Dog Cake Recipe Shelf-Life Tips
You worked hard creating your dog cake recipe. Now make sure the finished product keeps!
"Do I need to use a mold inhibitor?"
We are frequently asked this question.
Just as the name implies, this type of product prevents the growth of mold on a food product.
Dog
bakery supply companies like K9Cakery.com will have a product
available for this very use. A mold inhibitor is a natural product and contains
sugar free potassium sorbate. Potassium sorbate stops yeast from
reproducing and taking over!
This chemical compound is used in many products besides dog treats, such
as wine, cheese, soaps and lotions, to keep mold and yeast from growing
in a moist environment. This increases increase the shelf life of
these products.
Only a small amount is needed to preserve dog
cakes and dog treats. This amount is not enough to cause toxicity. There
are groups that roam the internet trying to scare you about using anything
that is not a completely natural food substance, but this is not always
practical for 21st century business applications.

you are using a dog cake recipe to make dog cakes or dog treats that will be eaten within a few days, you will not
have to add the preservative. The baked items are not going to be
around long enough for mold to start to grow!
Dog bakeries or dog
treat businesses that plan on keeping their baked goods around for a
longer period of time are typically the ones who have concern and need to prolong the shelf-life.
Anti-oxidant
Another preservative commonly used by dog bakeries is a liquid antioxidant which prevents fat from spoiling:
This product will stabilize fats and oils and prevents spoilage in dairy products, baked products, sweets, and more.
