SmartMoisture

An estimated 30 million metric tonnes/annum of feed is lost due to poor moisture management.

Challenges with mastering moisture in pet food include:

• Quality control: stabilising moisture throughout shelf life
• Energy costs of production
• Maintaining moisture in line with formulation
• Preventing mould formation

Adding untreated, free water to pet food can result in several complications.

SmartMoisture is an innovative technology that contains a combination of propionic acid esterified to glycerol, buffered organic acids and surfactants. Its unique element is its propionic acid esterified to glycerol.
