Pet food acceptability enhancer

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The palatability of animal foods is increased by incorporating therein an effective amount of a palatability improving composition prepared by reacting an aqueous mixture of a reducing sugar, animal blood, yeast and fat with lipase and protease preferably as a mixture such as pancreatic lipase at moderate, temperature and then heating the resulting mixture to an elevated temperature to more fully develop the flavor and inactivate the enzymes. This palatability improving composition is preferably incorporated into an animal food, such as a nutritionally balanced dog food, by coating it thereon in an amount effective to increase the palatability of the animal food.
