PET FOOD COMPOSITION WITH A SOFT TEXTURE

摘要

Provided are pet food compositions having a soft texture. Also provided are methods for preparing soft textured pet food compositions in which mixtures comprising appropriate amounts of protein, fat, and carbohydrate are contacted with an amylase at a temperature to provide the desired degree of softening of the composition. The pet food compositions exhibit increased penetrating force and are substantially unchanged with respect to digestibility and stool formation as compared to pet food compositions without added amylase.
