What factors influence palatability?
In animals, palatability refers to the acceptance and preference for a specific feed. In other words, it is the sensory attraction that drives the animal to consume it.
Flavour: Taste and aroma (detection of flavours in the mouth, retronasal effect).
Texture: Consistency, shape and temperature of the food.
Aromas: Volatile compounds that attract or repel animals.
Colour: It may be an important factor in some species when selecting feed.
Physiological factors: Age, health status, breed and individual preferences.
Benefits of umami in animal feed
Improved appetite and feed intake.
Increased consumption of feed.
Reduced food wastage.
Improved animal health.
How does UMAMI work in animals?
Animals, like humans, have taste receptors on their tongues that detect the five basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and, of course, umami.
- The umami taste involves the activation of specific receptors in animals, which detect the presence of AMINO ACIDS and NUCLEOTIDS and indicate the presence of PROTEIN.
- In animals, umami taste receptors play a crucial role in the detection and selection of food and nutrients intake.
- Umami receptors are also found in the gut, such as those found in the taste buds.
- Umami receptors detect the presence of sugars and amino acids in the gut and regulate the hunger-satiety cycle.
Benefits for farm animals and pets
Our APSAPAL line is suitable for piglets and pets feed
Piglets
Benefits of adding palatability enhancers to the feed for piglets
Increased feed intake: Acts by immediately stimulating the umami taste receptors, thus increasing feed intake. Piglets eat more, grow faster and are healthier.
Faster transition to a new diet: Piglets adapt better to a new feed, especially at weaning, in addition to masking unpalatable tastes.
Economically efficient growth: Faster growth and better feed conversion rates, which means higher weight gains.
Pets
Motivation at feeding time is very important in pet food, benefiting health and mood.
Enthusiastic acceptance of the food.
- Greater success for your product.
- Positive perception and hedonic effect.
- High performance functional enhancers.
- Synergistic effect with other tastes for an irresistible attraction.
