Due to the popularity of plant-based ingredients, the percentage<br />
of plant <strong>pro</strong>teins in pet food formulations has increased. The<br />
most used <strong>pro</strong>ducts are traditional ingredients such as corn,<br />
gluten meal, vital wheat gluten and soy <strong>pro</strong>tein, as well as other<br />
options like rice, pea, potato and sunflower. More recently,<br />
innovative ingredients like single cell <strong>pro</strong>tein and Lemna <strong>pro</strong>tein,<br />
have started to make an appearance in pet food formulations.<br />
Take a look at our story on page 17.<br />
Thermal <strong>pro</strong>cessing is a key part of pet food manufacturing, with<br />
<strong>pro</strong>cesses including heating (pre-conditioning), cooking, drying,<br />
pasteurizing and cooling. However, the thick, viscous nature<br />
of many of the meat-based <strong>pro</strong>ducts presents challenges for<br />
handling, heating and cooling. Scraped surface heat exchangers<br />
are particularly well suited for pet food <strong>pro</strong>cessing, including<br />
heating ingredients. At the same time they can ensure gentle<br />
handling to preserve <strong>pro</strong>duce integrity and texture. See page 32.<br />
