BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Dental stick extrusion utilizes various ingredients to form the ideal texture and quality product. Alternative ingredients to enhance or impact texture, palatability and/or plaque removal can be useful to improve dental stick manufacturing. Spray dried plasma (SDP) is a consistent high protein ingredient commonly utilized in pet food for functional texture properties, enhancing palatability, and supporting overall health.
STUDY OBJECTIVE
The study objective was to evaluate how SDP inclusion with other ingredients impacts texture of extruded dental formulas.
