Benefits of technology

[0014] The present invention provides a shelf-stable multicomponent food product having improved palatability and methods of making and using the same. The shelf-stable multicomponent pet or animal food product of the present invention can function as a delivery system for process unstable or sensitive ingredients. The delivery system is a dual texture food product having a first component containing a mixture of lipid and solid ingredients forming a cream textured matrix, in which the first component is formed without an aqueous phase and a total moisture content less than about 15 wt

Abstract

A dual texture pet or animal food product having inner and outer components. The soft inner component contains a mixture of lipid and solid ingredients and has a water activity, aw, less than about 0.65 and a total moisture content less than about 15 wt %. The outer component is a cereal based shell containing at least one ingredient comprising a carbohydrate, fat, protein or combination thereof, the shell component having a total moisture content less than about 20 wt %. The shell component completely surrounds the soft inner component and is formed by the co-extrusion of the soft inner component within the shell component to form one dual component pet or animal food product.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 09 / 945,994 which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,312,746 issued Nov. 6, 2001, which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 6,254,910 issued Jul. 3, 2001, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Pat. No. 6,117,477 issued Sep. 12, 2000.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to food products and, more particularly, to multicomponent dry pet or animal food products that significantly improve palatability. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Semi-moist edible products are known in the art. Such products, for example, include those made by adding a water based soft component to a dry component. The water based component is typically stabilized using a variety of gelling agents, sugars, salts, glycols, and / or by using heat. [0004] U.S. Pat. No. 4,190,679 describes a dual-textured pet food containing a soft moist meaty portion containing 5-25% moisture with a water activity of 0.5-0.90. U.S. Pat. No. ...
