Definitions
- the present invention relates to animal chews for dogs, cats and other related animals, and more particularly, to a molded, completely digestible, nutritious animal chew, which is uniquely enriched with vitamins, minerals and/or herb additives to facilitate the delivery of such ingredients to the animal through the chewing process.
- Such additives may be incorporated within starch, casein, protein/colloids and various other polymer resins.
- BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART A variety of disclosures exist pertaining to the development of edible dog chews that are digestible, nutritious along with a texture that can be individually adjusted to suit a wide variety of a dog's preferences or needs. Attention is therefore directed to the following exemplary disclosures: U.S.
- Patent Nos. 6,180,161 Heat Modifiable Edible Dog Chew; 6,159,516 "Method of Molding Edible Starch; 6,126,978 "Edible Dog Chew”; 6,110,521 “Wheat and Casein Dog Chew with Modifiable Texture”; 6,093,441 "Heat Modifiable Peanut Dog Chew”; 6,093,427 “Vegetable Based Dog Chew”; 6,086,940 "High Starch Content Dog Chew”; 6,067,941 "Animal Chew”; 6,056,991 "Turkey and Rice Dog Chew With Modifiable Texture”; 5,941,197 "Carrot Based Dog Chew”; 5,827,565 'Process for Making an Edible Dog Chew”; 5,339,771 "Animal Chew Toy Containing Animal Meal; 5,240,720 “Dog Chew with Modifiable Texture”; 5,200,212 “Dog Chew with Modifiable Texture”.
- one object of the present invention is to provide a molded chew toy for an animal that, apart from providing edible and digestible characteristics, is enriched with vitamins/minerals and/or herbs to ensure that the animal's comprehensive and
- a vitamin and/or mineral and/or herbal enriched molded animal chew toy The vitamins, minerals and/or herbal additives are incorporated into the molded chew toy under conditions that minimize thermal degradation of such additives.
- the chew toy may be formed by combining resin, water and one or a plurality of said vitamins and/or minerals and/or herbs to form a mixture.
- the resin includes any and all resins that can be made to flow under conditions of elevated temperature and can be molded and cooled into a desired shape.
- Resins therefore include natural and/or synthetic macromolecules or polymeric type structures, including starch, casein, denatured and partially hydro lyzed collagen, thermoplastic polymers, and mixtures thereof.
- the present invention also broadly relates to an animal chew toy comprising denatured and partially hydrolyzed collagen.
- Such chew may optionally include a mixture of said denatured and partially hydrolyzed collagen with either casein, starch, vegetable matter, rawhide, peanut bits/flour, animal meal and/or any other thermoplastic resin. All of the chew toys herein may optionally include flavorings or food coloring.
- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention relates to the development of a molded resin based edible chew toy for an animal that is enriched with vitamins/minerals and/or herbs to contribute
- the resin component preferably, the resin is selected from the group consisting of starch, casein, denatured and partially hydrolyzed collagen, thermoplastic polymers and mixtures thereof.
- Thermoplastic polymers include polymers such as polyamides and polyurethanes, as well as ethylene copolymers, such as poly(ethylene acrylic acid) and poly(ethylene vinyl alcohol).
- the process makes use of melt processing techniques and comprises combining starch and water wherein the water content is in the range of 20.0 to 40.0% by weight with respect to that of said starch, introducing and heating said mixture in an extruder wherein the water content of said product upon discharge from said extruder is less than the water content of said product entering said extruder, and introducing the product to a heated injection molding machine and injection molding and cooling to form said molded article wherein the water content is at or below 20% by weight.
- the vitamins, minerals and/or herbs can be added with the starch and water prior to extrusion, or may optionally be combined with the starch at that point wherein the starch is to be introduced into the injection molding machine for molding. It is therefore worth noting that in the context of the present invention, it has been uniquely appreciated that the vitamins,
- minerals and/or herb additives herein can be injection molded in the starch/water mixture without thermal degradation of such additives which degradation may attenuate or eliminate their therapeutic effect.
- levels as low as 50 ppm would be suitable. More preferably however, at least 0.1-50% of the additives remain non-degraded, most preferably at least 75%, even more preferably at least 80-90%, and in the most preferred embodiment, over 90% of the additives are not thermally degraded by the molding process.
- the invention herein expands upon the use of water to promote melt mixing of such additives with the starch without thermal degradation during plastication (softening for use in a melt-processing operation) in either the extrusion or injection molding equipment.
- the amount of water can be readily varied as may be necessary to allow for lower melt processing temperatures to insure against additive (vitamin, mineral, herb) thermal degradation.
- the level of water upon introduction to the extruder is set at about 20-40% by weight with respect to that of the starch, which emerges from the extruder at a level of about 15-20%), at which point the extrudate is in condition for the last step of injection molding.
- the water level may be set to about 5- 20% by weight, and more preferably, 5-15%, and in a most preferred embodiment, the water level of the molded product is set to about 11-14%.
- the molded chew toy of the present invention contains one or more of those vitamins recommended for dogs by the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).
- vitamins may comprise A, C, B I2 D, E, thiamine, riboflavin, panthothenic acid, niacin, pyridoxine, folic acid and choline.
- the vitamins may comprise vitamins A, C, B 12 D, E, and K, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, panthothenic acid, folic acid, biotin and choline.
- the molded chew toy of the present invention also comprises minerals.
- the preferred minerals are calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, iodine, selenium.
- the herbs herein are preferably selected from the group consisting of St. Johns Wort, Kava Kava, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng (Asian or Siberian varieties), Echinacea and mixtures thereof.
- Herbs may also include aloe, astragalus, burdock, chaomile,
- glucosamines and/or chondroiton can be added to any of the embodiments described herein.
- the present invention contemplates several methods to selectively locate such additives at the surface of the molded product. First, such additives may be selectively concentrated at the surface by a post-molding operation wherein the additives are incorporated into a soaking
- a water solution containing the vitamins/minerals and/or herbs can be employed.
- the present invention contemplates the process of co-injection molding, which allows multiple resins to be injected into one mold to make a single chew toy.
- a starch formulation without vitamins/minerals and/or herbs may serve as the core of the chew toy and a starch formulation with said vitamins/minerals and/or herbs may serve as the outer molded surface. The thickness of either the core or surface can then be varied according to any desired level.
- the starch outer layer with additive vitamin, mineral, herb
- the outer layer formulation may comprise water levels, prior to
- mixture for the core is made to contain water levels that are lower than any level selected for the outer layer.
- one preferred example is to injection mold the outer layer at a level of between 15-20% water, whereas the inner core is injection molded at levels between 10-15%.
- the chew toy of the present invention is in the shape of a conventional dog bone, comprising a center and two end portions, those skilled in the art will recognize that dogs typically chew the end or "knuckle" portion of the bone. That being the case, the invention herein contemplates selectively concentrating the vitamins/minerals and/or herbs at the end portion to insure the most efficient delivery of
- starch and water are first combined wherein the water content is in the range of 20 to about 40%) by weight with respect to that of said starch.
- the mixture is introduced into a vented barrel extruder to form extruded beads, wherein the water content upon discharge is less than the water content of said mixture entering the extruder.
- zone 4 at or below about 375°F.
- the above temperature profile is most conveniently achieved by the use of cooling coils placed about the barrel of the injection molding machine, where such coils comprise copper cooling coils with circulating water.
- the advantage of such unique temperature profile therefore, is that thermal degradation of the starch and the nutritional additives noted herein is minimized.
- the present invention also relates to a chew comprising denatured and partially hydrolyzed collagen.
- collagen comprises the basic structural unit tropocollagen, which has a
- polypeptide chains of about the same size.
- Such chain is comprised of the amino acids glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine.
- the chain composition can depend upon on the type of collagen, i.e., whether or not it is derived from, e.g., skin or cartilage. Any type of collagen source is suitable herein.
- Denatured collagen is reference to the fact that the collagen, when subjected to extremes of temperature or acid or alkaline conditions, denatures and separates into three polypeptide chains. The polypeptide is then partially hydrolyzed to a desired molecular weight, and dried or compounded for the application herein.
- the denatured and partially hydrolyzed collagen is made available from International Protein Colloids, St. Joseph MO, and sold under the trademark COLLOID 3920.
- COLLOID 3920 is available in dry granular form, particle size 20 mesh, of amber color, pH 5.5-6.5 in solution, with a moisture content of between
- the mixture has been found to lend itself to melt processing under pressure, which includes ext ⁇ ision, injection molding and/or compression molding techniques. Accordingly, one can prepare injection molded type chew toys herein, comprising denatured and partially hydrolyzed collagen, as well as molded chew toys
