Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multilayer film, especially to a multilayer thermoplastic film, which may be used for food packaging, wherein the multilayer film according to the present invention may be provided, on its inner side, with a food additive, particularly with a flavoring and/or coloring and/or an aroma producing food additive (such as e.g. a liquid smoke), which food additive is then released and transferred onto the surface of a foodstuff encased in the multilayer film during cooking and/or processing of the foodstuff.
Abstract:
Release agent compositions for treating food netting include hydrophilic ( e.g. , acidic) and hydrophobic ( e.g. , surface active amphiphilic modifier, oil) components that both enhance the releasability of a food product from the treated netting material. The acid of the release agent composition denatures proteins along an outer surface of the food article, forming a skin of insolubilized proteins between the netting material and the remainder of the food product. This protein skin, along with the oil, if present, and a surface active amphiphilic modifier of the release agent, inhibit absorption and/or adsorption of hydrophilic food proteins from the food product into or onto the netting, which inhibits strong mechanical binding between the netting and the food product. Subsequent release of the netting from the food product is relatively easy, without damaging the food product itself. Related articles and methods are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cellulosic film (cellulose film), particularly a cellulosic food packing film, especially a detectable cellulosic film, which cellulosic film comprises detectable particles incorporated therein, as well as to the cellulosic film thus produced and to its applications and usages (i.e. its use).
Abstract:
Rigid shirred food casing articles (e.g., shirred sticks of casing material) include a cohesion-enhancing solution applied to at least one surface of the casing material. The cohesion-enhancing solution comprises at least one polysaccharide (e.g., dextrin) and a predominantly non-aqueous solvent (e.g., comprising propylene glycol). The coherency-enhancing solution comprises less than 50 wt.% water. Related methods and compositions are also disclosed
Abstract:
A novel smokable thermoplastic film, smokable by both liquid smoke and gaseous smoke, that may be produced as a film or a tube, as in a food casing. This newly disclosed film is a blend of a polyamide base, an amorphous polyvinyl alcohol and optionally, an antiblocking agent.
Abstract:
Tubular, biaxially stretched, heat shrinkable seven layer film food casings comprising inner polyamide layer and two outer polyamide or functional group modified polyolefin layers on either side of core layers of EVOH and polyethylene, having two adhesive layers, and a coextrusion process for making the film.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a plastic film (i.e. preferably a thermoplastic film), particularly a (thermo)plastic food packing film, especially a detectable (thermo)plastic film, which plastic film comprises detectable particles incorporated therein, as well as to the plastic film thus produced and to its applications and usages (i.e. its use).
