Ingredients Premium Pet Food Requires High-Quality Ingredients Long gone are the days when pets hovered expectantly at the dinner table, hoping to be tossed a few scraps. That’s because nowadays, loving owners are ready, willing and able to splash out on premium pet foods. As a result, the market for domestic animal nutrition is incredibly dynamic, offering huge potential and continuing to show year-on-year growth. According to the European Pet Food Industry, the average annual growth rate over the past three years was slightly below three per cent 1 . The global pet food market is expected to reach $90.32 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 5% 2 . A company that uses its technologies and expertise from the food ingredients cosmos and transfers it to the pet food world is GELITA. A well-known manufacturer of gelatin and collagen peptides, the company also produces high-quality ingredients that offer customers numerous opportunities in the production of pet food. For example, proteins can be used to improve the texture and, therefore, the taste experience, but also the digestibility of pet food. Fats, meanwhile, serve as a source of energy and collagen peptides bring added health benefits. “We offer innovative ingredients for the rapidly growing pet food market,” says Herman Sloot, Global VP Fats Proteins Minerals at GELITA. “The pet food industry’s requirements are the same as those for human nutrition. Pet-owners view their animals as members of the family. As a result, they’re paying more and more attention to the importance of a balanced diet for their pet, and looking for products that they know their cat or dog will enjoy.” The fats, proteins and minerals produced by GELITA are characterized by their high quality. The raw materials – by-products of gelatin and collagen production – are chopped, dissolved, purified and filtered in complex processes. As a result, they are available in an extremely pure form, and in line with the high purity standards required for foodstuffs. GELITA individually customizes the ingredients in terms of composition, form and quality, according to the requirements of the end product and the production process. Essential nutrients for pets Manufacturers looking to improve the nutritional profile of their pet foods will find a range of suitable ingredients within GELITA’s portfolio. GELIFAT® is a high-grade animal fat from mono-species of bovine or porcine origin. It is low in free fatty acids, has a high purity and can be stabilized with antioxidants in dry, semi-moist and wet applications. GELIMIN® is an organic calcium and phosphorous source for dry applications with an ideal calcium/phosphorous ratio of 1.3:1.0. It is 100% animal origin, low in heavy metals and available in fine powder or granulated form. And finally, for dry and semi-moist pet food there is GELIPRO® DIGEST – a highly digestible protein which is available as pure bovine or pure porcine protein. It is low in heavy metals and available with variable crude protein content. Feeding mobility Besides enhancing the nutritional profile, GELITA’s ingredients also add a health dimension to pet food. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterised by the progressive destruction of normal articular cartilage and subchondral bone, and typically causes pain and limited 16 Technology & Marketing
Ingredients mobility. Given that joint complaints are not a human-only issue, and that many pet owners will do everything they can to help their four-legged companions stay mobile and healthy, GELITA has developed an innovative ingredient for the regeneration of joint cartilage in animals. The specially optimized Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) in PETAGILE® promote joint cartilage metabolism, thus helping counteract the wear on joints caused by ageing and excess load. Oral supplementation with PETAGILE® can also contribute to the maintenance of joint health, keeping pets mobile for longer. The effects of PETAGILE® have been studied in several preclinical and clinical trials. Taken orally, it is partially absorbed as intact peptides. These Bioactive Collagen Peptides stimulate the cartilage cells (chondrocytes) to increase the production of new cartilage matrix (collagen and proteoglycans), which acts as a buffer between bones. Technical functionality Ingredients with specific technological functionality help manufacturers to facilitate pet food production processes, while safeguarding the desired texture and look of the end product. For example, GELIPRO® BIND has water-binding and emulsifying properties, assisting in the creation of stable and appealing textures in dry and wet applications. The functional protein is an edible collagen of pure porcine origin. It allows for the formation of thermo-reversible gels and acts as a kind of natural glue, binding the different components of the pet food matrix together. It also enhances kibble stability and stabilizes extrusion processes. GELITA® FLEX is another solution for enhanced process stability in pet food manufacture. These highly digestible pure bovine or pure porcine proteins also have excellent binding and emulsifying properties. Available as a powder or concentrated wet solution, GELITA® Flex supports kibble hardness and improves durability. The proteins are cold water soluble, have been shown to improve palatability in various dry and liquid pet food applications, and are also highly suitable for use in extrusion processes. For semi-moist and wet applications, GELITA® GELATIN is the gelling agent, stabilizer, binder, emulsifier and texturizer of choice. These high-quality collagen proteins facilitate extrusion processes and enhance kibble stability. Available as pure bovine or pure porcine protein, GELITA® GELATIN is ideal for clean label formulations too. “We provide the same comprehensive and valued service for our pet food ingredients customers throughout the world, as we do for those using our gelatin and collagen products for human nutrition,” concludes Herman Sloot. “This includes reliable delivery, comprehensive support during product development, and assistance with regulatory affairs and marketing. This total added-value service helps our customers to penetrate new markets and gives them a competitive edge.” Technology & Marketing References 1 Source: https://www.fediaf.org/images/ FEDIAF_Facts_and_Figures_2020.pdf 2 Source: Research and Markets, Pet Food Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030 For more information www.gelita.com Issue 4 2021 17
