PetXpert - April 2023: The synergistic effect of hydrocolloid blends for appealing wet pet food

Inside the ninth issue of PetXpert magazine, published in April 2023, you can find our article on the synergistic effect of hydrocolloid blends for appealing wet pet food.

To obtain a final wet pet food product with the requested characteristics it is fundamental to use technological ingredients with water binding, thickening and emulsifying properties. The best way to maximise their efficacy and find the right solution for every application is to use specific and functional blends of different single hydrocolloid ingredients. In fact, with the combination of different hydrocolloids together, it is possible to obtain a greater effect than the sum of the single hydrocolloids’ individual effects and it is easier to reach a fnal product with the requested properties.

In case you would like to avoid using e-number ingredients and rely solely on natural and sustainable product, Sevecom can offer a great solution: AquaBind LF. This is a natural and cost-efficient linseed flour, which helps to improve the viscosity and thickness of the gravy in wet pet food. Therefore, it can successfully replace xanthan and guar gum in cans, pouches and patés, as well as in wet and semi-moist treats.
