Textured wheat proteins Trigovit® Tex in pet food:
Like us humans, our pets also rely on a healthy diet. Easily-digestible protein sources are an important part of a well-balanced pet food formulation. With a protein content of up to 75%, our Trigovit® Tex textured wheat proteins represent a high-quality source of vegetable protein in animal feed. Trigovit® Tex products also have other functional properties that optimise the end-consumer product. Our Trigovit® Tex product portfolio covers a wide range of shapes and colours. Their fibrous textures optimise the sensory and optical properties of the feed, thereby ensuring an improved texture and crunchiness, in addition to providing the desired appearance. The good taste absorption makes the Trigovit® Tex textured wheat proteins versatile for the production of various types of animal feed. Thanks to the easy handling and the high process stability (also in autoclaves), the Trigovit® Tex textured wheat proteins form highly-functional products for pet food.
Trigovit® Tex – the textured wheat protein in the holistic feed concepts of healthy animal feed.

Trigovit® Tex textured wheat protein products provide a sustainable, plant-based source of protein for balanced animal feed and ensure an optimal texture of the end-consumer product. They are manufactured in an elaborate extrusion process. Trigovit® Tex can be produced in a variety of different forms and colours and can also be adapted to comply with individual requirements. The addition of water gives Trigovit® Tex a fibrous structure that resembles meat and fish and has a unique crunchiness. Trigovit® Tex is both odour- and tasteless. This makes it suitable for use in innovative end-consumer products and for attaining the desired appearance. Applications of the Trigovit® Tex textured wheat proteins:
- Dry feed (for example as a fibrous component in dry kibbles)
- Wet feed (for example, as a texture-providing solid in addition to chunks and pieces of meat))
- As solid particles in semi-moist feed applications
- As a special highlight in snack applications
- Pure vegetable protein source (up to 75 % protein content)
- Meat-like texture and unique crunchiness
- Neutral odour and taste
- Suitable as a carrier for fragrances and flavours
- Easy storage at room temperature
- Different forms possible: powder, chunks, flakes, granules
- Different colours available such as cream, brown, red
- Easy processing due to short soaking times
- High water absorption
- Increasing the protein content in feed applications
- Enrichment with plant-based proteins
- Gives the end-consumer product the desired texture
- Reproduction of the textures of many types of meat

- Optimisation of sensory properties
- Creation of fibrous or granular texture
- Preferred use after rehydration (swelling and water absorption)
Production of purely plant-based chew sticks with protein without binding agents

Plant-based chew sticks with Trigovit® Tex Granules.
The demand for alternative protein sources is increasing. Trigea offers pet food manufacturers a wheat-based alternative for manufacturing chew sticks while improving functional properties.
Trigovit® Tex is particularly suitable for cold-extruded snacks because, in addition to its authentic texture, it also has excellent binding properties that
allow it to be shaped without the addition of further binding agents.
- Purely plant-based source of protein (up to 75 % protein content)
- Reproduction of many types of meat textures
- Neutral in odour and flavour
- High water absorption
- High process stability (also in autoclaves)
- Uncomplicated storage at room temperature
