A highly palatable and long lasting dog chew for pets has been developed by combining a formulation and processing sequence which results in a highly palatable meat based filling being incorporated into the center of a preformed rawhide stick or rawhide roll. Such outside rawhide fraction is extremely tough and chewy which results in a dog chew which takes a long period of time for the dog to consume. The inside meat filling is highly palatable which results in the animal maintaining interest in the treat until nearly the entire chew has been consumed. The interior meat filling is preserved by reduced water activity to below 0.85 as a result of incorporating of salt, sugars and natural humectants. Said filling is formulated and processed in such a manner that the water phase is bound within the filling and does not pass by capillary action to the outside rawhide fraction. This results in the outer rawhide shell maintaining a tough and chewable texture until such point as the dog is offered the finished chew.

The present invention is a system for replacing gluten in food products. Preferably, the gluten replacement system of the present invention utilizes gluten-free ingredients that mimic the functions of gluten in a dough and in a final product made from the dough. The gluten replacement system can be used to formulate food products that are safe for consumption by those who have a gluten intolerance, allergy or sensitivity, or by those who follow a gluten-free diet. The present invention is also directed to a composition for making a gluten-free product. The composition preferably mimics the functions of gluten in a food product. This composition may include a gluten-free gas-retaining polymer and a gluten-free setting polymer, and it may also include a hydrocolloid or a starch, or both.

The present invention relates in general to cartridges for storage and processing of pre-formulated food materials, and methods and apparatus for processing the food materials stored within such cartridges. More particularly, the present invention relates to a unique, fully recyclable food cartridge, comprising an annular cylindrical container within which the pre-formulated food material is sealed for storage and cooking, an integral burst disk, a discharge die located above the burst disk and a sensory device with information for controlling the thermo-mechanical processing of the food materials stored within such food storage cartridge by the method and apparatus. The method includes the steps of inserting the cartridge into the apparatus, causing the apparatus to heat and pressurize the annular container until the burst disk ruptures and collapsing the cartridge into a thin, recyclable disk by means of application of controlled pressure on the lower annulus of the container to assist in the ejection of the cooked food through the discharge die.

The invention discloses a preparation method of oxalate decarboxylase. The method comprises the following steps: constructing a recombinant expression plasmid vector comprising Bacillus-containing acid induced promoter, a secretion signal peptide, and a fungus-derived oxalate decarboxylase gene prepared under the control of the secretion signal peptide, transforming bacilli normally growing in a pH value being not more than 4.5 by the vector to prepare oxalate decarboxylase recombinant bacteria; and carrying out culture and acid feeding on the recombinant bacteria in a fermentation medium, inducing the recombinant bacteria, and carrying out simple purification to recover generated extracellular oxalate decarboxylase. The extracellular oxalate decarboxylase prepared through the method is used in diagnosis reagent raw materials, medicinal compositions, healthcare foods or formulated foods with special medical uses. The mutated acid induced promoter is adopted to substitute an original acid induced promoter in the recombinant expression vector, so the transformed bacilli have a high expression level.
