Precoagulation, prehydration, and pregelatinization process for pet food composition

摘要

A process for making a pet food composition involves the steps of heating a meat portion above its denaturation point and pre-hydration and pre-gelatinization of a carbohydrate source and water to form a carbohydrate portion. The meat composition and the pre-hydrated and pre-gelatinized carbohydrate portion are combined in a cooker and filled into cans to make the pet food composition.
