Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a composite fiber pet hair removal paste composition and its preparation method, belonging to the field of pet food technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the continued rise in pet ownership, especially the popularity of long-haired pets such as cats and dogs, the market demand for pet health care products is growing rapidly. Hairballs are a common digestive problem in long-haired pets, mainly caused by pets ingesting hair during their daily grooming, which accumulates in the digestive tract and forms hairballs. Hairballs can cause vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation, and in severe cases, even intestinal obstruction, threatening the pet's life and health.

[0003] Currently, fur-reducing products on the market are mainly divided into three categories based on their mechanism of action: The first type is oil-based hairball remedy, which relies on the lubricating effect of ingredients such as mineral oil and vegetable oil to reduce the frictional resistance between the hairball and the intestinal wall to promote excretion. However, long-term intake of mineral oil can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and vegetable oil has a low digestibility and utilization rate, which can easily cause diarrhea in pets. The second category is dietary fiber products, including hairball removal tablets and powders. These products stimulate intestinal peristalsis by adding plant fibers such as barley grass and alfalfa. However, their fiber type is limited, mainly consisting of insoluble fiber, which has limited ability to wrap hairballs and poor palatability, resulting in a high rate of pets refusing to eat them and thus the actual hairball removal effect is not as expected. The third category consists of chemical additives, which improve palatability by adding artificial palatability enhancers or add laxative ingredients to accelerate intestinal emptying. However, artificial palatability enhancers may cause an imbalance in the pet's gut microbiota, and the abuse of laxative ingredients can damage the intestinal mucosal barrier function. Long-term use poses safety risks.

[0004] In recent years, although some technologies have attempted to optimize hairball removal effects through compound ingredients, such as Chinese patent application 202510434354.5 which discloses a hairball removal combination formula for cats, using a combination of fiber, prebiotics, and post-generics, this technology still has certain limitations: First, the synergistic efficiency between hairball encapsulation and intestinal peristalsis is insufficient; second, the formula only focuses on hair removal and basic nutritional supplementation, and cannot reduce hair loss and hairball formation from the source; third, the emulsification stability of the product has not been optimized, and oil-water separation is likely to occur during long-term storage, affecting the efficacy and shelf life.

[0005] Existing technologies generally suffer from a lack of functionality; most products focus solely on the physical removal of hairballs, neglecting the synergistic improvement of gut microbiota balance, hair health maintenance, and product safety. Furthermore, some products use chemical emulsifiers (such as sucrose esters and mono / diglycerides), which, while improving the paste's consistency, may burden a pet's liver metabolism with long-term consumption.

[0006] Therefore, developing a hair removal product that is highly effective, safe, gentle, and nutritionally fortified has become a pressing technical problem to be solved in the current pet health care field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, a composite fiber pet hairball remedy composition and its preparation method are provided. By employing the synergistic effect of a composite fiber system, a natural lubricating compound, and a probiotic regulator, it achieves gentle and efficient hair removal, reducing hairballs from the source. Simultaneously, it takes into account the balance of the intestinal microecology and the health maintenance of the fur. The product has strong emulsification stability, excellent palatability, and no metabolic burden from chemical additives, making it suitable for long-term use by pets.

[0008] According to one aspect of this application, a composite fiber pet hairball remedy composition is provided, comprising a composite fiber system, a matrix component, a natural lubricating compound, a prebiotic regulator, a natural emulsifying stabilizer, a nutritional fortifier, and a meat base. The composite fiber system, by weight, includes soluble and insoluble fibers; wherein the insoluble fibers include 15-20 parts wheat fiber and 20-30 parts barley grass powder; the soluble fibers include 10-15 parts psyllium husk; the matrix components, by weight, include 400-450 parts purified water and 100-150 parts maltitol; the natural lubricating compound, by weight, includes 200-220 parts fish oil and 25-35 parts lecithin; the probiotic regulator, by weight... The ingredients, by weight, include 15-20 parts of inactivated Pediococcus lactis; the natural emulsifying stabilizer, by weight, includes 30-40 parts of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and 30-40 parts of sodium alginate; the nutritional fortifier, by weight, includes 10-15 parts of taurine, 10-15 parts of vitamin B1, 10-15 parts of vitamin B6, 10-15 parts of vitamin E, 10-15 parts of nisin, and 10-15 parts of citric acid; and the meat base, by weight, is 100-120 parts.

[0009] Optionally, the weight ratio of soluble fibers to insoluble fibers in the composite fiber system is 1:(2.5-4).

[0010] Specifically, this ratio limits the soluble fiber to absorb water and swell to form a gel that effectively wraps the hairball and softens the stool, while the insoluble fiber increases the stool volume and stimulates intestinal peristalsis. The two work synergistically to significantly improve the efficiency and speed of hair removal, while also improving stool formation and reducing the occurrence of vomiting and constipation.

[0011] Optionally, the weight ratio of wheat fiber to barley grass powder in the insoluble fiber is (0.6-0.9):1.

[0012] Specifically, wheat fiber has a stronger rigidity and a more significant intestinal stimulating effect, while barley grass powder has a milder texture and contains a variety of nutrients. When the two are combined in this ratio, the problem of excessive or insufficient intestinal stimulating effect caused by a single insoluble fiber can be avoided. Wheat fiber provides the core peristaltic power, while barley grass powder soothes the irritation and supplements nutrition. Under the synergistic effect, the frequency of intestinal peristalsis is more stable, hairballs are expelled more smoothly, and friction damage to the intestinal mucosa is reduced, making it especially suitable for pets with sensitive intestines.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes an auxiliary agent for removing hair, which is 3-10 parts by weight of elm bark powder.

[0014] Specifically, elm bark powder is rich in mucilage, which rapidly swells upon contact with water to form a gel-like substance. This substance coats the mucosal surface within the digestive tract, forming a protective, lubricating film. This film reduces friction between the hairballs and the intestinal wall, promoting smooth passage of the hairballs through the digestive tract and preventing vomiting or intestinal obstruction caused by accumulation.

[0015] In addition, the psyllium husk absorbs water and swells to form an inner gel layer, which helps to initially encapsulate and soften the hairball. The mucilage in elm bark powder further strengthens this gel layer, providing additional lubrication and reducing resistance to the hairball in the intestines. Meanwhile, insoluble fiber increases stool volume and stimulates intestinal peristalsis, creating a "pushing" force; the lubricating film of elm bark powder reduces friction, making the pushing process smoother and avoiding excessive intestinal strain or inflammation. The synergistic effect of these three components—soluble fiber providing the encapsulation base, elm bark powder enhancing the lubricating coating, and insoluble fiber providing volume propulsion—significantly improves the efficiency of hairball expulsion.

[0016] Optionally, the meat base is one or more of chicken paste, fish paste, pork liver paste, and beef paste. Chicken paste is preferred.

[0017] According to another aspect of this application, a method for preparing the above-mentioned composite fiber pet hair-reducing paste composition is also provided, comprising the following steps: (1) Raw material pretreatment: The meat base is crushed into minced meat; the components of the composite fiber system are pre-dissolved in water and allowed to stand to form a composite fiber pregel; (2) Aqueous phase preparation: Pour the purified water and maltitol from the matrix components into the emulsification pot, turn on the homogenizer, add the dry-mixed natural emulsifying stabilizer, keep warm and homogenize, then cool down, and then add 60-80% of the composite fiber pregel and nutrient fortifier in sequence, and homogenize until completely dissolved. (3) Oil phase preparation: Add fish oil and lecithin to the oil phase pot, heat and stir until clear and transparent, then cool down; (4) Phase emulsification: Confirm that the temperature difference between the oil phase and the water phase is ≤1℃, turn on the emulsification pot for homogenization, draw the oil phase into the water phase, perform vacuum degassing after homogenization, and then add the remaining composite fiber pregel shear to the emulsion and mix evenly. (5) Sterilization: The combined material is heated and kept at a constant temperature, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain the composite fiber pet hair removal paste composition.

[0018] Optionally, in step (1), each component of the composite fiber system is pre-dissolved in warm water at 40-45℃ with a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:4-6. After stirring evenly, the mixture is allowed to stand for 20-40 minutes to form a composite fiber pregel.

[0019] Specifically, 40-45℃ warm water can promote the full absorption and swelling of composite fibers without damaging their natural structure. The material-to-liquid ratio ensures that the pregel with appropriate viscosity is formed after the fibers swell, avoiding excessive thinness or thickness. Standing allows the fiber molecules to fully expand and form a uniform gel network, which can be quickly dispersed when added to the aqueous phase or emulsion without the risk of clumping. This pretreatment step, together with the subsequent staged addition process, further improves the uniformity of fiber dispersion and product stability.

[0020] Optionally, in step (2), the temperature for heat preservation and homogenization is 85-90℃, and the heat preservation time is 8-10 min; after cooling, the temperature is controlled at 68-72℃; and the rotation speed for homogenization is 6000-8000 r / min. In step (3), the heating temperature is 75-80℃ and the stirring speed is 3000-5000r / min; after cooling, the temperature is controlled at 68-72℃.

[0021] Optionally, in step (4), the homogenization speed of the phase emulsification is 8000-10000 r / min, the number of homogenizations is 4-5, and the homogenization time is 6-8 min each time; The vacuum degree of vacuum degassing is -0.08~-0.09MPa, and the degassing time is 5-8min; the rotation speed when adding the remaining composite fiber pregel shear is 7000-9000r / min, and the mixing time is 5-8min.

[0022] Specifically, high-speed homogenization can disperse oil-water emulsions to the micron level, ensuring system stability. Vacuum degassing can effectively remove air bubbles from the emulsion, avoiding oxidation, deterioration, and stratification caused by bubble rupture during storage. The remaining fiber pregel is added by high-speed shearing, which can quickly disperse the fibers into the emulsion, forming a stable structure in which the emulsion encapsulates the fibers, thus preventing fiber sedimentation.

[0023] Optionally, in step (5), the combined material is heated to 85-90℃ and sterilized for 1-1.5h, and then rapidly cooled to below 40℃ within 30min.

[0024] In this application, the room temperature is 25°C.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this application include, but are not limited to: 1. This application utilizes a composite system of soluble fiber (psyllium husk) and insoluble fiber (wheat fiber, barley grass powder), along with a high proportion of inactivated Pediococcus lactis for post-biotic regulation. This, combined with fish oil-lecithin natural lubricant and natural emulsifying stabilizer, achieves gentle and rapid hair removal, significantly reduces the risk of hairball formation, improves intestinal microecological balance and fur health, avoids interference with vitamin absorption by traditional oil-based products and the dysbiosis caused by chemical lubricants, and is safer and suitable for long-term use.

[0026] 2. The optimization of the specific ratio of soluble to insoluble fiber and the ratio of wheat fiber to barley grass powder in the composite fiber system of this application further enhances the synergistic effect of intestinal peristalsis and hairball encapsulation, making hair removal more effective and significantly increasing the amount of fecal hair excretion, while reducing pet shedding; the addition of elm bark powder as an auxiliary hair removal agent provides additional natural lubrication, further strengthens hairball encapsulation, reduces the risk of intestinal obstruction, and improves the overall gentleness of hair removal.

[0027] 3. The probiotic regulator in this application is limited to a single inactivated Pediococcus lactis, whose metabolites can specifically proliferate beneficial bacteria in the intestine, regulate the balance of intestinal flora, reduce the risk of hairball formation from the source, and improve the digestive function of pets, reducing intestinal discomfort such as diarrhea and constipation; a combination of natural emulsifying stabilizers, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate, is used to replace traditional chemical emulsifiers, which have strong emulsification stability and do not separate into layers or precipitate when stored at room temperature for a long time.

[0028] 4. In this application, the inclusion of natural lubricating complex (fish oil + lecithin) synergistically supplements Omega-3 fatty acids and lecithin, promoting hair growth, reducing hair loss, and improving coat luster; meat base and maltitol enhance product palatability, resulting in a low rate of pet refusal to eat.

[0029] 5. The process design of adding composite fiber pregel in stages in the preparation method of this application, combined with parameters such as temperature and rotation speed, not only ensures the stability of the emulsion and the uniform dispersion of the fiber, but also retains the fiber activity and heat-sensitive components, thus ensuring the fineness and stability of the product.

[0052] Comparative Example 1 The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 3 is that the composite fiber system is “43 parts barley grass powder + 12 parts psyllium husk”, while all other aspects are the same.

[0053] Comparative Example 2 The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 3 is that the composite fiber pregel was added entirely during the aqueous phase preparation stage, while all other aspects were the same.

[0054] Comparative Example 3 The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 3 is that the composite fiber system is not pre-dissolved and allowed to stand in 42°C warm water, but is added directly in the form of dry powder according to the original phased addition sequence (70% added to the aqueous phase and 30% added after phase combination). All other aspects are the same.

[0055] Experimental Example The experimental animals were healthy adult long-haired cats (Persian or similar breeds, weighing 3.5-5.5 kg, aged 2-5 years, half male and half female). All cats had not used any hairball remedy products within the 6 months prior to the experiment. The experiment was conducted in a standard animal facility with free access to water and a identical basal diet (compliant with AAFCO adult cat nutritional standards). Ten cats were randomly assigned to each group, and the experiment lasted 14 days. Each cat was supplemented with 5g of hairball remedy daily (applied evenly to the front paws or fed directly). Data were statistically analyzed using analytical software; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0056] 1. Hair removal effect test Feces from all cats in each group were collected daily, rinsed with sterile saline, and then the hair was separated by passing through a 200-mesh filter. The feces were rinsed three times with clean water, dried at 65°C to constant weight, accurately weighed, and the cumulative amount of hair expelled was recorded. The number of vomiting incidents was also recorded (vomit containing hairballs was counted as one incident). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0057] Table 1. Data on feather removal effect (mean ± standard deviation)

[0058] 2. Product stability testing Referencing GB / T 31282-2014 "Test Methods for Stability of Cosmetics" and industry practices for pet nutritional pastes, 100g of each product group was placed in centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 3000r / min for 30min to observe layering. Another 200g was placed in a transparent glass bottle and stored at 25℃ for 12 months. Oil separation, precipitation, and viscosity changes (measured using a Brookfield viscometer) were observed monthly. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0059] Table 2 Product Stability Test

[0060] 3. Palatability evaluation Following the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) pet oral health product acceptability testing protocol and common palatability assessment methods in the pet nutrition industry, 5g of hairball paste was placed in a clean stainless steel dish at the same time each day in the cat's cage. The cat's licking rate was recorded within 5 minutes (>90% licked was considered complete acceptance, 50-90% partial acceptance, and <50% rejection). The test was conducted for 3 consecutive days, and the average value was taken. The ambient temperature was controlled between 22-25℃ to avoid external interference. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0061] Table 3 Palatability Evaluation Results

[0062] In summary, the composite fiber pet hair removal paste composition prepared using the raw materials and preparation method specified in this application achieves a comprehensive improvement in hair removal efficiency, stability, and palatability. Specifically, the cumulative hair removal amount in feces of Examples 1-4 was significantly higher than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, with Example 4 showing the best performance at 235±15 mg / animal, representing a 65.5% increase compared to Comparative Example 1 (142±22 mg / animal) and a 51.6% increase compared to Comparative Example 3 (155±20 mg / animal). Comparative Example 1, due to the lack of wheat fiber, suffered from an imbalance in the composite fiber ratio, resulting in insufficient hair removal power. Comparative Examples 2 and 3, due to uneven fiber dispersion, could not fully utilize their hair removal function, leading to significantly lower removal amounts.

[0063] Regarding stability, the composite fiber pet hairball remedy composition prepared in this application exhibits no oil separation or precipitation during long-term storage, and has a low viscosity change rate, meeting the quality requirements for industrial production and market circulation. Comparative Example 1, due to an imbalance in the composite fiber ratio, failed to form a stable fiber-emulsifier network, resulting in significant oil separation after long-term storage. Comparative Example 2, with its one-time addition of fiber, interfered with the emulsification process, disrupting system stability. Comparative Example 3, due to fiber aggregation, formed significant precipitation after storage; none of these examples meet the shelf-life quality requirements for pet nutritional pastes. Regarding palatability, the composite fiber pet hairball remedy composition prepared in this application has a pet acceptance rate of over 90%, ensuring continuous product use and preventing hairball remedy failure due to refusal to eat.

[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
