Abstract

See full text

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved process for preparing a dog food comprising farinaceous and meaty ingredients. This invention recognizes for the first time that the palatability of dog food can be improved when at least a portion of the farinaceous ingredients are subjected to both an amylase and protease enzyme digestion and intermixing an enzymatically modified proteinaceous material to form a reaction slurry mixture. The resulting combined reaction slurry mixture can be incorporated into the dog food by coating it on the surface or admixing it with the other dog food ingredients and thereby incorporating it internally. Preferably, the combined reaction slurry is admixed with the other ingredients to form a plastic mass which is then shaped and expanded by extrusion.
