“…Nevertheless, the excess of some minerals could impair animals’ health and be detrimental for the bioavailability of some trace minerals such as Fe [2,3] causing anemia, Mn [4,5] decreasing growth rate and leading to soft-tissue calcification, Cu [6,7] contributing to the development of hepatic and neurological disorders, and Zn [8,9,10] affecting skin, hair, and animals’ growth. Boron and Sr are related to Ca metabolism [11]. Molybdenum intervenes in several enzymatic reactions, an excess of Cr is related to gastroenteritis, dermatitis, kidney insufficiency, and liver damage, and Ni deficiency affects development and reproduction of the animal, as well as absorption and deposition of other minerals [12].…”

Simple SummaryMineral content in dog food is essential to ensure animals’ adequate development and health status, but its analysis is time-consuming and companies are not always equipped with the technology to perform it. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, objective, easy to manage, chemical-free, and non-destructive method that is already available in the food industry for the prediction of gross composition (e.g., moisture, protein, fat, etc.). However, this technological approach is not yet used for the prediction of minerals because there is scarce information regarding the feasibility of NIRS to predict minerals in pet food. Results of this study revealed that, among all minerals analyzed, adequate NIRS prediction models were obtained for S and K for extruded dry dog food. The development of prediction models for mineral content in dry dog food opens the possibility of on-line and at-line analyses of minerals in the products during the manufacturing process, which could help the manufacturing decision support system in the pet food industry.AbstractThe pet food industry is interested in performing fast analyses to control the nutritional quality of their products. This study assessed the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy to predict mineral content in extruded dry dog food. Mineral content in commercial dry dog food samples (n = 119) was quantified by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and reflectance spectra (850–2500 nm) captured with FOSS NIRS DS2500 spectrometer. Calibration models were built using modified partial least square regression and leave-one-out cross-validation. The best prediction models were obtained for S (coefficient of determination; R2 = 0.89), K (R2 = 0.85), and Li (R2 = 0.74), followed by P, B, and Sr (R2 = 0.72 each). Only prediction models for S and K were adequate for screening purposes. This study supports that minerals are difficult to determine with NIRS if they are not associated with organic molecules.
