Abstract: A natural hydrocolloid system can be used in, e.g., pet food compositions. Another aspect of the present disclosure is pet food compositions comprising such a natural hydrocolloid system, and preparation methods thereof. The hydrocolloid system can use blends of fruit fibers, such as citrus and apple fibers, and/or plant-based polysaccharides, such as psyllium, okra, chia, flaxseed, or seaweed; and can provide a gravy and even a jelly with functionalities comparable to the existing gravies. The blends can replace currently used hydrocolloids and can be used in new recipes with natural and clean labels.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods of preparing wet food products, such as jellified wet food products. Methods include preparing a pre-gel mixture comprising a combination of food ingredients, one or more alginate, and an aqueous liquid; adding one or more organic acids to the pre-gel mixture to generate a jellified composition; and expulsing aqueous liquid within the jellified composition. The present disclosure further provides microbially stable wet food products prepared using such methods.

Abstract: A wet food supply apparatus of a wet food processing system includes an outer housing defining an internal cavity, a rotary food processing unit located within the internal cavity during operation of the wet food supply apparatus, and a separation assembly for withdrawing the rotary food processing unit from within the internal cavity for cleaning purposes. The separation assembly includes a threaded rod having a first portion attached to the rotary food processing unit, a second portion rotatably supported by the outer housing for relative rotation, and a third, terminal end portion including a tool mounting member for receiving a drive head of a drive mechanism, such as a portable, battery powered rotary impact tool, for rotating the threaded rod to selectively shift the rotary food processing unit out of the internal cavity of the outer housing to expose the rotary food processing unit.

Abstract: A filling device comprises a modified vacuum-filling head that introduces a viscous filling, such as a gravy, into a loaf matrix in a retortable can so that the filling remains enclosed by the set loaf matrix after retorting. The filling can remain as a viscous gravy or can set as a gel, depending on the formulation of the filling. Preferably the viscous filling is distributed horizontally into the loaf matrix, for example through horizontally-facing apertures, during a pause in the descent of the can away from the filling device. The flow of the filling can be controlled by synchronized pneumatic valves.
