Abstract:
Baked goods comprising a base portion and a filling or upper portion are prepared by applying the filling or upper portion dough to the base portion so that the filling or dough penetrates grooves in the dough of the base portion. The filling or upper portion is baked in place to cause the two portions to adhere and bond together. In an embodiment, a pet egg treat has the general shape of a longitudinal or transverse slice of hard-boiled egg. The yolk portion contains real egg yolk solids, while the outer egg-shaped portion contains flour, egg solids and any type of nutritious meal, including meat meal, fish meal, oat meal, or the like. Flavorings, as well as vitamins, coloring agents, and minerals can be included. The treat is hard and helps to clean pets' teeth and gums, and provides chewing exercise for pets. The treat preferably has a round- or oval-shaped base portion having a light coloring to simulate the egg white portion of a hard-boiled egg, with the filling simulating the color and shape of the yolk, so that the product has the appearance of a slice of a hard-boiled egg.
Cheese sauce which is shelf stable, has good mouth feel and has superior tolerance to heat. The cheese sauce includes 5 to 15 weight percent of cheese, 0. 1 to 0. 7 weight percent of lactic acid, 0. 2 to 0. 6 weight percent of a nontoxic edible alkali metal salt or a nontoxic edible alkaline earth metal salt, 0. 05 to 0. 5 weight percent of a dairy protein, 0. 5 to 5. 0 weight percent of natural cheese flavor, 4. 0 to 7. 0 weight percent of at least one starch, 0. 03 to 0. 08 weight percent of carrageen gum, 0. 2 to 0. 4 weight percent of locust bean gum and guar gum, and 70 to 85 weight percent of water. The weight ratio of the carrageen gum, locust bean gum, guar gum and starch to the water is between 0. 05 and 0. 11. The weight ratio of the carrageen gum, locust bean gum and guar gum to the starch is between 0. 03 and 0. 12. The weight ratio of the carrageen gum to the locust bean gum and guar gum is between 0. 07 and 0. 4.
A chewy, semi-plastic, non-extruded, non-porous, microbiologically-stable dog food which includes: 12 to about 30 weight percent, based upon the total weight of the dog food, of gelatin; at least one acidulant; at least one cereal starch-containing textural agent; at least one release agent; at least one taste agent; at least one sugar; salt; and added water. The dog food is in a molded form. The dog food has a pH of about 3 to 5, and has a moisture content of about 10 to about 25 weight percent, based upon the weight of the dog food. The process for preparing the dog food includes: (a) mixing the dry components and liquid components with low speed agitation and continuing the mixing until a dough is obtained; (b) forming the dough by molding or rotary molding into molded snack or biscuit; (c) conditioning the molded dough at 185. degree. to 200. degree. F. for about 7 to 8 minutes; and (d) packaging the molded dog snack or biscuit in a protective package.

Abstract:
A quick acting whole wheat bread mix for home use and a process for preparing uniform symmetrical loaves. The essentials of the whole wheat dry mix are a fine grain flour, vital gluten and a carbohydrate mixture of dextrose and sucrose in the proper porportions. The process requires a special shaping such as the lamination technique, which is also applicable to breads other than whole wheat.

Abstract:
A coated, baked canine biscuit having enhanced palatability. The edible coating includes: (a) about 20 to about 40 weight percent of at least one dextrin or at least one maltodextrin; (b) about 0. 2 to about 2 weight percent of at least one edible acidulent; (c) about 0. 1 to about 1 weight percent of at least one edible antimycotic agent; (d) about 0. 5 to about 5 weight percent of lecithin or at least one modified lecithin; (e) about 0. 3 to about 5 weight percent of at least one polysaccharide gum; (f) about 1 to about 10 weight percent of at least one flavorant; (g) about 1 to about 10 weight percent of at least one food starch or at least one modified food starch; (h) about 1 to about 10 weight percent of vegetable fat; (i) about 30 to about 70 weight percent of meat solids; and (j) about 3 to about 16 weight percent of animal fat. All of the weight percents are based on the total weight of the dried coating minus the moisture content thereof.
