been used as folk remedies for hemorrhagic gastric ulcers, gastritis, hemorrhoids, bleeding, diarrhea, headaches and dizziness, hematemesis, postpartum eohyeol treatment, enuresis, and detoxification.

In order to verify the effect of lotus leaf extract on lipid metabolism, the results of examining changes in serum and liver tissue lipid content by feeding lotus leaf extract to high-fat diet rats are as follows.

The lotus leaf extract administration group was subdivided into a group administered with 40 mg of solids relative to body weight (kg) (HL40), a group administered with 80 mg (HL80), and a group administered with 120 mg (HL120).

cont indicates the general dietary intake group, HFG indicates the high-fat diet intake group, and HL40, HL80, and HL120 are classified according to the dose of lotus leaf extract among the high-fat diet intake group. HL40, 80, and 120 showed a higher weight gain than the Cont group because they were on a high-fat diet. Also, as a result of measuring the total lipid content in the liver, the HL120 group showed lower lipid production than the HFG group, and the total cholesterol content was the same in the Cont group and the HL120 group as the lowest. It was judged to be effective in lowering the total cholesterol level when the lotus leaf extract is fed over a certain level. In the case of triglycerides, all groups fed with lotus leaf extract showed lower values than HFG group as well as Cont group. In particular, in the HL120 group, the number was reduced by about half compared to the HFG group.

That is, even if meat is fed with lotus leaf extract intake, it is possible to reduce the weight gain rate, reduce the total cholesterol level, and reduce the amount of lipid production in the liver.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a companion animal snack capable of reducing blood cholesterol and lipid production while increasing the companion animal's preference by including meat and vegetables in the companion animal snack.
