Abstract
The invention relates to a seamless, tubular sausage casing based on cellulose hydrate having a continuous coating made of a polymeric material on its outer surface, which is permeable to hot smoke and cold smoke. The coating preferably has a thickness of from 3 to 10 μm and can also comprise or consist of a plurality of individual layers. The coating can be applied by conventional coating processes, and in addition also by single or repeated whole-surface printing. The casing is adapted especially for smoked liver sausage.
Claims16
A seamless, tubular sausage casing based on cellulose hydrate, said casing having a continuous polymeric coating on an outer surface thereof, wherein the thickness of the coating is from 3 to 10 μm, and the casing is permeable to hot smoke and cold smoke, wherein the water vapor permeability of said casing at 23° C. and 85% RH is from 800 to 1200 g/m2 d, the permeation at 40 bar of said casing is from 95 to 100 l/m2 d and the oxygen permeability of said casing is from 150 to 170 cm3/m2 d bar at 23° C. and 85% RH and from 8 to 12 cm3/m2d bar at 23° C. and 53% RH.
