WET FOOD COMPOSITIONS HAVING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DRY FOOD COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The invention provides wet food compositions that have the characteristics of dry food compositions. The compositions contain from about 90 to about 99% of one or more meat emulsion chunks and from about 1 to about 10% of one or more binders. The compositions are made using a method that produces compositions having a moisture content greater than 45% but, surprisingly, have the characteristics of dry food compositions. The compositions have the relatively high palatability advantages of wet food compositions while having the desirable physical characteristics of dry food compositions.
