Snack Composition for Improving Joint Health of Companion Animal and Manufacturing method for snack using the same}

The present invention relates to a snack for improving joint health of companion animals and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a snack for improving joint health of companion animals that can improve joint health of companion animals and has excellent palatability, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Recently, the number of people raising companion animals is increasing due to various social factors along with changes in the demographic structure, such as the increase in single-person households, aging and low birth rates. The number of people who think of companion animals as family members, called 'Petfam' (a compound word of Pet + Family), is increasing, and investing in companion animals, considering them as precious as people who live with them, not simply animals raised at home. is also increasing.

As a result, the demand for companion animal food is also increasing, but there are too many types of snacks and nutritional supplements, and it is inconvenient to give snacks and nutritional supplements separately.

Among the joints of dogs, representative parts that can cause disease are the shoulder joint, elbow joint, carpus joint, knee joint, and hock joint. ), hip joint, etc., cartilage tissue may be damaged and the joint may experience symptoms of inflammation. In particular, domestic companion dogs live indoors on hard floors rather than soil, and often live in relatively narrow spaces such as apartments or villas rather than houses, so they often suffer from luxation of the patella.

Patellar dislocation is a disease in which the patella above the knee joint is dislocated. It occurs due to trauma or congenital poor shape of the joint, or when abnormalities appear in the previously healthy knee joint as you age. Patellar luxation is known to occur especially in certain small dogs such as toy poodles, Pomeranians, Yorkshire Terriers, and Maltese. In severe cases, the misaligned joints are swollen or the ligaments are ruptured and the pain is severe, so the dog shows the appearance of dragging or walking with its legs.

Patellar dislocation is a progressive disease, and surgery is usually recommended if the entire hind limb is misaligned or lame, but in fact, even if it is well corrected after surgery, there is a 5% to 10% chance of recurrence. Therefore, it is very important to prevent and manage your dog's joint health.

In the case of some functional feeds or snacks for companion animals, there was a problem of low utilization despite their high price because companion animals were reluctant to consume them due to low palatability.

Therefore, there is an increasing demand for functional pet food or snacks that can improve the dog's joint health. Accordingly, there has been a demand for a feed or snack for improving joint health of companion animals, which can improve joint health with excellent palatability, and is effective in preventing patella dislocation.

On the other hand, in the case of the bulk feed of the conventional general extruder, it can be mass-produced in a short time by the pressure injection method, but the use of raw meat, which is the main raw material, is extremely limited, and most of the nutrients are destroyed.

According to another aspect, the method for preparing a snack for improving joint health of companion animals of the present invention includes: (a) 65 to 75 parts by weight of white fish; 2.0 to 3.0 parts by weight of glucosamine; 2.0 to 3.0 parts by weight of chondroitin; MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl-Methane) 1.0 to 2.5 parts by weight; And 4.5 to 5.5 parts by weight of the sum of omega 3 and omega 6; blending and grinding step (S10); (b) putting the blended and pulverized raw materials into a vacuum pump and molding them (S20); (c) drying the molded product (S30); (d) removing the dried snack product from the net (S40); and (e) subdividing the snack product (S50).

In step (a), 0.15 to 0.25 parts by weight of maca; 0.15 to 0.25 parts by weight of milk thistle; 0.15 to 0.25 parts by weight of hemp seeds; 0.1 to 0.2 parts by weight of brewer's yeast; 0.05 to 0.15 parts by weight of turmeric; And 0.05 to 0.15 parts by weight of coconut oil; may further include (S12).

In step (a), the snack for improving joint health of companion animals may further include rice flour, potato powder, fish oil, multivitamin, collagen, and potassium sorbate (S14).

In step (a), mixing and grinding the mixture mixed in S12 and S14 may be included (S16).

The method of molding the raw material mixed in the step (b) with a vacuum pump is different from that of general injection-type puffed products, and in general, in the case of extruder puffed feed, it is pressurized and heated at 120 ° C. for more than 5 minutes in a pressurized injection method It is possible to mass-produce in a short time with the injection swelling method, but since it is a pressurized injection method, the use of raw meat, which is the main raw material, is extremely limited, and since it is an instantaneous heating and pressing method, destruction of nutrients such as vitamins, which are vulnerable to heat, is inevitable.

According to one embodiment, the step (c) can minimize nutrient destruction by drying at 75 ° C or lower (S20). Although not limited thereto, the drying may be performed using one method selected from hot air drying, microwave drying, near infrared drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying, far infrared drying, convection heating, radiation drying, and roasting drying. Characterized in that it is carried out under a temperature of 75 ℃ or less.

According to one embodiment, the step (c) is (c-1) primary drying at 45 ° C. to 55 ° C. for 40 minutes to 50 minutes; (c-2) secondary drying at 60° C. to 70° C. for 40 to 50 minutes; and (c-3) tertiary drying at 25°C to 35°C for 9 to 11 hours. By lowering the temperature from high temperature to low temperature from secondary drying to tertiary drying, deformation of snacks for improving joint health of companion animals can be prevented, and nutrients in snacks for improving joint health of companion animals are destroyed by heat during the drying process. prevented from becoming

If the temperature of the primary drying step is less than 45 ° C, it is not suitable because sufficient drying may not be achieved, and if it exceeds 55 ° C, it is not suitable because the nutritional components of the snack may be destroyed. In addition, if the time of the primary drying step is less than 40 minutes, it is difficult to achieve a sufficient low-temperature drying effect, which is undesirable, and if it exceeds 50 minutes, a number of nutrients may escape along with moisture evaporation of snacks, so it is suitable don't

When the temperature of the secondary drying step is less than 60 ° C, it takes a long drying time, which is not suitable, and when it exceeds 70 ° C, it is difficult to heat the inside and outside evenly, so it is not suitable. In addition, if the time of the secondary drying step is less than 40 minutes, the drying is not sufficient, so product quality may be deteriorated due to moisture problems when the product is applied to the finished product, and if it exceeds 50 minutes, additional drying effect There may be a problem that only energy is wasted without it.

If the temperature of the tertiary drying step is less than 25 ° C, it is not suitable because sufficient drying may not be achieved, and if it exceeds 35 ° C, it is not suitable because texture such as elasticity of snacks may be reduced. In addition, if the time of the tertiary drying step is less than 9 hours, drying is not sufficient and there is a risk of bacterial growth, and if it exceeds 11 hours, only the outer surface of the snack is dried or excessively dried. .

According to one embodiment, after the tertiary drying step of step (c-3), the moisture content of the snack for improving joint health of companion animals may be 22% to 32%, and 25% to 29% is in circulation. It may be suitable to minimize the propagation of microorganisms that may occur. When the moisture content of the snack for improving joint health of companion animals is less than 22%, surface hardening (case hardening) occurs, and it is dried in a very hard state, making it difficult for companion animals to consume it, If the moisture content of the snack for improving joint health of companion animals is greater than 32%, the solid content may be low, and time and cost burden may increase in drying air.

In the step (e), after cutting the snack for improving the joint health of the companion animal to a certain size, it is subdivided and individually packaged (S50). For example, snacks for improving joint health of companion animals can be cut into a certain size by continuously passing them between blades moving up and down. At this time, by adjusting the moving speed of the conveyor, the cutting length of the snack for improving joint health of companion animals can be adjusted. Although not limited thereto, cutting into 5 cm to 10 cm in size and then subdividing it can provide an optimal texture and texture to companion animals.
