Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing dry sausages by the successive processing steps of: A) manufacturing a half-finished product which is still to be dried and consists of a skin filled with a sausage filling, and B) drying the half-finished product for a period of more than one day, wherein the half-finished products are moved, optionally intermittently, during drying. The invention also relates to an apparatus for manufacturing dry sausages, comprising means for manufacturing half-finished products consisting of a skin filled with a sausage filling still to be dried, and a container for drying a plurality of half-finished products for dry sausages in a drying space with a frame in which at least one endless conveyor is arranged, which conveyor is provided with a plurality of product carriers and wherein the conveyor with product carriers is displaceable relative to the frame.

Abstract: Described is a coagulation solution suitable for causing coagulation of a collagen-containing casing of a co-extruded food product. This coagulation solution comprises a highly soluble inorganic salt. The pH of the coagulation solution is adjusted using a buffer solution. Also described is a method for coagulating a collagen-containing of a co-extruded food product. This method comprises the step of bringing the collagen casing into contact with a coagulation solution. The coagulation solution herein comprises a solution as described above.
