Semi-refined carrageenan is essential for producing high-quality wet food for dogs and cats due to its ability to maintain stable textures and consistent product quality. It ensures that the food retains its firmness during production, storage, and transportation, preventing breakdowns in texture, especially under fluctuating temperatures. Unlike alternative thickeners, carrageenan offers superior stability, preventing the formation of liquid masses that can occur when other agents are used. This stability leads to fewer production delays, reduced product rejections, and a higher consistency in batch quality. Additionally, it supports clearer labeling, as it fits into the growing trend of transparency in ingredient declarations, making it a reliable choice for pet food manufacturers.
