Problems solved by technology

[0004] In forming pet food, this is especially true for products involving any form of extrusion process, as these processes are known to be particularly difficult to start and stop, making the amount of wasted "off-spec" product during starting and stopping of these processes relatively small.

example 1

[0033] In this example, the commercial pet food is a strip of dried meat-based meat slices with a coating of flavoring material on the upper surface of the strip.

[0034] The edible substrate is a product of a type well known to those skilled in the art, and is sold according to Effem Foods Pty. Ltd. of Kelly St, Wodonga VIC 3690. PRODUCT is manufactured with the same formula and process.

[0035] Specifically, according to the present invention, the edible substrate is produced by crushing meat and other ingredients, mixing them, and extruding them on a moving conveyor belt into a long, flat strip of mixture. This is done by an extrusion nozzle which makes the cross-sectional shape of the mixture a strip.

[0036] In addition, a flavored topping mixture 5 is prepared in a separate mixing container, the topping mixture 5 includes the flavor material 10 suspended in a viscous fluid gel 15; and when the strip 20 emerges from the extrusion nozzle 25, The topping mixture is added on...

example 2

[0045]In this example, the substrate is a meat-based tubular strip, and the center of the tubular strip is filled with a flavored material contained in gel or gum.

[0046] The edible substrate is a type of product known to those skilled in the art as in Example 1 above.

[0047] Specifically, according to the present invention, the edible substrate is produced by crushing meat and other ingredients, mixing them, and co-extruding them on a moving conveyor belt into a long, hollow mixture tube. This is done by pressing a nozzle which gives the tube a tubular cross-sectional shape. In addition, a flavored mixture is prepared in a separate mixing container, the mixture includes flavoring particles suspended in a viscous fluid gel, and when the mixture emerges from the extrusion nozzle, the mixture is co-extruded to the center of the tube in.

[0048] Figure 5 Indicates a coextrusion nozzle suitable for this purpose. The nozzle has an outer structure 100 with an inner contour 105 th...

Abstract

A commercial packeted pet food product, having: an edible substrate, said substrate including at least one surface adapted to receive a suspension of flavoursome materials in a paste, gum or gel; and flavoursome materials, adhering to said surface, which substantially contribute to producing the flavour profile of said pet food product when consumed.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of commercial pet food manufacturing. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for effectively improving the flavour profile of commercially produced pet food with minimal damage to the manufacturing process. Background technique [0002] In the field of commercial pet food manufacturing, providing a variety of flavor compositions within the specifications of foods sold under any given brand is expected by the market and has practical advantages. This can change the animal's recipes and encourage pet owners to purchase a large number of products within the brand, instead of purchasing multiple products of different brands in order to diversify their pet recipes. [0003] However, the main cost of this method in terms of material waste and factory downtime comes from the process of stopping the production line after producing the first taste food, and cleaning and restarting the second taste food production l...
