摘要:
The invention provides novel food compositions having a realistic meat-like appearance, feel, and texture. The compositions comprise from about 40 to about 90% functional proteins, from about 0.05 to about 2% of one or more cross-linking agents, and from about 60 to about 10% of a meat slurry, wherein the meat slurry comprises meat and one or more humectants plasticizers in a meat:humectant plasticizer ratio of from about 20:80 to about 80:20. The compositions are produced by heating a preconditioned mixture of the food components under pressure and then expanding the heated composition to form the food composition.

Disclosed herein is an edible animal toy comprising: a body, wherein the body consists of animal edible material; wherein the body comprises at least one hole opening into a hollow interior, wherein the hollow interior is configured to receive edible treats. Also disclosed herein is an edible animal toy prepared by the process of: mixing two or more edible ingredients to prepare a dough; shaping the dough in a shape of a body having a hollow interior; and baking the shaped dough to obtain the edible animal toy. Also disclosed herein is a method of preparing an edible animal toy, the method comprising: mixing two or more edible ingredients to prepare a dough; shaping the dough in a shape of a body having a hollow interior; and baking the shaped dough to obtain the edible animal toy.
摘要:
A pet treat is manufactured of mostly or entirely of a compressed food material or similar substance. The treat has a semi-rigid or flexible outer shell, skin, film or membrane formed of an edible paper products such as a food paper or rice paper of a type capable of being made from white rice flour, tapioca flour, salt, and water, or from a planar sheet of edible material made from, for example, ground yellow corn, or, with any material, may be used separately or together with poultry by-products, fish meal, catnip or fish oil. Catnip, alfalfa, or any other olfactory or gustative attractive material may be provided in a liquid or flake form, and may be applied integrally in the manufacture of the edible sheet, or included in a central core that is encased by the outer sheets. A method and means of packaging is also provided.

Apparatus, systems and methods are disclosed for manufacturing semi-moist meatballs. An illustrative embodiment provides a method of manufacturing generally spherical pet treats comprising: (a) providing a ground mix of proteinaceous material, flavor enhancers and preservatives to a portioning device that divides said mix into smaller portions of roughly uniform volume, (b) placing said portions on a first belt of a first conveyor moving at a first speed in a longitudinal direction, (c) periodically pressing said portions with a second belt of a second conveyor, where said second belt operates in a plane at a height above, and substantially parallel to, said first belt, said second belt moving at a second speed in substantially the same longitudinal direction as said first belt, while also oscillating back and forth in a lateral direction that is at an angle to said longitudinal direction, such that said portions are transformed into generally spherical shapes.

A method of sustainably producing an aquaculture meat product by feeding a fish over its dietary cycles a sustainably produced aquaculture feed composition is disclosed. This method comprises: a) formulating an aquaculture feed composition by replacing all or part of fish oil in the composition with an alternate source(s) of eicosapentaenoic acid (“EPA”) and, optionally, docosahexaenoic acid (“DHA”), wherein the EPA:DHA ratio is at least 2:1 in the aquaculture feed composition; and, b) adjusting the aquaculture feed composition over the life cycle of the fish to produce an aquaculture meat product; wherein the Feeder Fish Efficiency Ratio for fish oil is equal to or less than two and the aquaculture meat product has a EPA:DHA ratio equal to or greater than 1.4:1.

The present invention relates to an animal chew including a resin and a method of direct injection molding the animal chew using a modified screw. The screw may incorporate, for example, additional flights or a larger transition zone. Additionally, the particle size of the resin may be less than 2000 microns.
摘要:
A method of making a pet chew toy contains steps of: A. processing raw materials, wherein various raw materials are mixed together and ground; B. pressing a mold, wherein the mold is used to press a ground mixer from the step of A, forming a semi-finished product; C. pasting ground meat, wherein at least one fluidic ground meat layer formed by applying the ground meat repeatedly is pasted on an upper and a bottom surfaces of the semi-finished product; D. dehydrating and drying the semi-finished product by heat, wherein the semi-finished product pasted the ground meat layer is heated by a drying machine to eliminate excessive moisture; E. cutting the semi-finished product wrapped by the meat slice to form a finished product, wherein after the semi-finished product pasted the ground meat layer is heated to eliminate excessive moisture, it is cut in a certain shape to form the finished product.
