Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing pet food comprising pale meat and a gravy; and a pet food obtainable thereby.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a foamed meat product, comprising the steps of: feeding a pumpable raw material containing comminuted meat or fish and strand-like connective tissue components to a dispersing apparatus with a chamber with a cylindrical rotor arranged therein, which is provided, on its circumference, with a number of cavities to create cavitation, feeding a gas to the dispersing apparatus and operating the dispersing apparatus while creating cavitation and dispersing the gas supplied, in the process of which the sinews or ligaments are passed through the chamber, and creating a foamed meat or fish product containing strand-like connective tissue components, which can be sterilised.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing an animal food product with a core and a shell at least partially covering the core, in which the core starting material includes meat and/or meat-like components, water, oil and/or fat, vitamins, minerals, salts, antioxidising agents, dyes and/or preservatives, vegetable fibres, and other ingredients. The shell starting material includes vegetable and/or animal protein, cereal, starch and/or dextrin, blood plasma, water, cereal derivative and/or sugar or sugar derivative, and vitamins, minerals, salts, antioxidising agents, dyes and/or preservatives.

Abstract: Lumpy product or chunk, which is suitable for admixing to or as the sole constituent of animal food compositions and which contains proteins, one or more water-binding components, water and salt, in which it co mprises at least one phase, where the proteins as a result of a suitable denaturing stage form a high strength able to withstand processes such as sterilization and storage for several years without significant strength losses.
