1. Principle of extruded pet food
Pet food extrusion is a high-temperature, high-pressure food processing technology that gelatinizes starch and denatures protein in raw materials through the process of heating, pressurization and expansion. It also destroys harmful microorganisms and parasites and improves the hygienic quality of pet food. After extrusion treatment, the nutrients in pet food are easier to digest and absorb by pets, and at the same time, the palatability of pet food can be improved.
