Abstract: Antimicrobial film based on biopolymers, in particular cellulose and/or protein, or uncoated or coated textile material, and also an antimicrobial sponge or an antimicrobial sponge cloth based on regenerated or precipitated cellulose are provided. The film, the sponge or the sponge cloth is impregnated or coated with at least one ?-amino acid ester, the ?-amino group of which is acylated with a fatty acid, or the corresponding hydrochloride, and the ?-amino acid ester is bound covalently, optionally also ionically, to the film, the sponge or the sponge cloth. The acylated ?-amino acid ester is preferably N-lauroyl-L-arginine ethyl ester monohydrochloride (LAECl), N-lauroyl-L-arginine methyl ester monohydrochloride (LAMCl) or N-lauroyl-L-lysine ethyl ester hydrochloride (LLECl). The film is preferably in the form of a flexible tube and is provided as casing for foods, especially sausage products.

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 wet-fast nonwoven, preferably a fiber paper, which comprises fibers from a cellulose-containing material and fibers from a thermoplastic material welded firmly together at their points of intersection. The fibers from the cellulose-containing material are preferably hemp fibers while the fibers from the thermoplastic material are preferably fibers from polypropylene, polyester or polyamide. The fibers are interlinked under the action of pressure and/or heat, especially using a pair of heated calender rolls. The nonwoven or the fiber paper is especially used to reinforce food casings based on regenerated cellulose, especially in artificial cellulose hydrate-based sausage skins.

Abstract: A tubular sausage casing is disclosed that is based on cellulose and includes an interior impregnation containing at least one adhesive component and at least two separating components. The adhesive component and one of the separating components are bound to the cellulose of the casing while the second separating component is not bound. The inventive casing is used for mild or aged dry sausages, especially California-style salami.

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 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: Disclosed is a preferably tubular food casing based on cellulose hydrate, one or both sides of which is/are provided with a coating containing crosslinked collagen fibrils and an also crosslinked, high-molecular gelatin. Preferably, low-molecular organic compounds comprising two or more reactive groups are used as crosslinking agents. The inventive food casing has characteristics resembling those of a skin fiber casing and is thus particularly suitable for producing raw sausages. The disclosed casing is virtually resistant against cellulytically active enzymes of mold-ripened raw sausages as a result of the coating used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a viscose and resin-bound non-woven fabric based on cellulose fibres, which is cross-linked to a urea methoylol having a low-molecular weight and which does not react with itself, which has, preferably, a cyclic structure. The urea methylol is preferably, dimethylol-ethylene-urea, substituted, optionally, in 4- and/or 5-positions, more preferably, dimethylol-dihydroxy-ethylene-urea, a 1,3-bis-hydroxymethyl-5-(C1-C6)alkyl-tetrahydro-1H-[1,3,5]triazine-2-one, preferably, dimethylol-ethyl-triazinone, dimethylol-propylene urea, dimethylol-hydroxy-propylene urea or tetramethylol-acetylene urea. The humidity-resistant non-woven fabric can be used as a reinforcer in food casings based on regenerated or precipitated cellulose, in particular in cellulose fibre skins.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sponge cloth based on cellulose and having an internal reinforcement, obtainable by the amine oxide process. In the process, a solution of cellulose in an aqueous amine oxide is first produced, which is then mixed with at least one pore former and fibers. The mixture is spread on a conveyor belt which is then guided through a coagulating bath comprised of a diluted aqueous amine oxide solution whose temperature is high enough such that the pore former melts and is dissolved out. Remaining amine oxide is washed out. After subsequent drying the sponge cloth layer is end-itemed. Contrary to the viscose process polymer degradation does not occur in the inventive process which results in a sponge cloth having an improved mechanical stability. A plastic net can replace the fiber reinforcement. The process is especially ecological and economical.

Abstract: For production of a seamless edible cellulose tubing from underivatized cellulose, a solution of the underivatized cellulose in tertiary amine N-oxide, of additives and water, is extruded as tubing from an annular die and conducted through an air gap into a water bath. The cellulose tubing is conducted out of the water bath, cleaned by spraying with heated water and thereafter passed through at least two wash sections and a plasticizing section. After exit from the plasticizing section, the wet cellulose tubing is predried in the laid-flat state, before it is dried to its final moisture. The predryer 13 is arranged vertically or horizontally and consists of an insulated tube to which is fed air heated by a heat exchanger in an accurately metered amount and at a constant temperature of up to 130° C. The main dryer 19 is arranged horizontally and contains tangentially and radially directed air nozzles, the air jets of which keep the inflated cellulose tubing 20 suspended during the drying operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antimicrobial, tubular, single- or multilayer polymer-based foodstuff casing, premoistened so as to be ready-to-fill, which comprises, as antimicrobial constituent, an alkyl para-hydroxybenzoate having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, and/or a salt thereof, and also, if appropriate, comprises another antimicrobial agent, in particular one which reduces water activity, i.e. aw value. This casing is preferably used as sausage casing.
