US Patent:

43661750, Dec 28, 1982

Filed:

Jul 25, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/172216

Inventors:

Bruce W. Brown - Medina TX
Virgil E. Copple - New Braunfels TX
Carroll K. Wilson - El Paso TX

International Classification:

A23K 110

US Classification:

426 92

Abstract:

A dried cereal based pet food composed of farinaceous and proteinaceous materials encapsulated within a glazed coating composed of liver and farinaceous material, the combination of which has a synergistic effect that excites the taste buds of the pet more than either of the highly palatable ingredients taken separately. In a preferred form, the matrix of farinaceous and proteinaceous material is formed to provide a core of desired shape and baked to less than 18% moisture by weight. While the shaped matrix is extremely hot, i. e. , having an internal temperature in excess of 200. degree. F. , it is immersed in a meaty coating of farinaceous material and liver having a lower temperature. A portion of the coating material is thereafter trapped within the core by a second baking that forms a hard crust of glazed, dried meaty substance on the exterior to encapsulate the matrix. In a further preferred embodiment the core is formed of uncooked farinaceous material combined with finely divided flakes of uncooked meat or meat by-product.

Abstract:

A dried cereal based pet food composed of farinaceous and proteinaceous materials encapsulated within a glazed coating composed of liver and farinaceous material, the combination of which has a synergistic effect that excites the taste buds of the pet more than either of the highly palatable ingredients taken separately. In a preferred form, the matrix of farinaceous and proteinaceous material is formed to provide a core of desired shape and baked to less than 18% moisture by weight. While the shaped matrix is extremely hot, i. e. having an internal temperature in excess of 200. degree. F. , it is immersed in a meaty coating of farinaceous material and liver having a lower temperature, causing a sudden drop in temperature which creates a partial vacuum in the inner core of the shaped matrix, drawing the aroma and flavor of the coating material into the matrix, which is then trapped within the core by a second baking that forms a hard crust of glazed, dried meaty substance on the exterior to encapsulate the matrix. In a further preferred embodiment the core is formed of uncooked farinaceous material combined with finely divided flakes of uncooked meat or meat by-product.
