Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops chitosan as a natural preservative for pet food
Fresh, raw and wet foods lose quality fast as microorganisms, mould and oxidation attack their colour, smell, texture and shelf life. From Vietnamese shrimp by-products, Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops chitosan — a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin — as a preservation solution for raw, fresh and wet pet food. In VNF trials, chitosan sharply reduced microbial and mould counts and helped extend shelf life, giving pet-food makers a way to protect quality while reducing their reliance on synthetic additives.
Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops AstaPal, a natural astaxanthin for pets that helps fight oxidative stress
Stress, low activity, aging and lingering illness can all raise the rate of oxidation inside a pet’s body, letting free radicals build up and damage cells. Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) addresses this with AstaPal, a natural astaxanthin for pets extracted from shrimp — a carotenoid known for its powerful antioxidant activity. By helping neutralise free radicals and protect cell membranes, AstaPal is designed to slow oxidative damage and support the everyday vitality of dogs and cats.
