Pet Food

Gelatine in pet food has its benefits, such as soothing the digestive system and supporting bone and joint wellbeing, but many pet 

owners are looking for a more natural ingredient list and therefore the rise of using hydrocolloids is on the rise. 

 

Hydrocolloids can be added to wet pet food to improve its functional properties, such as thickening, gelling, emulsifying, stabilisation, viscosity, and coating. Hydrocolloid blends require a lower dosage and are easier to use during the production process, allowing time and cost savings.

Most used hydrocolloids in pet foods and treats/chews:

  • Guar Gum
  • Xanthan Gum
  • Carrageenan
  • Agar Agar
  • Pectin

Pea Protein is also gaining traction as a high protein ingredient. It’s a protein concentrate extracted from peas that provides iron and many of the essential amino acids, that are both important for healthy muscles and a healthy immune system.

The humanisation of pets is a key trend nowadays,  that’s why we understand the importance of good quality ingredients in pet food.
