Description

Pet Nourishing Food with Elasticity {Pet Nourishing Food with Elasticity}

The present invention relates to a nutritious snack for companion animals with elasticity, and more particularly, to a nutritious snack for companion animals with elasticity including chicken breast, wheat flour, nutrients, colorants, and thickeners containing sodium metaphosphate and yucca extract. About.

Recently, the number of companion animals, in particular, the number of cats is increasing rapidly, and the industry related to cats is also continuing to grow rapidly. In the early stages of the industry related to cats, food scraps were mainly fed to cats, but commercial pet foods were recently developed, and most cats and dogs are generally fed commercial feed.

Most of the commercial feed is produced by extrusion molding at high temperature and high pressure called the extrusion method. In the extrusion method, since it is impossible to make the ratio of meat more than 50% when mixing and producing raw materials, the remaining 50% must be filled with vegetable raw materials with high starch quality.

This limitation on the formulation of feed to be manufactured is a disadvantage that it does not sufficiently reflect the fact that cats and dogs are inherently mammals and carnivores, and thus are not suitable for producing optimal feed for feeding these cats and dogs. .

In addition, when a high-temperature and high-pressure manufacturing process is used, nutrients that are sensitive to temperature, such as vitamins and minerals, which are trace raw materials, are easily destroyed during the manufacturing process. Therefore, the need for snacks that are fed as snacks to pets feeding these commercial feeds has emerged.

Most of these nutritional supplement snacks currently sold in Korea are made in China, where important information such as the manufacturing method, mixing ratio, and essential nutrients are hidden, or products using cheap flour, starch and animal by-products as raw materials, even if they are manufactured in Korea. There are many, and there is a need to develop a snack that has an optimal formulation for feeding half cats and dogs.

On the other hand, when breeding cats or dogs in the house, it is often observed that most cats and dogs bite the wires of the house. If a cat bites an electric wire, etc., there is a problem that the electronic product will break down, as well as the risk of electric shock to the cat.

If you provide your cat or dog with a snack that has a texture similar to that of a wire, you can solve the above problem. Looking at the related patent literature, KR Patent Application No. 10-2017-0144277 (name of the invention: nutrient snack for improving the intestinal environment of companion animals and a method for manufacturing the same) shows that lactic acid bacteria are cultivated by culturing lactic acid bacteria in a medium containing agaric grass. A culture step of preparing water; And a pretreatment step of heating and sterilizing meat and fish; And a first mixing step of preparing a first mixture by mixing the lactic acid bacteria culture and the pretreated meat and fish; And In the first mixture A second mixing step of preparing a second mixture by mixing any one of protein, pectin, minerals, vitamins, and sub-additives consisting of a combination thereof, and a method for preparing a nutrient snack for improving the intestinal environment of a companion animal, comprising: It is starting.

However, even when a companion animal snack is prepared by the method of the above-described patent document, there is a problem that the texture like electric wire does not appear.

Throughout this specification, a number of papers and patent documents are referenced and citations are indicated. The disclosure contents of the cited papers and patent documents are incorporated by reference in this specification as a whole, and the level of the technical field to which the present invention belongs and the contents of the present invention are more clearly described.

The inventors of the present invention have made intensive research efforts to develop a snack with a wire texture preferred by companion animals, in particular, cats or dogs. As a result, chicken breast, wheat flour, nutrients, colorants, sodium metaphosphate and thickener containing yucca extract are pulverized and stirred, and then heated, wire shape molding, and drying steps are preferred by cats and dogs. The present invention was completed by discovering that it is possible to manufacture snacks having elasticity of wire texture, as well as to significantly reduce the amount of feces and fecal odor of half cats or dogs.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a nutritious snack for companion animals with elasticity.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a nutritional snack for companion animals having elasticity.

The term “gluten hydrolyzate” as used herein may mean a product produced by decomposing a gluten molecule into two or more molecules or ions by the intervention of water.

The term “hydrolyzed poultry” as used herein may mean a product produced by decomposing poultry lean meat such as ducks and chickens into two or more protein molecules or amino acids by the intervention of water.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickener of the present invention may preferably contain 10-20 parts by weight of sodium metaphosphate based on 100 parts by weight of the yucca extract and 100 parts by weight of the yucca extract.

The use of sodium metaphosphate in the present invention is a very important configuration. This is because, when sodium metaphosphate is used, the elasticity of the nutrient snack can be remarkably increased by increasing the binding properties of the meat included in the nutrient snack.

It is very important to use the Yucca extract in the present invention. Because, as a result of a number of experiments, when using yucca extract, it is possible to significantly increase the binding power between the protein hydrolyzed by the yeast powder and the hydrolyzed poultry, and reduce the amount of feces in companion animals compared to the case otherwise. Of course, it is because we discovered that it can reduce fecal odor in companion animals.

When Yucca extract is added to food, the shape of the food is enriched and the stickiness of the foam is strengthened.

This is because yucca extract strengthens the binding properties of foam-forming proteins such as gluten, and when yucca extract is added, even in the case of nutritional snacks for companion animals, the yucca extract has the binding power of proteins decomposed by yeast powder and amino acids and hydrolyzed poultry. Is estimated to increase.

If the content of sodium metaphosphate is less than 10 parts by weight, there is a problem that the binding properties of the meat included may be weakened, and if the content of sodium metaphosphate is more than 20 parts by weight, there is a problem that may impair the flavor of a nutritious snack. have.

In the present invention, it is very important that the thickener further includes xanthan gum. This is because, if xanthan gum is added to the thickener, it is possible to vaporize the elasticity of nutrient snacks for companion animals, as well as to create the texture of nutrient snacks like rubber coated on an actual wire.

In the present invention, it is very important that the thickener further includes a gluten hydrolyzate. This is because when the gluten hydrolyzate is additionally included, it is possible to increase the binding properties of wheat flour included in the nutrient snack as well as increase the binding properties of meat, protein, amino acids and wheat flour.

The term “extract” used while referring to the yucca extract in the present specification refers to a processed product formulated (eg, powdered) so that the yucca root itself can be ingested as well as the extraction result obtained by treating the above-mentioned yucca root extraction solvent. It has a meaning to include also.
