Pet ready-to-eat food ingredients: The no-cooking feature enhances the convenience of feeding

Pre-gelatinized cassava starch, after undergoing pre-gelatinization treatment, can be directly dissolved without secondary heating and is an ideal raw material for ready-to-eat pet food. It retains the high-energy property and hypoallergenic advantage of cassava starch, which can quickly replenish energy for pets. It is especially suitable for the easily digestible dietary needs of elderly pets, young dogs and cats, or pets in the postoperative recovery period. Meanwhile, its ready-to-eat feature can simplify the processing procedure of pet food, facilitate the development of ready-to-eat pet wet food, nutritional paste and other products at room temperature, and enhance the convenience of feeding.

Pet food processing AIDS: Strengthening shaping and taste stability

In the processing of pet food, the adhesive and thickening properties of pre-gelatinized cassava starch are superior to those of ordinary cassava starch. When used as an adhesive in dry food production, it can enhance the hardness of particles, reduce the powdering rate during transportation, and prevent moisture absorption and softening after molding, thereby extending the shelf life of the product. When added as a thickener to pet cans and meat sauces, it can quickly form a uniform and stable paste-like texture, prevent the separation of water and solids, and at the same time improve the smoothness of the taste and increase the palatability for pets.

Key excipients for pet medicines and nutritional supplements

Pre-gelatinized cassava starch is more compatible in pet medicines and nutritional supplements. As a binder for tablets and granules, its solubility in cold water can reduce the heating process of excipients and protect the heat-sensitive active ingredients in the medicine from being destroyed. As a carrier of nutritional supplements, it can quickly blend with vitamins, minerals and other components to form a uniform suspension or solid dosage form, which is easy to digest and absorb, reducing the irritation to the pet's gastrointestinal tract and enhancing the safety of medication and supplements.

Pet functional snack raw materials: Suitable for diverse form development

Relying on its excellent plasticity and cold water gel-forming property, pre-gelatinized cassava starch can be used to develop various forms of functional snacks for pets. For instance, when making pet meat jelly and soft bar snacks, it can quickly solidify and take shape at room temperature, wrapping meat pieces, vegetables and other ingredients, and has a chewy and bouncy texture, which conforms to the chewing habits of pets. Meanwhile, its hypoallergenic feature can be adapted to pets with allergic constitutions, facilitating the development of grain-free and hypoallergenic series snacks and expanding the product audience.

Pet health products and complementary food bases: Easily mixed characteristics simplify nutritional combinations

The cold water solubility of pre-gelatinized cassava starch makes it an excellent base for pet health products and complementary foods. In pet nutrition pastes and probiotic preparations, it can serve as a carrier to evenly disperse active ingredients, prevent caking, and ensure the accuracy of the nutritional dosage for each sip. When parents make their own pet complementary food, adding pre-gelatinized cassava starch can quickly increase the consistency of the complementary food, easily mix it with meat, vegetable puree, etc., without additional heating, simplify the production process, and at the same time ensure balanced nutrition and digestive safety.
