Abstract: The invention relates to a device in the form of a 3-zone gasifier and to a method for operating such a gasifier. It is the object of the invention to provide a device which initiates a longer dwell time and enhanced performance of the gasification process, prevents process-induced clogging, displacements and congestion of the gasifier, organises an intensification of the convective heat transfer into the carbon particles, ensures stabilisation of the gasification process as well as a differentiated and higher process and temperature stability and produces a nearly tar- and dust-free raw gas.

Abstract: A process accelerating the ripening of raw sausages by incorporating a casing having a water vapor permeability of less than 600 g/m2 d at a relative humidity of less than 60%. Preferably, the process employs casings having a water vapor permeability of 50 to 400 g/m2 d, more preferably 70 to 300 g/m2 d, particularly preferably 80 to 200 g/m2 d. The process concerns, in particular, single-layered or multilayered casings made of thermoplastics, optionally also coated textile fiber skins or cellulose fiber skins.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a smoke and water-vapor-permeable food casing based on aliphatic polyamide and/or aliphatic copolyamide, which is impregnated with liquid smoke on the food-facing side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular regenerated cellulose-based food casing which is impregnated with smoke aroma. The impregnation with a light smoke aroma reduces the L* value (determined in accordance with the CIE-LAB method) of the casing by no more than 5 and is then still at least 40. The L* value of the casing removed from the food has changed by no more than ±5. The casing is used as artificial sausage casing, in particular for raw sausage, preferably for salami, hard smoked sausage and dried sausage.

Abstract: A section of a tubular foodstuff casing closed at one end with an end with a flat transverse seam, wherein the casing comprises a heat-sealable polymer material, or has a layer or a coating thereof on an inner side thereof, or wherein the casing comprises (i) uncoated or coated textile material, (ii) knitted material and/or, (iii) nonwoven, or non-fiber-reinforced or fiber-reinforced cellulose, where said flat transverse seam comprises a jointing seam comprising a sealed seam and/or a adhesive seam.
