The main functions of carrageenan in pet food include increasing food viscosity, improving palatability, and enhancing food texture and taste. Specifically, carrageenan can be used as a thickener, gelling agent, suspending agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer, changing the appearance and taste of food by increasing its viscosity or forming gels.
In wet pet food, such as canned food and cat treats, carrageenan can make the food thicker, improving palatability and making it more appealing to pets.
In addition, carrageenan also has the following characteristics:
Thickening properties: It can make pet food fuller and prevent spoilage during transportation and storage.
Synergistic effects: It has synergistic effects with other thickeners and can give dairy products diverse forms and properties.
Nutritional value: It helps probiotics grow and reproduce better in pets, improving their digestion and absorption.
