Abstract:
A pet food composition comprising a meat based material comprised of meat or meat by-products, and an aqueous phase comprised of an acetyl-substituted waxy cassava inhibited starch in an amount effective to thicken said aqueous phase is provided. Also provided is a gravy for a pet food comprising an acetyl-substituted waxy cassava inhibited starch in an amount effective to thicken said composition and having a freeze/thaw stability greater than about 5 cycles as well as a method of feeding a canine or feline pet. Also provided is a gravy for a pet food comprised of a hydroxypropyl-substituted waxy cassava inhibited starch having less than about 2.5%, by weight of hydroxylpropyl substituents, in an amount effective to thicken said aqueous phase.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for making a freeze-thaw stable pet food comprising:\n a) combining a solid component and an aqueous phase\n the solid component comprising meat or meat by-products; and \n the aqueous phase comprising a dispersed starch in the amount of between 1 and 10% by weight of the total composition wherein the starch is an acetyl-substituted waxy cassava inhibited starch having a degree of bound acetyl substituents of from 0.5% to less than 1.5% by weight or a hydroxypropyl-substituted waxy cassava inhibited starch made by reacting waxy cassava starch with between 0.1% and 2% propylene oxide by weight; and \n b) sterilizing the combined solid component and aqueous phase using a retort process.
