Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet trace element instant beverage technology, specifically a dual-compartment, ready-to-make pet trace element instant beverage and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Pet trace element supplements are important products for ensuring the health of companion pets such as dogs and cats. Their core function is to supplement pets with trace elements such as iron, zinc, selenium, and manganese, which are needed for growth and development. They can prevent problems such as hair loss, pica, poor bone development, and decreased immunity caused by trace element deficiency. They are suitable for daily nutritional supplementation for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes.

[0003] However, currently available pet trace element supplements are mainly divided into three categories: premixed liquid beverages, solid powders, and solid tablets. All three have significant technical shortcomings and cannot simultaneously meet the market demands for "retained trace element activity, rapid dissolution and absorption, precise dosage, good palatability, convenient use, and resistance to spoilage." Specifically: First, premixed liquid pet trace element beverages are prone to reacting with metal ions and oxygen in water, resulting in rapid loss of activity, short shelf life, and uneven dosage due to sedimentation and stratification. They also require refrigeration for transportation and storage and are susceptible to microbial growth and spoilage after opening. Second, solid trace element powders have poor solubility, easily clump together, are difficult to control when manually dispensed, generate dust and are unhygienic, and have poor palatability, leading to high rates of pet refusal to eat. Third, solid trace element tablets are hard, difficult to digest and absorb, have fixed dosages that cannot be flexibly adjusted, and are prone to moisture absorption and disintegration during storage, resulting in easy loss of trace element activity.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a dual-compartment, ready-to-use pet trace element instant beverage and its preparation method to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The parameters of the dual-compartment, ready-to-use pet trace element instant beverage prepared in the examples are shown in Table 1: Table 1: Parameters of the dual-compartment instant pet trace element beverage prepared in the examples To verify the scientific validity of the formulation range of the present invention, three comparative examples were set up, all based on Example 1, except that the content of a single component was changed, which exceeded the range defined by the embodiments of the present invention, while other process parameters were exactly the same as those in Example 1.

[0042] Comparative Example 1: In this comparative example, the content of pet-specific trace element compound powder is 16%, which exceeds the 8-15% range defined in the claims. Other process parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0043] Comparative Example 2: In this comparative example, the content of the instant emulsifier is 4%, which is lower than the 5-10% range defined in the claims, and other process parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0044] Comparative Example 3: In this comparative example, the content of the mild intestinal-protecting ingredient is 9%, which exceeds the 3-8% range defined in the claims. Other process parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0045] The parameters of the dual-compartment, ready-to-use pet trace element instant beverage prepared in comparison are shown in Table 2: Table 2: Parameters of the dual-compartment instant pet trace element beverage prepared in the comparative example IV. Performance Testing: The following performance tests were conducted on the dual-compartment, ready-to-use pet trace element instant beverages prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3. All test standards were industry-recognized standards for pet nutritional supplements, as detailed below: a. The retention rate of trace element activity was tested according to GB / T34747-2017 "Trace Element Supplements for Pet Food" standard (after 18 months of storage). b. Test the instant solubility (under hand-shaking conditions) according to the QB / T4574-2013 standard for instant powder; c. Test the absorption efficiency of trace elements according to GB / T34747-2017 "Trace Element Supplements for Pet Food" standard; d. Palatability was tested using an artificial feeding experiment (20 healthy adult dogs and 20 healthy adult cats were selected, fed once a day, and the feed intake rate was recorded). e. Test the microbial content according to GB13078-2017 "Feed Hygiene Standard" (after 18 months of storage); f. Artificial feeding trial was used to detect intestinal irritation (continuous feeding for 30 days, and the incidence of intestinal discomfort was counted).

[0046] Performance data for the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 3: V. Analysis Conclusion: As shown in Tables 2 and 3, in Comparative Example 1, the content of the pet-specific trace element compound powder exceeded the limit of 8-15%, resulting in an imbalance in the trace element ratio, a 15.5% decrease in activity retention rate, a 20.5% decrease in absorption efficiency, a significant reduction in palatability, and a significant increase in the incidence of intestinal discomfort. The main reason is that excessive trace elements are prone to oxidation reactions and increase the burden on the pet's intestines. In Comparative Example 2, the content of the instant emulsifier was below the limit of 5-10%, failing to achieve instant dissolution and extending the dissolution time by more than 5 times. Although other performance characteristics were not significantly abnormal, it could not meet the need for convenient use. In Comparative Example 3, the content of the mild intestinal-protecting ingredients exceeded the limit of 3-8%, leading to an increased incidence of intestinal discomfort. The main reason is that excessive intestinal-protecting ingredients can easily disrupt the balance of the pet's intestinal flora and cause intestinal disorders. The performance defects of the above comparative examples fully verify the scientific validity and rationality of the formulation range defined in the claims of this invention.

[0047] According to Tables 1 and 3, Example 1 of the present invention is the preferred embodiment, with the content of each component falling within the middle value of the range defined in the claims, resulting in the best synergistic effect: 12% pet-specific trace element compound powder and 8% active protectant work synergistically to achieve a trace element activity retention rate of 97% and an absorption efficiency of 88%; 7% instant emulsifier (polyglycerol fatty acid ester and maltitol weight ratio 2:1, HLB value 12) enables instant dissolution in 4 seconds without layering or clumping; 15% palatability-inducing component and 5% mild gut-protecting component work synergistically to achieve a pet feed intake rate of 98% / 97% without intestinal discomfort; 43% carrier effectively ensures the flowability and stability of the instant powder, and the buffer pure base solution has a pH of 7.0 and a conductivity of 8 μS / cm, further improving the solubility and stability of trace elements. Examples 2 and 3 are the lower and upper limits of the formulation, respectively, and all performance characteristics meet the usage requirements without obvious defects, indicating that the formulation range defined in the claims of the present invention has good applicability and stability.
