Abstract
Edible tubular casings for meats, such as sausages are described. The casings are comprised of reconstituted collagen combined with natural casing material comprising bovine, porcine or sheep gut, or combinations thereof. Methods for producing the casings by forming a gel consisting of a combination of the natural material and the reconstituted collagen are also described.
Claims14
A casing for foodstuffs comprising:
- (a) a natural gut tissue selected from the group consisting of bovine gut, porcine gut, sheep gut, or combinations thereof;
- and
- (b) edible collagen.
A method for producing a casing for foodstuffs comprising the steps of:
- (a) treating bovine corium to produce a buffered corium material;
- (b) grinding the corium material to produce a quarter grind corium;
- (c) combining the quarter grind corium with a dispersion of acid and cellulose in water;
- (d) grinding a natural gut tissue selected from the group consisting of bovine gut, porcine gut, sheep gut, and combinations thereof;
- (e) washing the natural gut tissue;
- (f) blending the washed natural gut tissue with the quarter grind corium material and acid and cellulose dispersion to produce a gel comprised of natural gut tissue and corium;
- (g) extruding the gel and treating the extruded gel to coagulate the gel and form a tubular casing.
