Description

[0001] CAT FEED CONTAINING NANO MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE [0002]

The present invention relates to the field of fodders, in particular to cat food containing nano-microcrystalline cellulose.

As an omnivorous animal, cats can accept all types of food. Common cats feed mainly spinach, meat or some amino acid ingredients. However, common cat food can sometimes cause anorexia in cats, and can even cause serious dyspepsia and other diseases in cats.

In addition, when feeding cats, people mix cat food with water to make them too soft, or the cat food is evenly dissolved in water, preventing the cat from eating solid food. It will also cause anorexia in cats.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a feed that is better able to maintain moisture in the feed, better maintain the shape of the feed when the feed is soaked in water, and improve solubility to promote the appetite of the companion animal.

According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the production of flour comprising 10-25 parts by weight of wheat flour, 5-15 parts of corn powder, 4-8 parts of gelatin, 5-15 parts of glycerol, 1-3 parts of oat powder, 2-4 parts of spinach, 2- 5 parts sesame seeds, 1-3 parts beef, 1-2 parts sodium chloride, 0.05-0.1 part nano-microcrystalline cellulose and 20 parts water,

The flour, corn powder, gelatin, glycerol, oat powder, spinach, sesame, beef and sodium chloride are evenly mixed to form a solid mixture;

Water is added to the solid mixture, stirred evenly, held for 3-5 hours to form a slurry mixture;

Adding nano-microcrystalline cellulose to the slurry mixture, stirring evenly, and making the mixture into the desired shape;

Cat food is provided which is prepared by drying the mixture at 50-70 DEG C for 2-3 hours to form cat food.

The cat food provided by the present invention is capable of trapping moisture in food and maintaining the shape of the food, thereby assuring a larger appetite of the companion animal. In addition, the cat food provided by the present invention helps to reduce the disease by promoting digestion of the cat.

According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the production of flour comprising 10-25 parts by weight of wheat flour, 5-15 parts of corn powder, 4-8 parts of gelatin, 5-15 parts of glycerol, 1-3 parts of oat powder, 2-4 parts of spinach, 2- 5 liters of sesame, 1-3 parts of beef, 1-2 parts of sodium chloride, 0.05-0.1 parts of nano-microcrystalline cellulose and 20 parts of water.

Of the above-mentioned raw materials, nano-microcrystalline cellulose is an example of microcrystalline cellulose, and its particle size range is 50-1,000 nm. Nano-microcrystalline cellulose belongs to non-nutrients which are not digested by the human body and can not supply energy to the human body. Therefore, the nano-microcrystalline cellulose added in the present invention is not intended to provide nutrition to the human body.

However, nano-microcrystalline cellulose has the function of perfecting the microenvironmental balance in the intestines. Since the particle size of the nanocrystalline cellulose is small, its specific surface area is large, and the hydrophilicity is stronger than that of conventional microcrystalline cellulose, so that the moisture can be trapped more easily. In addition, after combining the nanocrystalline cellulose with water and the above-mentioned mixture, a stable three-dimensional net-like crosslinked structure is formed in the drying process to increase the viscosity and to improve the shape stability of the cat food formed by functioning as a skeleton have.

For example, cat food can be produced in fish, balls, or other shapes to enhance the cat's eating or play needs.

In addition, nano-microcrystalline cellulose can not be digested by the human body, but its particle size is small and will not affect the taste of the feed due to the addition of nanocrystalline cellulose. On the contrary, it makes the feed more compact and tastes better, and the companion animal likes the feed more.

Generally, the particle size of the nano-microcrystalline cellulose is preferably 100-300 nm. The nano-microcrystalline cellulose having the above particle size became a trade-off between price and taste after several experiments.

Cat food can be prepared in the following manner.

First, wheat flour, corn flour, gelatin, glycerol, oat flour, spinach, sesame, beef and sodium chloride are evenly mixed according to certain ratios to form a solid mixture.

Water is then added to the solid mixture, the mixture is stirred evenly, and the mixture is left for 3-5 hours to form a slurry mixture. It should be understood that a layer may be formed if the mixture is left too long. In such a case, the liquid portion in the upper layer may be discarded directly.

Nano-microcrystalline cellulose is added to the slurry mixture, and the mixture is evenly stirred and made into a predetermined shape. In general, the shape may be a ball, strip or any other shape that the cat likes. By adding nanocrystalline cellulose, the shape can be better retained.

Finally, the mixture is dried at 50-70 ° C for 2-3 hours to form cat food. It should be understood that an excessively high temperature can destroy the nutrients in the feed and easily break down the combination of nanocrystalline cellulose and other feed ingredients. Extremely low temperatures do not contribute to the evaporation of water, requiring a longer time.

In the present invention, 50 cats of about 1 year old are selected as test subjects, and 18 cats are selected to eat only cat food that does not contain nano-microcrystalline cellulose. Eighteen cats were divided into three control groups, each control group containing six cats, three control groups being the first control group, the second control group and the third control group, respectively,

The first control cats feed consisted of 25 flour, 5 corn flour, 8 gelatine, 5 glycerol, 3 oat powder, 2 spinach, 5 sesame seeds, 1 beef, 2 parts sodium chloride and 20 parts water .

The second control cats diet consisted of 13 flour, 10 corn flour, 7 gelatine, 12 glycerol, 2 oat powder, 3 spinach, 3 sesame seeds, 2 beef, 1 part sodium chloride and 20 parts water .

The third control cats diet consisted of 15 parts flour, 12 parts corn powder, 7 parts gelatin, 7 parts glycerol, 1 part oat powder, 2 parts spinach, 2 parts sesame, 1 part beef, 2 parts sodium chloride and 20 parts water .

The remaining 32 cats were divided into 8 experimental groups (or referred to as embodiment groups), each group containing 4 cats, each group being divided into groups as described in Embodiments 1 to 8 above Eat cat food each.

After 1, 2, and 3 months of feeding, the cats are observed for weight, color and behavior. Table 1 below is a comparison table after feeding for 1 month, and Table 2 is a comparison table after feeding for 2 months, and Table 3 is a comparison table after feeding for 3 months.

It can be seen from Tables 1 to 3 that there was no significant change in the color and behavior of cats in the control group 1-3, except for the normal weight gain due to growth. In several embodiments of the invention, the color of the cat begins to brighten after two months, and in some embodiments the weight of the cat has been greatly increased and the behavior has become more active, indicating that the cat's stamina is more abundant . More specifically, after feeding cat food in the embodiment of the present invention for 3 months, the weight of cats in some groups was significantly increased, and the cats in Practical Examples 6-8 were brighter in color, The cats in Tae - tae group became more active because of their abundant physical strength.

The changes observed in the above embodiments include subjective factors such as whether the color of the pale color is bright or not, and whether the behavior is active compared with the existing cat food, but the cat food provided by the present invention Provide nutrients, and have particular advantages in supplementing the physical strength.
