               1.   A method for producing pet food flavors comprising                 
               combining at elevated temperature ammonium sulfide, at                  
               least one reducing carbohydrate, an animal digest and                   
               optionally at least one nitrogen containing compound to                 
               form a reaction product.                                                
               14.   The method of claim 1 wherein said reaction                       
               product includes at least 3-methyl thiophene.                           
               17.   A flavorant for an animal pet food prepared by a                  
               process comprising combining at elevated temperature                    
               ammonium sulfide and at least one reducing carbohydrate                 
               and an animal digest to form a reaction product.                        
               18.   A pet food flavorant comprised of water, 3-methyl                 
               thiophene, a reducing sugar, an animal digest, and at                   
               least one compound selected from 2-ethyl furan;                         
               2,3-dihydrothiophene; methyl pyrazine;                                  
               2-furanmethanol; ethyl pyrazine; 2-ethyl-5-methyl                       
               pyrazine; 2-methyl-6-(methio)-pyrazine; 2,5-dimethyl                    
               furan; 2-methyl thiophene; methyl ethyl disulfide;                      
               2,5-dimethylpyrazine; 2-methyl-1-ethyl pyrrolidine;                     
               2-ethyl-6-methyl pyrazine;                                              
               2-[(methyldithio)methyl]-furan; pyrazine;                               
               2-(2-propenyl)-furan-, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine; dimethyl                   
               trisulfide (DMTS); 5-methyl-2- thiophenecarboxaldehyde;                 
               benzo[b]thiophene-4-ol; propanoic acid; 4-methyl
