Abstract: Manufacturing a multilayer tubular fibrous reinforced food casing having a tubular fibrous web located between an inside viscose regenerated cellulose layer and an outside viscose regenerated cellulose layer includes injecting a peeling agent in an outside viscose stream, injecting an adhesion promoter in an inside viscose stream, and impregnating the tubular fibrous web with viscose by applying the inside viscose stream to an inside surface of the fibrous web and applying the outside viscose stream to an outside surface of the fibrous web.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cellulose-based food casing comprising alkenyl succinic anhydride and a method for the manufacture of said cellulose-based food casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer fibrous reinforced food casing comprising a fibrous reinforced layer located between an inside layer and an outer layer; the inside layer comprising an adhesion promoter comprising one or more of protein coagulants, proteins, glyoxals, glutaraldehyde, caseins, gelatines, wet strengths resins and any mixtures thereof; and the outer layer comprising a peeling agent comprising one or more of polyalkylene glycols and any mixtures thereof or the inside layer comprising a peeling agent comprising one or more of polyalkylene glycols and any mixtures thereof; or the outer layer and the inside layer comprising a peeling agent comprising one or more of polyalkylene glycols and any mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cellulose-based food casing comprising alkenyl succinic anhydride and a method for the manufacture of said cellulose-based food casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a composite casing shirred to a caterpillar, said process comprising steps of pulling an outer casing over the inner casing, and optionally a net between the inner and outer casings, or over the outer casing, and finally shirring the composite casing thus obtained to give a compact tube, which is cut to yield caterpillars.

Abstract: Methods for combining a tubular net with a carrier casing are disclosed. Air is blown into a carrier casing so that it is inflated to have a circular diameter. The inflated carrier casing is pulled in the direction of a tubular net toward a pleating head. The tubular net has holes and an open end of the tubular net is attached to a clamp. The inflated carrier casing is fed into the tubular net while pulling the net inside out over itself. The inflated carrier casing covered by the tubular net is pulled through the pleating head (which constricts the carrier casing) toward a shirring machine that includes the shirring mandrel. Air is blown from inside the shirring mandrel at a pressure that forces at least some areas of the carrier casing between the holes of the net to form protruding bulges, and the net/carrier casing combination is shined.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fibre-reinforced film comprising a paper-reinforced alginate film containing polyhydric alcohol. Further, the invention is directed to a process for producing the fibre-reinforced film, and the use thereof for packaging food products, particularly meat products to be cooked and smoked.

Abstract: The invention relates to slip resistant seamless packaging casings and more particularly to slip resistant seamless tubular food casings comprising cellulose or cellulose hydrate and having the surface modified with particles or fibres of food compatible material. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of said slip resistant tubular food casing having the surface modified with particles or fibres of food compatible material, and to the use of the obtained slip resistant seamless tubular food casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a shirred food casing covered by a net, and a method for combining a net with a surface of a carrier casing, said method comprising steps wherein air or an inert gas is blown into the carrier casing, the carrier casing inflated/pressurized to be round is pulled in the direction of the tubular net towards a pleating head attached to one end of the tubular net, said net being attached at the open end thereof to a clamp centralized with a shirring mandrel, the carrier casing being thus folded into the tubular net while pulling the net inside out over itself, followed by pulling the carrier casing through the pleating head to the shirring machine where the pressure of air or an inert gas blown from inside of the shirring mandrel forces the areas of the carrier casing between the meshes of the net to form bulges, and finally the net/carrier casing combination is shirred by the shirring machine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for detaching a fibrous casing from the surface of a cured processed meat product, preferably a sausage, especially when the outer surface of the fibrous casing has been provided with a substantially inextensible net with a view to form protuberances on the surface of the processed meat mixture. The device is used for blowing compressed air between the fibrous casing and the surface of the cured processed meat mixture, so that the fibrous casing is detached from the surface of the processed meat mixture and skin removal is facilitated.
