Ana Rita Monforte, PhD, Manager of Global Flavour & Data Sciences at AFB International, presented “Leveraging AI to Predict Pet Food Palatability” at Petfood Forum 2026, showcasing how artificial intelligence is transforming palatant development. By integrating recipe, analytical, and animal data, AI-driven models can help predict palatability outcomes earlier, reduce...
Palatability with less phosphorus is possible
The pet food industry recognizes that palatants are a main contributor of inorganic phosphorus in a finished cat food. It is also acknowledged it is a challenge to lower the level of phosphorus while maintaining palatability. Scientists at AFB succeeded in developing new feline palatant solutions to address the challenge. To learn more, download our recent editorial in the May 2021 issue of PETS International magazine.
