  • EDIBLE PET PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20180263260
    Abstract: A pet product comprising one or more natural colorants, and including or processed using one or more supercritical fluids is provided. The use of supercritical fluid not only can render the pet product with a more porous structure, it also can enhance the color provided by the natural colorants so that lesser amounts of colorants can be used while still providing a desired hue, shade or brightness.

  • METHODS OF MAKING AERATED INJECTION MOLDED PET CHEWS
    Publication number: 20180220679
    Abstract: Methods of making aerated pet treats and chews using one or more supercritical fluids are provided. The methods result in aerated pet treats and chews that have a lower density and increased oral care properties in comparison to treats of the same or similar composition that have not been processed using supercritical fluids.
