Understanding Pet Food Palatants: What Are They and Why Do They Matter?
Pet owners often wonder what makes their furry companions eagerly dive into their meals. The secret lies...
A food attractant is an additive that would be used in feeds to enhance the appetite of livestock and poultry. The additives used in cat and dog food are flavouring agents rather than appetisers. Flavouring agents are extracted from fresh meat, just like salt, MSG, sugar and vinegar that we use in humans, and have no adverse effects on pets. Flavouring agents are added to pet food to ensure that the food tastes uniform and palatable, to ensure that your pet eats well and that they receive adequate nutrition. Pets do not have the same variety of taste needs as humans, but rather they need uniformity of taste, as taste is more functional than perceptual for pets, and indeed most members of the animal kingdom. Taste, like smell, is a chemical scan designed to distinguish between potentially dangerous (bitter, sour) substances and the nutrients that the body needs (salty, sweet). So in order for pets to eat with confidence, we need an additive to maintain the consistency of their grain flavour. Because of the different origins, seasons and processing of ingredients, the final taste of pet food can vary slightly, and this is a very dangerous sign for pets, whose sense of smell and taste is far more developed than that of humans, and can cause them to refuse to eat. Pet food is therefore processed by dehydration and puffing to remove the flavour of the food itself and to give it a stable, safe flavour through flavouring agents to encourage eating. This means that a cat food with more fish ingredients and a cat food with more poultry ingredients may not taste different on their own, but will depend on the flavouring agent.
