Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods of treating animal proteins and pet food products including the same. Methods include treating animal proteins with one or more base compounds to increase the pH thereof to provide for increased preservation and the reduction of spoilage of the animal protein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of treating one or more protein sources, the method comprising adding one or more base components to the protein source, wherein the treated protein sources have a histamine level of less than about 300 ppm. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the base component comprises sodium hydroxide (NaOH). 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is present at a concentration of from about 0.25 wt % to about 0.5 wt %. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more protein sources comprises animal protein, animal-derived protein, or combinations thereof. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more protein sources comprises viscera. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the treated protein sources have a histamine level of from about 10 ppm to about 200 ppm. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the treated protein sources have a pH of from about 5 to about 8. 8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the treated protein sources have a pH of from about 6 to about 7.
