Abstract: This invention relates to a process of making flat stock fibrous cellulosic food casings containing a low plasticizer level of between about 10 wt. % and about 17 wt. %, including at least about 9 wt. % polyol, both based upon the bone dry weight of cellulose in the casing, This process comprising forming a fibrous web into a tube, annularly extruding viscose onto the tube, passing the viscose coated tube through a regenerating bath, and incorporating water-soluble plasticizer into either or both the resulting cellulosic gel stock fibrous tube and the dried fibrous tube.

Abstract: A stuffing method for forming a multilayer composite casing is disclosed. In the method a continuous web tube is formed about a stuffing horn from web stock. The web tube thus formed is passed through the bore of a shirred casing and then is merged with casing drawn from the shirred casing. The merged casing and web tube are joined to provide the closed end of a multilayered composite casing for receiving foodstuff discharged into the closed end.A casing article is also disclosed which includes a shirred casing having a tubular leader extending through its bore wherein one end of the leader is attachable to a web for drawing the web through the bore of the shirred casing.

Abstract: A cellulosic food casing includes an internal coating comprising a water soluble cellulose ether and a cationic thermosetting resin.

Abstract: A process for turning a coated casing inside out comprising the steps of humidifying, if necessary, and then shirring a length of casing to produce a shirred stick. Thereafter, one end of the casing is drawn through the bore and out of the opposite end of the casing stick thereby effectively reversing the inner and outer surfaces of the casing.

Abstract: A cellulosic food casing includes an internal coating comprising a water soluble cellulose ether and a cationic thermosetting resin.

Abstract: There is provided a novel shirred and compressed tubular food casing, including a casing having a fibrous web embedded in the wall thereof, having a continuous barrier coating adhered to the surface thereof. A method for preparing said shirred casing comprises shirring a barrier coated tubular casing, said tubular casing having a moisture content of at least 10% by weight and said barrier coating exhibiting extensibility characteristics of at least about 4% at 32.degree. F.

Abstract: A tubular cellulosic sausage casing such as a tubular fibrous casing particularly suitable for use with dry sausage such as Genoa salami has a coating bonded to the interior and exterior surfaces thereof of a cured cationic thermosetting resin. A tubular cellulosic sausage casing having at least about 0.45% by weight of said cured cationic thermosetting resin bonded to the surfaces of said casing exhibits resistance to degradation by cellulolytic enzymes.
