Revolutionizing Pet Food with Meatybind
Functional proteins are reshaping the pet food industry by replacing synthetic or nutritionally worthless ingredients like carrageenan. They add value far beyond thickening—they bring texture, stability, and digestibility, naturally.
- Natural thickening & binding properties
- Improves texture and stability of wet foods
- Enhances nutritional content
Honkajoki’s functional proteins are derived from pure, traceable raw materials and meet the highest hygiene and safety standards—perfect for brands focused on health-conscious pet owners.
A Natural Step Ahead with Hydropro
Our enzymatically hydrolyzed poultry proteins are broken down into highly digestible peptides and amino acids, delivering targeted nutrition and superior absorption.
- High bioavailability
- Gentle on sensitive stomachs
- Rich, natural umami flavor boosts palatability
- Ideal for hypoallergenic and life-stage diets
Whether you’re formulating for cats, seniors, puppies, or pets with sensitivities, our hydrolysates offer a clean-label solution without compromising performance.
