1. A food attractant is an additive used in feed to enhance the appetite of pets.Feed attractant, also called flavoring agent, flavoring agent, appetite enhancer, is an additive added to feed to improve the palatability of feed, enhance animal appetite, increase animal feed intake, and promote the digestion, absorption and utilization of feed. The same salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar and vinegar used have no adverse effects on pets.
Flavoring agents are added to pet food to ensure the uniformity and palatability of the food taste, to ensure the quality of the pet's food, and to ensure that the pet has sufficient nutrition.
Therefore, in order for pets to eat safely, we need an additive to maintain the consistency of the food taste. Because various food ingredients are produced in different places, produced in different seasons, and processed by different processes, they will have slight taste changes in the final production of pet food, and this change will affect pets whose sense of smell and taste is far more developed than that of humans. Cause them to refuse to eat.
Therefore, after the pet food is dehydrated and expanded during the processing process, the taste of the food itself will be removed, and the flavor will be given a stable and safe taste, thereby promoting the pet's eating.
There are many types of food attractants, mainly flavors (meat, frankincense, fruity, fishy, garlic, grassy, bean flavor and other flavor types), sweeteners (single or compound sweeteners), sour flavor Ingredients (inorganic or organic edible acids), umami agents (sodium glutamate, sodium inosinate, sodium guanylate, etc.), spicy agents (garlic powder, chili powder), salty agents (table salt, carbonic acid) Sodium hydrogen) and so on.

2. The food attractant often used in the manufacturing process of pet food is grease. It is not only an important nutrient component in pets, but also can change the appearance of pet food and improve its palatability. In the processing of pet materials, grease is often sprayed after granulation to meet nutritional standards and at the same time improve the palatability of the food. Oil plays an important role in the smell of food. The type and content of fat are different, and the smell of volatilization is also different.
Another common food attractant is what we often call meaty. Studies have shown that meat flavor is produced by Maillard reaction and the degradation of lipids during heating, which are volatile components with meat flavor characteristics. Maillard reaction is the most important source of meat flavor and has a greater impact on food flavor. The so-called Maillard reaction is the reaction between carbonyl compounds (that is, sugars) and amino compounds such as amines, amino acids, peptides, proteins, etc. The flavor substances produced mainly include oxygen-containing compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, and sulfur-containing heterocycles. Compounds also
include sulfur-containing heterocyclic furans and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic pyrazines.
These substances can make pet food have a charming fragrance and have a good attractant effect, and are often used in pet food processing. Studies have shown that directly using animal protein hydrolysate as a substrate, adding reducing sugars, sulfur-containing compounds and other flavor-enhancing substances (phosphoric acid, 2-methylfuran, etc.), a meaty phagostimulant is prepared through thermal reaction. The feed intake of dog food added with liver attractant is 2.1 times the feed intake.
The third kind of attractant is a sweetener, and sweetness is also a favorite flavor of dogs.
The last kind of food attractant is our most commonly used salting agent. Dogs are heavy-tasting guys. Adding more salt to the food can also increase the dog's appetite.

3. Adding a small amount of food attractant has no effect on pets
