Natural wheat-based ingredients for pet food innovation
Crespel & Deiters brand Trigea contains only non-GMO EU wheat sourced from regional agriculture. The five Trigovit® product lines add nutritional value, while improving sensory characteristics, texture and appearance.
Top taste and texture
Trigovit Starch products contain modified starch and are suitable as binding and thickening agents for wet, moist and dry feed. They also improve a snack’s flexibility or crispness.
Trigovit Mix pre-blends are starch-based too, so provide the same benefits. They are easy to process and have a positive effect on the product’s appearance, taste and texture. As ready-to-use solutions, different viscosities can be selected during processing and in the end product.
Trigovit Flour is a line of extruded, pregelatinised wheat flours with high solubility and good binding. They are suitable for puppy and kitten milk, or as a binder in snacks and cold-pressed products.
Protein performance
Protein is a key component of a balanced diet, but also has a technological function in the end product, whether it is vital, hydrolysed or textured.
Particularly gentle drying allows Trigovit Protein to retain its water-binding properties, resulting in distinct agglomeration and unique structure formation. In hydrolysed form, it can be homogeneously dissolved in water and is ideal for milk substitute products for puppies and kittens. The vital plant-based proteins can also be baked or used in pastes, dry kibbles, wet feed and snacks.
Trigovit Tex products are textured wheat proteins in various shapes and colours. They are vegan-friendly – but can also be processed with meat – and improve nutritional value, texture and stability. The extrudates can be used as fibrous components in dry kibbles, and in hydrogenated form as structuring agents for chunks and meat pieces in canned food. During production, they absorb flavours and aromas that enrich the sensory appeal.
Individual all-round solutions
Trigea’s wheat ingredients allow producers to combine functionality with profitability, while meeting customer demand for highly nutritional products from a sustainable source. The quality of all Trigovit products is extremely stable, and this ensures an end product that looks good and tastes good. The company also offers comprehensive services for R&D to provide speedy, innovative solutions that follow current consumer trends.
