Claims25
A tubular food casing consisting of (i) textile material, (ii) dyes, aroma substances and/or flavorings and, optionally, (iii) at least one outer coating,
- wherein said textile material can absorb said dyes, aroma substances and/or flavorings, and said dye, aroma substances and/or flavorings can then be transferred to a food situated in the casing, and the textile material has a weight per unit area of 50 to 150 g/m2.
A tubular food casing comprising textile material formed from fibers, said textile material ensuring the mechanical stability of said casing and further absorbing dyes, aroma substances and/or flavorings, wherein said dye, aroma substances and/or flavorings can then be transferred to a food situated in the casing and the textile material has a weight per unit area of 50 to 150 g/m2,
- said food casing comprising an outer coating that essentially only fills the interstitial spaces between the fibers,
- wherein said casing can be completely removed from the food without delamination, said food casing (i) forming a single layer, (ii) said textile material having a textile structure selected from woven, knitted, laid-scrim, batt or spunbonded, and (iii) said casing further comprising said coating applied in an amount to allow said textile structure to be recognized within the coated casing.
A shirrable tubular food casing consisting of (i) textile material providing mechanical stability to said casing, (ii) an impregnation comprising dyes, aroma substances and/or flavorings and, optionally, (iii) barrier consisting of at least one outer barrier coating formed from an acrylic resin and/or a polyvinylidene chloride resin,
- wherein said textile material can absorb said dyes, aroma substances and/or flavorings, and said dye, aroma substances and/or flavorings can then be transferred to a food situated in the casing.
