Abstract: A description is given of a tubular food casing having a fiber layer on the inside and having two or more polymer layers. The polymer layers include a first continuous polymer layer (A), with which the inner fiber layer or nonwoven-web layer is coated on the side of the tubular casing facing away from the inside, and completely covers the layer, and at least one polymer layer (B), and a monoaxially or biaxially oriented film based on polyamide and/or copolyamide. At least two of the polymer layers are joined to one another directly by a layer of adhesive. The inner fiber layer may absorb colour, smoke, aroma and/or flavour substance(s), such as liquid smoke or caramel, store these substances and transfer them to a food located within the casino. The casing is suitable as artificial sausage casing, especially for cooked-filling and scalded-emulsion sausage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a foodstuff casing having a textile supporting layer. The textile supporting layer has, on the side facing the foodstuff, an edible, however, essentially water-insoluble coating. The coating contains solid and/or liquid aromatic substances, dyestuffs and/or food flavorings and can be transferred onto foodstuff located inside the casing. An additional layer, largely or completely formed from water soluble material may be advantageously located between the transferable layer and the textile supporting material.

Abstract: A flexible tubular food casing having a flat support material is provided which, on at least one side, has a continuous coating based on a hotmelt polymer, with the coating preferably situated on the outside. The continuous coating has a weight per unit area of 3 to 200 g/m2, preferably 15 to 50 g/m2. The hotmelt polymers have an MVR value in the range of about 25 to 500 cm3 per 10 min, measured at 190° C. with a load of 2.16 kg. The flexible tubular food casing is suitable as a synthetic sausage casing for raw sausage, scalded-emulsion sausage or cooked-meat sausage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food casing from a two-dimensional fiber structure, which is coated on one or both sides with acrylic resin. The acrylic resin is combined with at least one other natural and/or synthetic polymer. The acrylic resin in the coating may be admixed with the other polymer. The latter can also form a layer of it's own. On the inside of the casing (i.e. on the side facing the food), this coating prevents gelling out, while at the outside it has a mainly permeability-increasing effect. The casing is particularly used as artificial sausage casing, especially for cooked-smoked sausages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a double-viscosed fibrous cellulose sausage casing having a pigmented outer cellulose hydrate layer and an impregnated internal cellulose hydrate layer. The impregnation of the internal cellulose hydrate layer includes a collagen hydrolysate and the outer cellulose hydrate layer includes at least one white pigment, preferably having titanium dioxide pigments. The invention further relates to a method for producing the fibrous cellulose sausage casing and also to its use as artificial sausage casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a food casing with textile backing material which has been coated with a layer of regenerated or precipitated cellulose. This casing combines the properties of a textile skin with those of a cellulose fiber skin. Besides the surface texture for which textile skins are known and prized, it also has the transparency and the barrier properties, i.e. water-vapor permeability, oxygen permeability and smoke-constituent permeability, of a cellulose fiber skin. At the same time the casing is impervious to fat. It is used preferably as an artificial sausage casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular cellulose-based food casing, the internal and/or external face of which is provided with an impregnation or coating made of blood albumin and/or a mixture of collagen fibers and collagen hydrolysate that improves cling of the casing to the food or renders the casing virtually resistant against cellulytic enzymes. The invention also relates to a method for producing such impregnated food casing and the use thereof as an artificial sausage casing.

Abstract: A food casing is described with or without flat reinforcement insert and a smoke-permeable costing, preferably of protein, cellulose or acrylic. The insert is preferably a consolidated nonwoven or spunbonded nonwoven, a woven fabric, loop-formingly knitted fabric, laid fabric or loop-drawingly knitted fabric. The flat strip is glued to form a tube using a smoke-permeable gluing medium, preferably blood, plasma, protein, or other proteins. The food casing is preferably used as artificial sausage casing or cheese casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular food casing comprising a reinforcement which is coated on one or both sides. On at least one side the coating comprises at least one film-forming protein, in particular gelatin and/or collagen. Preferably, the reinforcement is a non-woven or spun-woven fabric, a tissue, a fabric, a layered or knitted fabric, which can be permeated by the coating containing protein. The food casing is preferably used as a synthetic sausage casing or cheese casing.

An additional layer, largely or completely formed from water soluble material may be advantageously located between the transferable layer and the textile supporting material.

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.
