Description

Nutritional supplement for companion animals and their manufacturing method {NUTRIENT FOR PET AND THE MANUFACTURE METHOD}

The present disclosure relates to a gel-type nutritional supplement for companion animals with improved palatability and a method for manufacturing the same.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the material described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application, and inclusion in this section is not an admission that it is prior art.

Recently, with the aging population and the increase in single-person households, the number of households raising companion animals such as dogs and cats in general households is rapidly increasing. However, despite the rapid increase in the number of companion animal households, in Korea, nutritional supplements for companion animals have not been largely industrialized, and most nutritional supplements are imported.

Companion animal nutrition can be largely divided into oral nutrition, water-soluble nutrition, and injectable nutrition depending on the method of administration to animals. Oral nutrition can be divided into dry type such as powder and tablet, and gel type. In the case of the dry type, it is mainly mixed with snacks or feed and provided to animals, but due to the low palatability, pets often refuse to eat or spit it out.

As a method for improving this problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a gelation technique by mixing agar or gelatin with water so that it can be fed to companion animals more conveniently.

However, since the target of nutrient administration is livestock such as chickens, it is somewhat insufficient to provide nutritionally to companion animals such as dogs and cats, and has a jelly-like shape due to high viscosity, making it inconvenient to administer to companion animals.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0031512 (2018.03.28)

An object of the present invention is to provide a nutritional supplement for companion animals that is easy to administer to companion animals and has improved nutrition and palatability, and a method for manufacturing the same.

In addition, it is not limited to the technical problems as described above, and it is obvious that another technical problem may be derived from the following description.

According to one embodiment of the disclosure, the nutritional supplement for companion animals is vitamin A palmitate 0.1 to 10% by weight, vitamin D3 0.1 to 10% by weight, tocopherol acetate 0.1 to 10% by weight, riboflavin 50 to 70% by weight, and minerals 10 to 30 to 80% by weight of a first component and purified water containing 30% by weight, 5 to 15% by weight of a thickener, 0.1 to 10% by weight of hydrolyzed chicken, 0.1 to 10% by weight of charcoal-grilled flavoring, 0.1 to 10% by weight of lecithin, and glycerin Consists of a second component containing 5 to 40% by weight, and the thickener includes at least one selected from xanthan gum and cellulose derivatives.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for preparing a nutritional supplement for companion animals includes 0.1 to 10% by weight of vitamin A palmitate, 0.1 to 10% by weight of vitamin D3, 0.1 to 10% by weight of tocopherol acetate, 50 to riboflavin as a first component. Putting 70% by weight and 10-30% by weight of minerals in a mixer, mixing for 20-40 minutes at a temperature of 20-30℃ to prepare a first mixture, 30-80% by weight of purified water as a second component, thickener 5 to 15% by weight, 0.1 to 10% by weight of hydrolyzed chicken, 0.1 to 10% by weight of charcoal-grilled flavoring, 0.1 to 10% by weight of lecithin, and 5 to 40% by weight of glycerin are put into a homogenizer, and at a temperature of 20 to 50℃ preparing a second mixture by mixing at 100 to 300 rpm for 5 to 10 hours, adding the first mixture to the prepared second mixture, and stirring at a temperature of 20 to 30° C. for 1 to 3 hours; and and filling the stirred mixture into a container.

According to the nutritional supplement for companion animals according to an embodiment of the present disclosure and a method for manufacturing the same, the effect that can contribute to the health promotion of companion animals by minimizing the occurrence of side effects such as obesity and hyperlipidemia by replacing the fat used in the past with a plant-derived thickener there is

In addition, by including a second component such as hydrolyzed chicken and charcoal-grilled flavor in addition to the first component such as vitamins and minerals, there is an effect of improving palatability and functionality and at the same time helping the metabolism in the body.

In addition, since the viscosity of the nutritional supplement for companion animals is in the range of 10,000 to 45,000 cPs, it is easy and convenient to administer to companion animals.

1 is a process diagram for explaining a method of manufacturing a nutritional supplement for companion animals according to an embodiment of the disclosure in the present specification.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the configuration and operation effects of preferred embodiments of the disclosed subject matter will be described. For reference, in the following drawings, each component is omitted or schematically illustrated for convenience and clarity, and the size of each component does not reflect the actual size. In addition, the same reference numerals refer to the same components throughout the specification, and reference numerals for the same components in individual drawings will be omitted.

The nutritional supplement for companion animals disclosed in the present specification is a gel type, floating or squeezing with an appliance, and applying or attaching the nutritional supplement supported in the appliance to the mouth of the companion animal so that the nutritional ingredient is naturally dissolved and absorbed.

Nutritional agents for companion animals according to this embodiment are vitamin A palmitate 0.1 to 10% by weight, vitamin D3 0.1 to 10% by weight, tocopherol acetate 0.1 to 10% by weight, riboflavin (riboflavin, Vitamin B2) 50-70% by weight and mineral (minera) 10-30% by weight of the first ingredient and purified water 30-80% by weight, thickener 5-15% by weight, hydrolyzed chicken 0.1-10% by weight , consisting of a second component comprising 0.1 to 10% by weight of charcoal-grilled flavor, 0.1 to 10% by weight of lecithin, and 5 to 40% by weight of glycerin. The viscosity of these nutritional supplements for companion animals may be 10,000 to 45,000 cPs, preferably 15,000 to 40,000 cPs, and most preferably 30,000 to 35,000 cPs.

If the viscosity is less than 10,000 cPs, the final product, the nutrient, may flow down and be very inconvenient to administer to companion animals such as dogs or cats. It is undesirable because it is impossible to use or squeeze the container.

The first component is composed of a substance having a nutritional supply function, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D3, tocopherol acetate, riboflavin (Vitamin B2), and minerals ( minera) may be included.

Vitamin A palmitate, also called retinyl palmitate, is a compound of retinol, palmic acid, and palmitic acid. may be involved in inhibition of development. Such vitamin A palmitate may be included in 0.1 to 10% by weight, which is that when vitamin A palmitate is less than 0.1% by weight, the protective ability against active oxygen is low, and when it exceeds 10% by weight, it is difficult to form bones or teeth. Defects or growth disorders may occur.

The vitamin D3 (vitamin D3) is a substance that promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphate with the help of bile acids, and promotes the synthesis of calcium protein to help form the skeleton of the animal. This vitamin D3 may be included in 0.1 to 10% by weight, which is vitamin D3 is less than 0.1% by weight, the above-mentioned metabolism may be insufficient to increase the risk of osteoporosis, and if it exceeds 10% by weight, calcium in the blood It is undesirable because it can cause urolithiasis and hypercalcemia by rapidly raising the level.

The tocopherol acetate (tocopherol acetate) is an antioxidant that contributes to the primary defense against lipid peroxidation components, and may serve to protect cells from damage due to oxidation. This tocopherol acetate is included in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, which if the tocopherol acetate is less than 0.1% by weight, it is difficult to protect cells from damage due to oxidation, and when it exceeds 10% by weight, the risk of lung cancer may increase.

The riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is a substance that acts on metabolism, and may be involved in promoting the growth of companion animals and producing energy such as carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Riboflavin accounts for the largest content among the first components at 50 to 70% by weight, which has an important effect on absorption and digestion of vitamins and minerals, and plays an essential function in numerous physical activities, but due to the nature of water-soluble vitamins, animals It is not stored in the body, so it is better to supply it in sufficient amount.

The minerals are substances involved in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and are included in 10 to 30% by weight, which is that if the mineral is less than 10% by weight, it is difficult for the three major nutrients to be absorbed into the body of the animal, 30 If it exceeds the weight %, the effect of increasing the content more than necessary may not be so great. These minerals include at least one selected from calcium (Ca), iodine (I), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn), preferably 5 to 10% by weight of calcium, 15 to 25% by weight of iodine %, 10 to 20% by weight of magnesium, 15 to 25% by weight of iron, and 30 to 40% by weight of manganese.

The second component is composed of a material that can improve the properties and palatability of the nutrient, and may include purified water, a thickener, hydrolyzed chicken, charcoal-grilled flavor, lecithin, and glycerin.

The purified water is a material that allows the substances to be described later to be uniformly dissolved, and is included in 30 to 80% by weight, which is less than 30% by weight of purified water, it may be difficult for substances to be uniformly dissolved in purified water, 80% by weight %, it is necessary to increase the content of the thickener in order to finally realize the desired viscosity, there is a problem in that more than necessary cost is generated.

The thickener is a material added to adjust the viscosity of the nutrient, and at least one selected from xanthan gum and cellulose derivatives may be used, and preferably mixed in a weight ratio of 1-3:1. The above-mentioned mixing ratio of xanthan gum and cellulose is a ratio that can achieve optimum viscosity. These thickeners may be included in an amount of 5 to 15% by weight, which is that if the thickener is less than 5% by weight, the nutrient may flow when administered to an animal and it may be difficult to administer a quantity, and if it exceeds 15% by weight, the viscosity is too high It may be difficult to use by squeezing or squeezing the nutrients filled in the container.

Meanwhile, the thickener is carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol. At least one selected from (polypropylene glycol), preferably carboxymethyl cellulose (carboxymethyl cellulose), and at least one selected from hydroxyethyl cellulose (hydroxyethyl cellulose) may be further included. Since these additional thickeners may cause indigestion, especially when administered to cats, it is preferable to include a small amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, based on the total content of xanthan gum and cellulose derivatives.

In this embodiment, it is possible to contribute to the health promotion of companion animals by minimizing the occurrence of side effects such as obesity and hyperlipidemia by replacing the lipids generally applied to the existing gel-type nutritional supplements with a plant-derived thickener.

The hydrolyzed chicken and the charcoal-grilled flavor are substances added to improve animal preference, and may be included in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, respectively.

In particular, the hydrolyzed chicken may be a material hydrolyzed by at least one proteolytic enzyme selected from alkalase and flavourzyme in order to increase digestion and absorption of animals.

The lecithin (lecithin) is a material that acts as an emulsifier, and may be included in 0.1 to 10% by weight. If it is less than 0.1% by weight, it is difficult for the substances to be homogeneously dissolved in purified water, and if it exceeds 10% by weight, the content is more than necessary The net profit from the increase may not be very large.

The glycerin (glycerin) is a material added for preservation of nutrients, and may be included in 5 to 40% by weight, which is less than 5% by weight, may not have much effect on the preservation of nutrients, and exceeds 40% by weight This may affect the final viscosity of the nutrient.

Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the nutritional supplement for companion animals disclosed in the present specification will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a process diagram for explaining a method of manufacturing a nutritional supplement for companion animals according to an embodiment of the disclosure in the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 1 , first, the first component is put into a mixer, and the mixture is mixed at a temperature of 20 to 30° C. for 20 to 40 minutes to prepare a first mixture (S10).

As a first component, 0.1 to 10% by weight of vitamin A palmitate, 0.1 to 10% by weight of vitamin D3, 0.1 to 10% by weight of tocopherol acetate, 50 to 70% by weight of riboflavin, and 10 to 30% by weight of minerals in a mixer, preferably V - Put in a mixer, and mix for 20 to 40 minutes at a temperature of 20 ~ 30 ℃ can prepare a first mixture. Specifically, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D3, and riboflavin are first stirred for 10 to 20 minutes, and then tocopherol acetate and at least one mineral selected from calcium, iodine, magnesium, iron, and manganese are added for 10 to 20 minutes. It can be stirred for minutes.

In this case, when a material having a small volume compared to the weight ratio, such as vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D3, and riboflavin, is first stirred, and then the remaining materials are added and stirred, the final product, the first mixture, may be more homogeneously mixed.

Then, the second component is put into a homogenizer, and mixed at a temperature of 20 to 50° C. at 100 to 300 rpm for 5 to 10 hours to prepare a second mixture (S20).

As a second component, purified water 30-80% by weight, thickener 5-15% by weight, hydrolyzed chicken 0.1-10% by weight, charcoal-grilled flavoring 0.1-10% by weight, lecithin 0.1-10% by weight, and glycerin 5-40% by weight A second mixture can be prepared by putting it in a homogenizer and mixing at a temperature of 20-50° C. at 100-300 rpm for 5-10 hours. Specifically, purified water is improved, and a thickener, hydrolyzed chicken, charcoal-grilled flavor, lecithin, and glycerin are added to the purified water to achieve 100 at a temperature of 20-50°C, preferably 20-30°C, most preferably 25°C. It can be stirred at ~300rpm, preferably 200rpm so that the above-mentioned substances can be completely dissolved in purified water for 5 to 10 hours.

If the temperature is less than 20 ℃, the viscosity of the second mixture increases rapidly and it may be difficult to mix evenly, and if it exceeds 50 ℃, it is not preferable because it may adversely affect the components or physical properties of the materials.

If the time is less than 5 hours, it may be difficult for the constituents of the second component to be sufficiently dissolved in purified water.

The thickener may be a plant-derived thickener in which xanthan gum and a cellulose derivative are mixed in a weight ratio of 1 to 3:1, and carboxymethylrelulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and At least one selected from polypropylene glycol, preferably at least one selected from carboxymethylrelulose, and hydroxyethyl cellulose, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight based on the total content of xanthan gum and cellulose derivative, preferably It may further include 0.1 to 5 parts by weight. Since the reason for the limitation of the content has been described in detail above, it will be omitted. When additional substances as described above are added, the stirring time in the homogenizer may be further increased by about 10 minutes to 1 hour.

Then, the first mixture is added to the prepared second mixture and stirred at a temperature of 20 to 30° C. for 1 to 3 hours (S30).

The first mixture prepared in step S10 is added to the second mixture prepared in step S20, and the mixture is stirred at a temperature of 20 to 30° C. for 1 to 3 hours so that the first mixture and the second mixture are uniformly mixed. can be obtained. At this time, the first mixture and the second mixture may be mixed in 1: 4-6 weight ratio, preferably 1:5 weight ratio, which is that if the content of the first mixture is high, it is possible to provide high nutrition to companion animals. However, it may be difficult to effectively supply nutrients because nutrients not only exceed the recommended daily amount, but also have poor viscosity.

Finally, the stirred mixture is filled in a container (S40).

The mixture that is stirred in step S30 may be filled in a container, and the viscosity of the mixture may be in the range of 10,000 to 45,000 cPs, preferably 15,000 to 40,000 cPs, and most preferably 30,000 to 35,000 cPs.

If the viscosity is less than 10,000 cPs, the final product, the nutrient, may flow down and be very inconvenient to administer to companion animals such as dogs or cats. that in itself is impossible.

The container may be formed of any one selected from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and metal, and there is no limitation in its shape, but is preferably a tube shape. can
