Palatability Enhancers

What Are Palatants?

Palatants are flavour-active ingredients applied to the surface of dry kibble or incorporated into wet food to improve aroma, taste, and overall palatability. They stimulate a pet's sense of smell and taste at first contact — improving first-bite acceptance and driving repeat consumption, which is a measurable commercial differentiator for pet food brands competing on pet preference panels.

Atora supplies palatants in both powder and liquid forms, covering five primary flavour bases: chicken, tuna, salmon, beef, and yeast. All products are HALAL certified, Food & Petfood grade, and sourced from Thailand.

Common Applications

  • Dry kibble surface coating — applied via drum tumbler or spray system after extrusion
  • Liquid spray coating — applied over fat-coated kibble for combined palatability effect
  • Wet and semi-moist pet food — incorporated during blending or mixing
  • Treat and functional snack formulations for cats and dogs
  • Palatability enhancement in therapeutic and veterinary diet formats
  • Taste-boosting in high-inclusion novel protein or vegetable-based formulations

Frequently Asked Questions — Palatants

What is the difference between powder and liquid palatants?
Powder palatants are typically applied via drum tumbling over dry kibble or incorporated directly into wet food or treat mixes. They are easier to store, handle, and weigh. Liquid palatants are applied by spray — often over fat-coated kibble — and deliver a more even surface distribution. The choice depends on your coating system, processing line, and target flavour intensity. Atora can advise on the most suitable form for your production setup.
How do I determine the correct inclusion rate for palatants?
Typical inclusion rates for powder palatants are 0.5–3% on dry matter basis for kibble coating, but the optimal rate depends on the flavour base, processing method, and desired palatability score. We recommend requesting a sample and conducting a palatability panel using your production trial process. The TDS includes recommended usage guidelines, and our team can provide additional technical input.
Are your palatants HALAL certified across all variants?
Yes. All palatants in the Atora portfolio — chicken, tuna, salmon, beef, and yeast, in both powder and liquid forms — are HALAL certified. Certificates are provided by recognized certification bodies and are available on request. We can confirm the certifying body and validity period for any specific product upon inquiry.
Can palatants be used in both cat and dog food formulations?
Yes, though the preferred flavour profiles differ between species. Cats generally respond strongly to fish-based (tuna, salmon) and yeast-based palatants. Dogs respond well to chicken, beef, and yeast variants. Some palatants are formulated specifically for one species, while others are dual-species. The TDS will indicate species targeting, and we can guide selection based on your product category.
What documentation can I receive before placing a commercial order?
Before any commercial commitment, we can share: TDS (Technical Data Sheet), HALAL certificate, and generic COA from a recent production batch. Batch-specific COA is provided per commercial shipment. MSDS and Country of Origin documentation are also available. All documents can be shared after a brief inquiry exchange to confirm the product and your qualification as a buyer.
