Hydrolysis of ribonucleic acid containing material

Abstract

Abstract DOG FOOD COMPOSITIONS WHICH EXHIBIT ENHANCES FLAVOUR AND ACCEPTABILITY WHEN FED TO DOGS CONTAIN SMALL AMOUNTS, ON THE ORDER OF 4 PARTS PER MILLION AND UP, OF A RIBONUCLESOIDE, SUCH AS ADENOSINE, A 2'',3''-RIBONUCLEOTIDE, A SUCH AS 2,3''-URIDYLIC ACID, A POLY-2'',3''-RIBONUCLEOTIDE, A CHEMICALLY HYDROLYZED RIBONUCLEIC ACID-CONTAINING MATERIAL AND/OR CERTAIN OTHER STRUCTURALLY RELATED COMPOUNDS SUCH AS URIC ACID ,URACIL, PYRIMIDINE AND PURINE, AND SALTS AND MIXTURES OF SUCH MATERIALS AND THE LIKE. ENHANCEMENT OF THE FLAVOUR AND ACCEPTABILITY OF SUCH DOG FOOD COMPOSITIONS MAY BE FURTHER IMPROVED BY INCUDING A GLUTAMIC ACID SALT, SUCH AS MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE. THE COMPOSITIONS MAY BE STABILIZED AGAINST DETERIORATIONS OF THE ENBILIZNG AGENT SUCH AS SODIUM TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE OR A SALT BILIZING AGENT SUCH AS SODIUM TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE OR A SALT OF ETHYLENEDIAMINETETRAACETIC ACID. THE FLAVOR ENHANCING MATERIALS MAY BE ADDED TO CONVENTIONAL DOG RATIONS IN AN AQUEOUS MEDIUM AT THE TIME OF FEEDING OR MAY BE SPRAYED ONTO OR OTHERWISE ADDED TO DOG RATIONS DURING PROCESSING THEREOF. RIBONUCLEIC ACID-CONTAINING MATERIALS, SUCH AS YEASTT MATERIALS, MAY BE SUBJECTED TO CHEMICAL HYDROLYSIS AT A PH ABOVE 12 AND A TEMPERATURE OF 25-55* C. FOR PERIODS OF THREE OR MORE HOURS TO PRODUCE HYDROLYZATE MATERIALS USEFUL FOR ENHANCING THE FLAVOUR AND ACCEPTABILITY OF DOG FOODS.
