Abstract:
The invention relates to a multilayer fibrous rein- forced food casing comprising a fibrous reinforced layer located between an inside layer and an outer layer; the inside layer comprising an adhesion promoter comprising one or more of protein coagulants, proteins, glyoxals, glutaraldehyde, caseins, gelatines, wet strengths resins and any mixtures thereof; and the outer layer comprising a peeling agent com- prising one or more of polyalkylene glycols and any mixtures thereof; or the inside layer comprising a peeling agent comprising one or more of polyalkylene glycols and any mixtures thereof; or the outer layer and the inside layer comprising a peeling agent com- prising one or more of polyalkylene glycols and any mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a fibre-reinforced film comprising a paper- reinforced alginate film containing polyhydric alcohol. Further, the invention is directed to a process for producing the fibre-reinforced film, and the use thereof for packaging food products, particularly meat products to be cooked and smoked.
Abstract:
The invention relates to slip resistant seamless packaging casings and more particularly to slip resistant seamless tubular food casings comprising cellulose or cellulose hydrate and having the surface modified with particles or fibres of food compatible material. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of said slip resistant tubular food casing having the surface modified with particles or fibres of food compatible material, and to the use of the obtained slip resistant seamless tubular food casing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing a composite casing shirred to a caterpillar, said process comprising steps of pulling an outer casing over the inner casing, and optionally a net between the inner and outer casings, or over the outer casing, and finally shirring the composite casing thus obtained to give a compact tube, which is cut to yield caterpillars.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a shirred food casing covered by a tubular net and to a method for applying a net to the surface of a carrier casing. This method comprises steps wherein air or an inert gas is blown into the carrier casing, the carrier casing inflated/pressurised to become round is pulled in the direction of the net towards a pleating head attached to one end of the net, which is attached, at the open end thereof, to a clamp centralised with a shirring mandrel. Thus, the carrier casing is folded into the tubular net while pulling the net inside out over itself, whereafter the carrier casing is pulled through the pleating head to the shirring machine, where the pressure of air or an inert gas blown from inside of the shirring mandrel forces the areas of the carrier casing between the meshes of the net to form bulges. Finally, the net/carrier casing combination is shirred by the shirring machine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tubular food casing comprising a carrier casing covered by a net, the shape and diameter of the net being freely adjustable. Said food casing is suitable for food products such as meat, poultry, fish, vegetable, and cheese products.
