Nowadays, pets have become a part of many families as children, family members or friends. They are one of the pleasures of our daily life, a good way to relieve stress and cure anxiety. Because of this, the nutrition and health of pets concerns every pet owner.
How to choose a natural and healthy petfood? Here highlight a All-Nature ingredient.
During manufacturing of petfood, modern production processes will greatly reduce the flavor of the food itself. The addition of food attractants is precisely to make it easier to eat, so as to obtain the necessary nutrients.
Many pet owners are concerned about food attractants because some of them are just the chemical flavors or high salt, cannot meet the nutritional needs of dogs and cats, but show the illusion that dogs and cats love to eat, leading to a vicious circle of malnutrition. However, Alanine, as a natural and healthy ingredient, will has no such affects.
Alanine is a natural amino acid with sweet and umami taste. 
The advantages of Alanine—it’s icing on the cake for premium petfood with high meat content and good raw materials. It can not only increase palatability, inhibit sour taste of organic acids in pet food, but also participate in the metabolism in the pet body, prevent the obesity caused by excessive pet calories.
As a pet food attractant, Alanine provides a certain flavor through the Maillard reaction to enhancing the palatability of all kinds of petfood (wet and dry). Manufacturers can pre-blend Alanine with chicken liver powder (or chicken liver, animal offal) with other raw ingredients or add directly in final products. On the other hand, among all amino acids, Alanine is not easy to be oxidized (some amino acids are easy to oxidize to have a rotten smell, such as cadaverine and putrescine). Therefore, adding Alanine to pet food can effectively reduce the problem of poor palatability caused by the flavor variation of raw materials. In short, pet food with Alanine can promote appetite and ensure that pets absorb high-quality petfood with enough nutrition. Pets eat well, and owners feel ease.

As a leading global company of Alanine, AHB is committed to serving life and health in a responsible and sustainable way, providing safe, effective, and natural products to care for the healthy growth of more pets, and guarding the warm and loving daily life of pet owners and pets.
