Moisture content in dry pet food is often overlooked, yet it holds the key to numerous aspects that significantly impact the final product. When manufacturers think about moisture, they usually associate it with product quality. However, this essential element is much broader, influencing palatability and cost efficiency. The correlation between...
Palatant Performance in Wet Pet Food when using Thermal Processing
AFB is focused on clearly understanding the needs of our customers. This includes building expertise on the interaction of our palatant with various diets and processing methods—the foundation of our success in supporting customers.
When it comes to wet pet food, the palatants may be exposed to one or more thermal processing steps, such as an emulsifier, steam tunnel, or retort before being consumed by the pet. These thermal processing steps may alter a palatant’s color and composition.
