Kemin Nutrisurance launches a functional fiber for pet food in Brazil
The global ingredient manufacturer’s pet food and rendering technologies business unit has launched its first fiber ingredient, TEGRAVIA™.
In partnership with Fibervita, a food ingredient company in Brazil, Kemin Nutrisurance developed TEGRAVIA as a functional fiber for inclusion into pet food.
The product’s fiber is extracted from cassava, an edible root widely used in various recipes in Brazilian cuisine. TEGRAVIA serves as a fiber source with prebiotic and intestinal health support properties and can also benefit pet food product formulations by enhancing texture and starch gelatinization.
TEGRAVIA is currently available in Brazil, with registration plans in other countries in South America, Europe and North America.
