All pet owners seek the same: nutritious pet foods tailored to their specific needs and well-accepted. A plus if the food fits the beliefs of today’s pet owners, such as reducing footprint by insect-based or plantforward diets. Combining these features may bring challenges to pet food manufacturers, such as selecting key ingredients which are palatable, well-rounded and fit consumer trends. On top of challenges such as availability, quality issues and volatile prices.
Whether it is a traditional or plant-based diet, manufacturers interested in a new generation of pet food should carefully select proteins. Five key nutrients must be considered when formulating pet foods: proteins, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals. Proteins contribute to the taste of the food.
So, what about the potato? Potato proteins are rich, well rounded and contain a high level of crude protein content. Our pet food potato protein product ProtaSTAR® is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids and aromatic amino acids, enriching the coat colour of pets. Thanks to its low glycoalkaloids, pets love the taste.
