  • Gravy forming intermediate moisture pet food
    Patent number: 4410551
    Abstract: An intermediate moisture pet food is described which forms a gravy-like mixture upon the addition of a warm aqueous liquid. The pet food comprises a particulate mass of a proteinaceous - farinaceous mixture having a moisture content of between about 15-55% by weight which is coated with particles of a fat encapsulated gravy forming material. The fat encapsulated particles of gravy forming materials are resistant to moisture activation during storage but activate to produce a gravy-like mixture upon the addition of a warm aqueous liquid to the pet food.
