Abstract: The present invention provides edible food casing films, a method for producing said edible food casing films, compositions for forming said edible food casing films and the use of said edible food casing films for example as a sausage casing, which food casings are hot water and sodium salt resistant, stable at high temperatures, can be easily shined and are ready to be stuffed with foodstuff, especially by meat, cheese or fish products, but also with vegetarian or vegan foodstuff.

Abstract: A collagen hydrogel which has a 3D fibrillar structure with micropores obtainable by a process including: providing an acidic mass of native Type I collagen fibers dispersed in water in a concentration comprised between 1-15% in weight; b) neutralizing the acidic mass to adjust the pH to physiological pH; and c) applying beta radiation in a range of up to 50 KGy; wherein the acidic mass has a pH between 0.5-5; and fibers, wherein the acidic mass includes fibers, wherein at least 90% of the total mass of the fibers have a length in of 1 ?m to 2500 ?m and a fiber diameter of from 0.1 to 150 ?m measured at a pH between 1 and 2. A process for its preparation as well as its use as support for cell tissue or as scaffold of cultured meat, as well as the hydrogel for use in biomedical applications.

Abstract: A collagen ink for printing 3D structures includes a dispersion of native collagen fibers in an acid medium. The collagen ink can be obtained from a collagen-containing tissue. A method for 3-D printing includes neutralizing the collagen ink to a physiological pH, mixing the collagen ink with cells, and printing a 3D structure.

Abstract: A dry collagen powder with satiating activity can be used as a food additive or incorporated into a food product to increase its satiating power. The satiating powder can be used in dietary and/or medical treatments in humans or animals to increase satiety and reduce the feeling of hunger and, in this way, reduce food intake. The dry collagen powder is useful for combating obesity.

Abstract: The present invention provides edible tubular food casings, a method for producing said edible tubular food casings, compositions for forming said edible tubular food casings and the use of said edible tubular food casings for example as a sausage casing, which food casings are hot water and sodium salt resistant, stable at high temperatures, can be easily shined and are ready to be stuffed with foodstuff, especially by meat, cheese or fish products, but also with vegetarian or vegan foodstuff.

Abstract: The invention describes a process to produce a casing with marks and a meat product with marks. Said process starts from a casing by way of pleated tubular wrapping, where a coloring composition is impregnated on at least one sector of its surface to produce a casing with marks, which is optionally transferred to the stuffed meat product in said casing.

Abstract: The invention describes a process to produce a casing with marks and a meat product with marks. Said process starts from a casing by way of pleated tubular wrapping, where a colouring composition is impregnated on at least one sector of its surface to produce a casing with marks, which is optionally transferred to the stuffed meat product in said casing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an artificial casing for the preparation of stuffed meat products which comprises a reducing sugar, capable of providing a pleasant golden brown colour to said stuffed meat product once heat treated. Likewise, the invention relates to a process to produce said artificial casings, the meat products produced as well as the production process thereof.
