VERFAHREN ZUM HERSTELLEN EINES FUTTERMITTELS

摘要

A method of preparing an expanded pet food product is disclosed. The product may be prepared from balanced farinaceous-proteinaceous sources containing fat by reacting the nutrient materials under heat, pressure, and mechanical working in the presence of an edible fat transporting agent such as lecithin. The worked material is extruded through an orifice into a medium of lower pressure where part of the water content flashes off as steam forming an expanded product. The fat and fat transporting agents are retained in the product to produce a soft crumb texture.
