A shirr-stable, tubular food casing having a glued, permanently elastic longitudinal seam based on a flat fibrous textile material coated with acrylic, collagen and/or a protein derived therefrom is provided. The seam is generated using a reactive hotmelt glue. The glued seam is resistant to boiling for a long time and also exhibits sufficient stability thereafter. Exemplary textile materials include a consolidated nonwoven or spunbonded nonwoven, a woven fabric, loop-formingly knitted fabric, laid fabric, loop-drawingly knitted fabric. To form the casing, the textile material is coated in the flat state. The coated textile material is cut into strips according to the diameter of the casing to be produced and glued using a reactive hotmelt glue, such as a PUR hotmelt glue, to form the tube. The food casing is preferably used as artificial sausage casing or for wrapping cheese or fish.

Tubular food casing having glued, permanently elastic longitudinal seam

A flexible tubular food casing having a flat support material is provided which, on at least one side, has a continuous coating based on a hotmelt polymer, with the coating preferably situated on the outside. The continuous coating has a weight per unit area of 3 to 200 g/m, preferably 15 to 50 g/m. The hotmelt polymers have an MVR value in the range of about 25 to 500 cmper 10 min, measured at 190&#xb0; C. with a load of 2.16 kg. The flexible tubular food casing is suitable as a synthetic sausage casing for raw sausage, scalded-emulsion sausage or cooked-meat sausage.

Flexible tubular food casing coated with meltable, thermoplastic polymers

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.

Food casing from a coated, two-dimensional fiber structure

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.
