Bixin containing coloring compositions and self-coloring casings, particularly tubular cellulosic food casings, coated therewith, which compositions contain a dispersion of bixin in a water-soluble and/or alchol-soluble film forming agent, preferably hydroxypropylcellulose, a polyphosphate and optionally an antioxidant.

Bixin colorant compositions

A cellulose food casing and process for making a casing of a tubular cellulosic film having an exterior tube surface and an interior tube surface where the exterior surface is coated with (a) at least one protein having an acidic isoelectric point, preferably .beta.-lactoglobulin and (b) at least one cationic thermosetting resin having epoxy groups, such as a resin which is the reaction product of (a) an epichlorohydrin and (b) at least one polyamide, polyamine, polyamine-polyamide or blends thereof, to provide a casing having improved resistance to degradation e.g by enzymes such as cellulase.

Cellulase resistant cellulose casing and process

Bixin containing coloring compositions and self-coloring casings, particularly tubular cellulosic food casings, coated therewith, which compositions contain bixin, a water-soluble film forming agent, preferably hydroxypropylcellulose, a polyphosphate and optionally an antioxidant.

Self-coloring food casing

A caramel-containing, liquid smoke impregnated, cellulosic article, e.g. casing, with the caramel uniformly distributed and immobilized, without chemical bonding, in the cellulose so as to be substantially nonextractable in water and steam and method of producing said article.

Caramel-containing cellulosic article

A caramel-containing cellulosic article, e.g. casing, with the caramel uniformly distributed and immobilized, without chemical bonding, in the cellulose so as to be substantially nonextractable in water and steam and method of producing said article by the alkali cellulose, xanthate, viscose, extrusion and acid-salt bath regeneration procedure.

Method of manufacturing a caramel-containing cellulosic article

A caramel-containing cellulosic article, e.g. casing, with the caramel uniformly distributed and immobilized, without chemical bonding, in the cellulose so as to be substantially nonextractable in water and steam and method of producing this article.
