Ingredients for pet food

Native wheat starches are commonly used in pet food as they provide an excellent source of natural carbohydrates. They also serve as an effective binding and thickening agent. Therefore, native starches provide the desired stability in the production of wet and dry feeds. They are used in the production of sauces and gravies in moist feeds and in dry and semi-moist products to improve the flexibility, crunchiness or crispness of pet food.

Native wheat starches Allstarch WN1 and Allstarch 1550 can be used in wet and dry pet food formulations as the source of carbohydrates, thickener, texturizer and binding agent. It can improve the texture, stability and look of wet food components, such as sauces and gravies. These types of starches are often used as a binder for some specific pet food products.

Here are the properties Allstarch WN1 and Allstarch 1550 provide:

  • improving the texture, stability and look of wet pet foods
  • binding the final product
  • granulation of pet food
  • suitable for extrusion
  • improving the stability of granules and pellets
  • cost-efficient component of wet and dry pet food formulas
  • low viscosity thickener

Allstarch CWS (cold water swelling) wheat starches are used in wet and dry pet food production. They can improve the texture, stability and look of wet food components, such as sauces and gravies. In granulated pet food production, CWS wheat starches improve the granulation process and extend the life of equipment’s working surfaces due to lubricating properties. They are also an easily digestible carbohydrate source.

Here are the properties of CWS wheat starches in pet food:

  • easily digestible source of carbohydrates
  • improving the texture, stability and look of wet pet foods
  • acting as a granulating agent
  • suitable for extrusion and cold pressing process
  • improving granulation process
  • increasing stability of granules and pellets
  • reducing dust formation
  • cost-efficient component of wet and dry pet food formulas

Modified wheat starch Allstarch OT10 OT10 has high strength of the gel with barrier-forming properties. It suits well as a binding agent with the high binding ability for extrusion products. Allstarch OT10 improves chewing qualities and stability of granules and pellets.

Here are the advantages of adding Allstarch OT10 to pet food recipes:

  • granulation of feeds
  • high binding ability
  • suitable for extrusion
  • improving granulation process
  • increasing stability of granules and pellets
  • improves chewing qualities
  • reducing dust formation

Allstarch vital wheat gluten is a natural protein derived from wheat. It has a high biological value and a characteristic distribution of amino acids. Thereby wheat gluten is a well-balanced component of dry and wet pet food with an amino acid profile that is complementary to meat protein profiles. It is easily digestible in the small intestine, so the delivery of undigested proteins into the large bowel is minimal. It reduces fecal odor and flatulence, prevents toxic effects on the mucosa of the colon and helps to lubricate the passage of food. These features make wheat gluten suitable even for some veterinary-exclusive diets. At the same time, wheat gluten is an economic component with good storage stability.

Here are the properties of Allstarch vital wheat gluten:

  • crude protein content of 80%
  • excellent protein source complimentary to meat proteins profiles
  • high digestibility in the small intestine reduces fecal odor and flatulence
  • suitable for veterinary-exclusive diets
  • can act as a pellet binder
  • GMO-free
  • available all year round
  • storage stable
  • cost-efficiency for wet and dry pet food formulas
