Abstract
In a method for the manufacture of a synthetic fiber fabric for casings of sausages and other meat products, which casings consist of 100% synthetic fibers, the synthetic fibers are woven to a fiber fabric which is then treated by alkalinization or, if the synthetic fibers consist of an alkaline-resistant material, by an acid solution thereby forming in the fabric fiber surfaces crater-like cavities which render the fabric absorptive to water and additional compounds such as flavor enhancers, smoke flavors, salts or others.

A method for the manufacture of a synthetic fiber fabric for casings of sausages and other meat products, which casings consist of 100% synthetic fibers, the method comprising the steps of weaving the synthetic fibers to a fiber fabric, surface-treating the fiber fabric by one of alkalization and, if the material of which the synthetic fibers consist is alkaline-resistant, subjecting the fabric to acid treatment thereby modifying the fiber surfaces of the fabric so as to form crater-like cavities over the whole fiber surfaces of the fabric rendering the fabric absorptive for water and other compounds including flavor enhancers, smoke flavors and salts.
