ARBOCEL®
Multifunctional Crude Fiber Concentrates
for your Petfood Products
ARBOCEL® Advantages in Petfood:
1. Satiation
ARBOCEL® is the most inert and highly swelling fiber concentrate on the market - due to this, the stretch receptors on the stomach are activated and satiation is given.
2. Less feces
Scientific trials have shown that ARBOCEL® is well able to increase digestibility and thus reduce the amount of feces by more than 20% - an amazing result your customers will not have to measure, they will see it!
3. Dental hygiene
ARBOCEL®´s fiber network stabilizes your formulation and is completely insoluble - this leads to a very smooth abrasive effect that is cleaning the teeth very gently.
4. Anti-hairball-effect
ARBOCEL®´s fine fiber network encloses the hair in its network structure and transports it our through the GI tract - here the high fibrillation grade of ARBOCEL® helps to make it very efficient.
5. Improved feces consistency
ARBOCEL® 's ability to increase the nutrient digestibility leads to less undigested nutrients in the colon - thus less problems with undesired fermentation processes. Furthermore the insoluble fiber network cares for a 'sponge effect' and helps resorption of water in the colon - thus the feces are more dry and less sticky.
Wet Petfood
- very high water and fat binding capacity
- insoluble fibers imitate meat fibrils - perfect meat like structure
- reliable prevention of syneresis and gel separation
- ARBOCEL® shows synergistic effects with emulsifiers and hydrocolloids
- ARBOCEL® is stable even in difficult pH and heat conditions
Dry Petfood
- crude fiber enrichment
- calory-free filler i.e. for diet food
- excellent healthy aspects - i.e. for dental hygiene and hairball diets
- improved stability of extrudates and pellets
- considerably less abrasion due to the improved surface structure
- prevents oil leakage
- faster and even drying process due to fibers drainage effect
- ARBOCEL® is completely pressure and temperature resistant and there is no danger of it burning or colouring under extreme extruder parameters
SemiMoist Petfood
- increase in water and fat binding capacity
- positive influence on microbiological stability (aw-value)
- rich crude fiber and calorie-free
- adds nutritional value
Snacks and Treats
- add no calories to the formulation
- less breaking in baked products
- ideal dental hygiene effects
- Multifunctional properties (i.e. stabilization of texture, anti-hairball effect)
- stabilizing effect - i.e. in fillings for coextruded products
