Abstract
Extruded therapeutic pet foods of four different
types for the management of obesity were
prepared and stored at room temperature
(30.16±1.26˚C) for 120 days. The shelf-life
quality of pet foods was assessed on every 30
days by analyzing the thiobarbituric acid value
(TBA), tyrosine value (TV), total plate count
and yeast and mould count. The high-protein
high- bre diet revealed higher TBA and TV of
2.61 mg malondialdehyde/kg and 97.46 mg/100
g, respectively, on 120th day. The pet owners’
opinion on the prepared pet food revealed that
the overall acceptability of the pet food was good
without any complaints. Thus, the prepared pet
foods packed in LDPE bags can be safely stored
up to 120 days at room temperature without any
quality deterioration.
