Abstract: A food barrier-casing for foods which, in the casing, are scalded, cooked or heated in another manner, in particular for cooked-meat or scalded-emulsion sausages, ham, cured products, fish or processed cheese. The casing includes at least one water-vapour- and/or gas-impermeable film (1), and has an absorbent internal layer (2) made of individual fibers or made of a woven fabric, knitted fabric, or a nonwoven, bonded thereto and this internal layer (2) is impregnated with dyes and/or flavourings. The external side of the barrier-casing is predominantly formed of a polyester film (1a) made of polyethylene terephthalate and this polyester film (1a) is bonded via a bonding layer (1b) to the absorbent internal layer (2).

Abstract: A method is provided for coating tubular food casings, especially intestines, with flavoring substances in particle form, especially spices, wherein the tubular casing is wetted on the inside with adhesive and the desired flavoring substances are deposited on the formed adhesive layer. Here, it is essential that the casing, wetted on the inside with adhesive (3), is brought through a particle-shaped flavoring substance supply, formed in the interior of the tube, and a gas cushion, in particular an air cushion, into a non-flat, open cross-sectional shape. The casing wetted with adhesive on its inner side carries along flavoring substances from the flavoring substance supply, when it is pulled through the flavoring substance supply. The casing at least on the inside is made from a hydrophilic plastic.

Abstract: A method for coating tubular food-casings (2), particularly skins with flavoring substances in particle form, includes wetting the casing (2) on the inside with adhesive, and then applying desired flavoring substances (6) onto the formed adhesive layer. The tubular casing (2), coated on the inside with adhesive, is guided through a first squeezing zone (5) and a second squeezing zone (8) in the travel direction, where the respective interior cross-sections of the tubular casing are temporarily closed. The second squeezing zone (8) is positioned higher than the first squeezing zone (5). The tubular casing is brought into the form of an inflated sack (2b) in between the two squeezing zones (5, 8) by a supply of particulate flavoring substances (6) and an air pocket (7) inserted into the interior of the tubular casing. During travel, the casing entrains the flavoring substances (6) from the supply.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for packaging meat products by feeding a flat plastic foil to a filling tube and thereby shaping it into a cylindrical shape that surrounds the filling tube and is sealed at the overlapping edges, whereby the meat product is filled into the foil tube via the filling tube and the tube is then sealed at the ends and detached. It is thereby essential that the flat foil for use with raw meat products is extruded from long-fibered synthetic fibers and has a water and/or steam permeability of at least 40 g/m2d and that the packed raw meat products are subsequently preserved by the removal of moisture and/or by smoking.

Abstract: A packaging wrap is provided for meat products, in particular for boiled ham or pickled products, wherein the packaging wrap is insoluble in water, suitable for a cooking process, and comprises a foil that is permeable to gas, steam and/or smoke. Against the side of the foil facing away from the meat product, a net can be placed to increase its strength. The foil comprises a thin-walled fibrous foil having a maximum area weight of about 120 g/m2 and an anti-adhesive coating on its side facing away from the meat product. The anti-adhesive coating is made of a material that is safe in accordance with food packaging regulations and prevents the meat product from binding with the packaging wrap during the cooking process. A color may be transferred to the meat by applying the color to the anti-adhesive coating via an intermediate coupling or bonding agent.

Abstract: A packaging film is provided for foodstuffs, wherein the foodstuffs are preferably meat products. The a net is connected to one side of the film to increase resistance to tearing. The net is adhered to the film by a soluble edible adhesive. The film may be shaped into a container wherein the net lies predominantly on an outer side of the container. After filling the film with the foodstuff, the adhesive is dissolved, whereupon the net can be removed without destroying the film.
