Description

Cat food composition and its manufacturing method {Cat food composition and manufacturing method thereof}

The present invention relates to a composition for cat food and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to promote the overall health of cats by mixing seaweed and vegetables useful for cat health, using meat essential for a cat, a carnivorous animal, as a basic material. Cat food that cats can eat without objection while having various nutrients by adding ingredients with a cat's favorite scent while considering the nutrients that cats cannot synthesize in the body and the nutrients that reflect the cat's behavioral habits. It relates to a composition and a method for preparing the same.

Recently, as the number of households with companion animals increases, various foods related to companion animals such as pet food, snacks, and nutritional supplements are expanding to the level that people eat. Dogs account for the largest proportion of companion animals, but the number of people who own cats is increasing in recent years. Unlike dogs, cats are vulnerable to kidney disease and chronic kidney failure, so water intake is an important factor, but dry food is the most commonly used food. In the case of dry food, it is dry and compressed and needs to be eaten until it grows to a normal size in the cat's stomach, so it gives a feeling of satiety, so it overeats. Because of the cat's habit of not drinking water after ingestion, the powder remains in the mouth, and the powder is oxidized and has a bad effect on the teeth as acidic substances. In addition, dry food has a disadvantage in that water content is less than 5%, so water must be consumed separately. Cats have a habit of consuming water from meat containing 70% water and not drinking water separately. As the amount of water in the body decreases, the amount of saliva decreases, so the residual amount of dry food in the oral cavity increases. The present invention relates to a cat food for supplementing these shortcomings, so as to provide sufficient moisture as well as nutrition supply only with feed.

As an invention for solving the problems of the dry food of the present invention, the present invention is a feed that allows cats to receive various nutrients through feed. , chicken cartilage, silicate, etc. are used. Cats are supplied with animal and vegetable proteins, nutrients that cats cannot synthesize in the body, and various necessary nutrients through the intake of the feed of the present invention, which is effective in preventing diseases such as healthy skin and hair, improvement of gastrointestinal function, and arthritis. By including ingredients that have a favorite scent, we want to provide a food that cats, who are more sensitive to scent than taste, can eat without objection. In particular, it is intended to provide a feed that can be hydrated without additional water supply to cats who do not have separate water intake due to sufficient water content.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described in detail so that those of ordinary skill in the art can easily practice the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention in describing the operating principle of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in detail, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a view showing a method for producing a cat food of the present invention.

The cat food composition according to the present invention comprises meat, vegetables, seaweed or kelp, yellow pollack, chitosan, cheonggukjang, mushroom, vegetable or animal oil, rosemary extract, chicken cartilage, silicate agent, and water.

This will be described in detail as follows.

Cats are carnivores, so cat food should consist primarily of meat or fish.

Meat or fish is the most important feed eaten by a cat, a carnivore, and in the present invention, chicken, a meat that cats like most, is used.

The chicken content of the present invention is 50-60% by weight. One of the most important nutrients in meat is protein. Chicken is a cat's favorite meat, with a protein content of 21%, more protein than beef, and 4.8% fat. In particular, palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid play a role in reducing blood cholesterol levels, making them the most important source of nutrition for cats.

Seaweed or kelp is used to supply vegetable protein and minerals, and the content is 8 to 10% by weight. Seaweed and kelp are strong alkaline foods that contain a large amount of calcium and magnesium to strengthen bones, and their high iodine content serves as a basis for thyroid hormone production. The iron and folic acid contained in seaweed and kelp help prevent anemia. In addition, seaweed and kelp contain taurine. In mammals, taurine is synthesized in pancreas and is used as the main component of bile. become an ingredient In addition, seaweed and kelp contain fucoidan, which is effective in improving the function of the cat's gastrointestinal tract and removing bad breath. In the present invention, in order to increase the effect compared to the content of taurine and fucoidan, seaweed or kelp is concentrated and the concentrate is used.

As for the sodium intake for cats, the minimum daily intake is 0.2% of the food intake and the maximum intake is 1.5%, so a low-salt diet is important. Seaweed and kelp are dried sea creatures and have a high salt content, so boil them in water first to remove the salt before use.

Vegetables are not essential for cats, which are carnivores, but they contain nutrients necessary for cats. The vegetable content of the present invention is 5 to 8% by weight. In the present invention, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots are used, and one of the three may be selected and used, or two or three of the three types may be mixed and used within the total vegetable content ratio. First, sweet potato is a food rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, and contains vitamins, potassium, and magnesium. Because of these ingredients, it is good for cat hair improvement, eye health and constipation, and it is good for blood vessel health because it drains sodium. Pumpkin is one of the foods easily digestible by cats due to its high content of carbohydrate and vitamin A, which is easily digestible and absorbed. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which helps keep your cat's intestines healthy and plays a good role in replenishing fiber.

Hwangtae is a high-protein, low-fat food, and the content is 5-8% by weight. Hwangtaek is a protein source along with meat or fish. By including Hwangtae, animal ingredients make up 55-68% of the total. Hwangtae is dried sea creatures and has a high sodium content, so it is first soaked in water to remove sodium before use.

Chitosan is a material that has been processed to easily absorb chitin contained in shellfish by the human body, and the content is 5-8% by weight. Chitosan inhibits aging by activating degenerated cells, strengthens immunity, and prevents diseases, and regulates the biological rhythm along with the function of activating the body's natural healing ability. In addition, it has the effect of adsorbing and excreting excess harmful cholesterol in the body, that is, decholesterolizing, and discharging heavy metals and pollutants from the body.

Cheonggukjang is manufactured by washing, steaming, and fermenting soybeans. In the fermentation process, Bacillus subtilis (a kind of wild Bacillus subtilis, a type of wild Bacillus subtilis attached to rice straw) is used at room temperature (30℃). to 45° C.), and the content is 3 to 5% by weight. Cheonggukjang not only contains a large amount of various physiologically active substances, antioxidants, and thrombolytic enzymes, but is also a low-calorie, high-protein food with few calories and serves as an intensive source of vegetable protein to balance animal protein for cats. can do. Cheonggukjang used in the feed of the present invention uses powdered Cheonggukjang from which the smell is removed in consideration of the characteristics of cats sensitive to smell.

Mushrooms are a food with high protein content and rich in minerals and dietary fiber, and the content is 3~5% by weight. In particular, beta-glucan contained in mushrooms has the effect of activating the immune function and reducing cholesterol. Mushrooms used in the present invention use freeze-dried and pulverized mushroom powder.

The vegetable oil contains components such as omega-3, and in the present invention, perilla oil or flaxseed oil is used, and the content is 3 to 5% by weight. The omega-3 component contained in perilla oil or flaxseed oil helps to maintain the health of the cat's skin and to maintain its shiny coat.

As the animal oil, fish oil is used in the present invention, and the content is 3 to 5% by weight. Fish oil is a dry oil obtained from fish body. Compared to land animal oil, fish oil contains more polyunsaturated fatty acids and contains fat-soluble vitamins and omega-3, so it helps to maintain cat's skin health and shiny fur just like vegetable oil.

Rosemary is a plant widely used as a spice due to its strong fragrance, and the content is 3 to 5% by weight. Rosemary has oregano thyme, basil, and lavender, and basil and lavender emit a scent that cats especially like, helping cats to easily consume food without any objection due to the nature of cats that respond more to scent than taste. In addition, rosemary has ingredients that help digestion, so it helps in digestion of carnivores, cats, and relieves pain such as muscle pain and arthritis. In particular, cats are more likely to get arthritis by going up and down high places because they like high places. It is better to use an extract of rosemary to increase the concentration.

Chicken cartilage contains hyaluronic acid and the content is 1~2% by weight. Hyaluronic acid is a component used as an adjuvant for arthritis surgery and is effective in preventing arthritis and skin aging. It is effective in preventing arthritis, which can occur a lot due to the habit of cats that enjoy climbing up and down high places.

Silicate is a mineral component consisting of oxygen and silicon, and the content is 1 to 2 wt%. Silicate improves the intestinal function of cats by decomposing and self-purifying organic substances in the water, and through this, it can help to remove the cat's mouth and fecal odor.

In the present invention, although a lot of water is contained in the above ingredients, in order to increase the sufficient moisture content and to facilitate mixing and stirring of the ingredients, broth boiled with chicken or salmon is added and mixed with stirring, and the content of the broth is 8 to 12% by weight. .

The cat food composition of the present invention is such that the total moisture content is 70% or more.

Next, the method for producing cat food according to the present invention comprises the steps of: boiling meat or fish and vegetables in water, respectively, and then pulverizing; Soaking Hwangtae in water and then pulverizing; After removing the salt of seaweed or kelp, extracting with an organic solvent to obtain an extract; and stirring the raw material mixture.

This will be described in detail as follows.

(a) Boiling the chicken in water, separating the chicken bones from the chicken bones, and grinding the meat and chicken cartilage, respectively

Boil the chicken in boiling water for at least 1 hour until fully cooked. Then, the chicken removed from the water is boned and then minced using a grinder so that it can be mixed well with other ingredients. Then, after separating the chicken cartilage from the chicken bones, the chicken cartilage is pulverized. The chicken broth is stored without throwing it away in order to use it when stirring the raw material mixture later.

(b) Boiling vegetables in water and then pulverizing them

Boil vegetables in boiling water for at least 30 minutes. Vegetables include sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots. For vegetables, boil sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots in water in a separate container other than chicken, then remove them and grind or mash them using a grinder.

(c) pulverizing the hwangtae after soaking in water

Hwangtae is dried pollack, a sea creature, so it has a high sodium content. Cats need a significantly lower sodium content than humans, so it's important to reduce the sodium content of yellow pollack. To reduce the sodium content of Hwangtae, soak the Hwangtae in 50 ~ 60°C water for 3 to 4 hours to remove the sodium.

(d) obtaining a seaweed or kelp extract

The active ingredient is extracted from seaweed or kelp stems by adding an organic solvent such as ethanol. First, lightly blanch seaweed or kelp stems in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes to remove salt and then grind them. Then, 70 to 80% of ethanol is added to the pulverized object 6 to 7 times the weight of the object, and the active ingredient is obtained from the object by stirring and extraction at a temperature of 70 to 80 ° C for 24 to 36 hours, and then filtering it to extract the extract. get Then, the extract is concentrated using a reduced pressure concentrator at a temperature of 45 to 50 ° C until the concentration is 60 to 70% to remove ethanol to obtain a final extract. Although seaweed or kelp itself has a high water content, by making it in a liquid form, it is possible to increase the ingredient efficiency compared to the content ratio, facilitate stirring, and increase the water content of cat food.

(e) mixing various raw materials

The raw materials obtained in steps (a) to (c) are mixed.

That is, chicken 50-60% by weight, vegetables 5-8% by weight, yellow pollack 5-8% by weight, seaweed or kelp 8-10% by weight, chitosan 5-8% by weight, cheonggukjang 3-5% by weight, mushrooms 3-5% by weight %, vegetable or animal oil 3~5% by weight, rosemary 3~5%, silicate 1~2% by weight, chicken cartilage 0.5~1% by weight, broth 8~12% by weight Stir and mix uniformly at a temperature of 50 to 60 °C.

(e) packaging

Wet feed is perishable due to its nature, and storage is not easy once opened, so it is packaged in small pouches.

The feed that has been manufactured as described above uses chicken and chicken cartilage, which are essential for carnivorous animals, and basically consumes essential nutrients such as protein and fat, and has the effect of preventing arthritis, and is synthesized in the body using seaweed and kelp. You can consume taurine and fucoidan, which you cannot do, and maintain healthy skin and shiny hair with the effect of omega-3 contained in oil, and even reduce the odor of stool with the effect of silicate. In addition, as it contains rosemary, which smells that cats like, due to the nature of cats that react more sensitively to scent than taste, cats can eat the feed without any objection. have.
