Potato Starch Petfood
Potato starch is one of the most used plant-based ingredients for pet food. It is an important source of energy for pets and is used in many formulas as it ensures that pet food has the right texture and structure due to its binding qualities. Alternative grains exist, however, these ingredients contain gluten. Therefore, potato starch is an excellent grain-free and gluten-free option for pet food. Potato starch is a co-product released during the slicing process of food-grade potatoes with a low carbon footprint. Plant-based pet food with a low carbon footprint perfectly meets the pet owner’s evolving requirements. Native- and extruded potato starch is available.
Tapioca Starch Petfood
Tapioca starch is extracted from the storage roots of the cassava plant. An excellent grain-free option for pet food as it is a highly digestible carbohydrate and an excellent source of energy. Tapioca Starch contains no added sugars or protein. The shape, texture and density of the kibble depend on the starch content. In wet pet food it is often used to provide a specific texture, as mouthfeel and structure help the palatability. Tapioca contains a small amount of resistant starch, which has benefits that can be compared to fiber when supporting digestive health. Finally, tapioca in pet food can be beneficial for pets experiencing allergies and sensitivities. Both native- and extruded tapioca starch are available.
Wheat protein
Vital wheat gluten is derived from wheat grain and offers a high protein, strong binding ingredient to many applications. Vital wheat gluten offers a concentrated, high protein solution that aids in the texture and nutritional content. Wheat protein (75% protein) is used in pet food, where it improves water absorption and fat-binding properties. In kibbles, it improves resistance to breaking after extrusion and during packaging. It is an excellent source of protein and contributes to nutritional labeling claims.
Sweet potato Powder / Pellets
Sweet Potato (powder and pellets) is used for the production of petfood. It is considered the most nutritious vegetable due to their high vitamin A, beta-carotene content and minerals. Sweet potatoes are a good source of natural dietary fiber, and add a healthy, sweet taste to the food.
Tapioca hard pellets
Tapioca hard pellets are an essential ingredient in grain-free pet food diets, which helps pets maintain consistent digestion. The benefit of using tapioca ingredients in pet food instead of grains is tapioca’s biochemical simplicity. Grains are complex as they contain proteins and other phytonutrients and carbohydrates. Tapioca is an ideal carbohydrate source without any proteins and will not cause immune-mediated reactions like those observed in grain-based diets. We supply pellets with three different starch contents, namely 48%, 60 % and 65%.
Vital Wheat Gluten
