AquaBind LF is a unique <strong>pro</strong>duct consisting of high-quality flour<br />
derived from golden linseed which has been carefully de-oiled<br />
and finely ground. No enzymes, micro-organisms, solvents,<br />
carriers, <strong>pro</strong>cessing aids or bleaching are used. This makes the<br />
ingredient completely natural and sustainable, as it derives from<br />
side streams of food <strong>pro</strong>duction, giving further value to <strong>pro</strong>ducts<br />
which would otherwise be wasted. See page 10.<br />
Pet food should be dried in a gentle and energy-saving way using<br />
a drying method that has been used successfully in the human<br />
food industry for many years. Benefits for the user include the<br />
retention of flavors, valuable vitamins and other ingredients as<br />
well as an appealing appearance. Government subsidies are<br />
meanwhile available in support of this low temperature heat<br />
pump assisted drying method. More details on page 18.<br />
