Abstract
There is disclosed a new soft, moist pet food and a method for its manufacture. The pet food has a high moisture content, 25 to 50 weight percent, and contains two major nutrient ingredients which are: a protein source, such as a meat meal; and a sugar, each of which is used in an amount from 12 to about 35 weight percent on a dry weight basis. The pet food is prepared by mixing the protein source with an aqueous alkaline ingredient and the sugar to obtain a viscous, intimately admixed sol. The sol is then neutralized to a mildly acidic pH value and the resulting mixture is poured into containers in which it solidifies in a period of several hours, reaching most of its ultimate firmness in approximately 24 hours.
