  • Patent number: 8357411
    Abstract: A multi-perforated collagen film is provided on rolls or in the form of sheets for use as a food wrapping. The perforations and made by laser of substantially circular shape with an average ellipticity of less than 0.17 and the holes are spaced with respect to their nearest neighbors by 3 to 14 mm, thus allowing the escape of air or steam trapped between the film and the food wrapped in the film. The film still has sufficient mechanical strength and extensibility to be able to stand the food processing steps in the manufacture of cooked ham or in comparable operations under industrial conditions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2013

  • Publication number: 20040028780
    Abstract: Removable edible label based on collagen for labelling food products, the label being free of any adhesive layer, being able to stick to the food product throughout the slaughter process until packaging and being able to be removed intact from the food product whenever desired, said label has a swelling rate in water between 120% and 450% and a pH value between 5,5 and 10,0. The present invention relates to removable edible labels based on collagen for labelling food products, to edible films based on collagen, to a process for preparing an edible film based on collagen from a collagen gel and to a process for preparing removable edible labels based on collagen from edible films.
