Dehydrating is the oldest form of food preservation. When the water is removed from a
food the enzymes present cannot effectively contact or react with the food. The
dehydration temperature is maintained so that heat sensitive nutrients are not
inactivated or destroyed. Dehydration suspends the activity of enzymes in the
ingredients until the food is re hydrated. A unique example of the beneficial effects of
dehydration are a species of fish in Africa that survive severe droughts. They lay their
eggs in pools of water that dry up during periods that can last for several yeas. The
eggs are dehydrated by the sun, when the rains come and the pools fill, the re hydrated
eggs hatch and life begins again.

Dehydration: The Natural Nutrition Retainer
NRG Pet Products started the voyage of pet nutrition making a balanced ALL LIFE STAGES
diet that was frozen. Besides the logistics of transporting and storing frozen food, the storing of
frozen food for long periods of time results in nutrient destruction.
Dehydration is shown to be the gentlest form of food preservation and has overtime proven to
be an excellent method of stabilizing the complex nutrients in whole food.

The nutritional losses during dehydration are 3 to 5% compared to 60 to 80% loss
during canning and 40 to 60% when frozen. (United States Department of Agriculture
Research Division , Composition of Food handbook No. 8). In NRG diets , all nutrients
remain in the ingredients, eliminating the necessity of adding a premix containing
amino acids, antioxidants (natural and synthetic), vitamin, minerals, enzymes, flavours,
or other supplements such and glucosamine and condroitin sulphate.
