Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular food wrapping made of an absorbent material that is imbibed with colorants and/or flavorings which can be transferred to a food item placed in the wrapping. The inventive food wrapping consists of a textile envelope, preferably comprising a longitudinal seam. Also disclosed are a method for producing said wrapping and the use thereof.

Abstract: A packing wrapper filling device includes a filling machine (1) having at least one pivotable filling tube (11) on rotary plate (10). A gathered packing wrapper (14) is fitted onto the filling tube. The invention includes a closing mechanism (2) and store (3) for gathered packing wrappers. The closing mechanism (2) closes both sides of filled wrapper sections. Control device (22) interconnects filling machine (1), closing mechanism (2), store (3), and rocking arms (16). The lateral wall(s) of store (3) include a longitudinal flap (16) in the lower section, pivotable by rotary articulation (20) via rocking arms (15). The control device (22) controls individual envelope (14) removal from store (3). Transport devices (5, 6, 7, and 8) and deflection rollers (9) arranged along feed belt (4) transport envelope (14) along the feed belt (4) from store (3) to filling tube (11 or 12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular, single or multi-layered polyamide and/or copolyamide-based food casing and/or including a polyamide and/or copolyamide-based inner layer. The water-vapour permeability of the casing is less than 30 g/m2 d. The surface tension of the inner side is greater than 28 dyne/cm2, preferably 35-45 dyne/cm2. The inside of the casing is impregnated with liquid smoke without the addition of a browning agent and the liquid smoke is practically totally absorbed by the casing. The casing is particularly useful as synthetic sausage skin, particularly for browing, cooking or roasting.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular double food casing. It comprises an outer barrier casing and an inner casing having at least one coloring, aroma substance and/or flavoring which is transferred to the food. It further relates to a shirred stick made of two successive segments, the first segment consisting of the shirred barrier casing and the second consisting of the shirred inner casing and the deshirred, or non-shirred, start of the second casing being passed through the cavity of the first segment and fixed to the start of the barrier casing.

Abstract: A description is given of a single-layer or multilayer food casing made of a thermoplastic mixture which comprises at least one aliphatic polyamide and/or copolyamide, at least one inorganic and/or organic filler and if appropriate at least one aliphatic and/or partially aromatic copolyamide having glycol units and/or polyglycol units. The casing has a maximum surface roughness Rmax, determined in accordance with DIN 4768, of 3 to 60 ?m, and a water vapor permeability at a mean thickness of 100 ?m, determined as specified in DIN 53122, of less than 50 g/m2.d. It thus has a particularly matte, rough, and very natural surface structure. The casing is produced by extrusion using an annular die and subsequent film blowing or biaxial stretch orientation. It is suitable as an artificial sausage casing, especially for scalded-emulsion sausage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single- or multilayer shirred stick packaging casing in the form of a shirred stick based on synthetic or natural polymers which has a high shirring density of up to 1:500 at a length of the shirred stick of from 10 to 200 cm, and to a process for producing the packaging casing.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a shirred concertina formed from a seamless, tubular foodstuff casing that is tied-off at one end, and has an outer surface provided with a coating or impregnation including a food additive. The tied-off end of the present casing is turned back inwardly, into the hollow cavity formed by the concertina. Concertinas of the present invention are particularly adapted for use with automatic sausage filling, portioning, and clipping machines.
