Abstract

See full text

The object of the invention is to improve the palatability of soy-containing dog foods. It is difficult to make foods which are both low in cost and palatable to dogs. Soybeans provide a range of economical proteinaceous materials and are widely used in dog foods. When made under normal processing conditions, these soy-containing dog foods are less palatable than is desired. The present invention improves these foods by selectively treating the soybean proteinaceous material to improve its contribution to the overall palatability of the dog food, thereby improving the overall product palatability. According to a preferred aspect of the invention, soybeans are selectively treated by roasting followed by quenching with a fat, such as soybean oil, added in an amount of about 2 to 15% of the weight of the soybeans.
