When purchasing the Tricolor Pet Treats Processing Line, you might be interested in the following questions.
The Tricolor Pet Treats Processing Line is engineered to process a wide range of raw materials—especially those that support extrusion, shape retention, color separation, and palatability. Here's a detailed breakdown:
| Type | Function |
|---|---|
| Corn starch | Main structural component |
| Wheat flour | Binding and texture |
| Potato starch | Smooth texture, gluten-free options |
| Tapioca starch | Elasticity, helps color separation |
| Type | Function |
