IOI Loders Croklaan Partners on Highly Stable Palm Oil for Pet Food
31 Mar 2014 --- HORN Animal Wellness, one of North America’s leading distributors of specialty animal ingredients, and IOI Loders Croklaan (Loders), a global leader in the supply of specialty oils and fats, are pleased to announce the introduction of a new generation of high-stability palm oil.
This new palm oil product will serve the pet food kibble industry by addressing the shortcomings of conventional canola oil currently available in the market. HORN Animal Wellness is marketing these products in the U.S. in collaboration with IOI Loders Croklaan under the CoteRite 100 trade name.
HORN Animal Wellness is working with selected customers to qualify this product for various leading - edge applications where long-term stability and palatability are critical. Jane Petrolino, vice president, HORN Animal Wellness, said, “We are very excited to present the results of our partnership with IOI Loders Croklaan in the form of a new, stable option for kibble coating. Cote Rite 100 is equal in palatability to chicken fat and five times more palatable than canola oil. Cote Rite 100 has an added benefit of the product being fluid and providing longer shelf life to the final product.”
Tim Surin, director of sales and marketing for IOI Loders Croklaan, said, “We are pleased to collaborate with HORN Animal Wellness on this enhanced product. The natural structure of CoteRite 100 makes it an ideal solution to extend shelf life. With a significantly higher level of saturated fatty acids, CoteRite 100 is less likely to go rancid.”
CoteRite 100 is a trans fat-free, non-hydrogenated oil derived from palm oil that can be blended with or without additives to enhance your pet food application. Designed to contain low solids at room temperature, CoteRite 100 is an ideal solution for coating applications where fluidity and longer shelf life are required.
