Abstract
A food casing having an internal surface coating of a dried aqueous emulsion including at least one polyglyceryl ester. The polyglyceryl ester in the coating covers the internal surface of the food casing in an amount of from about 200 to about 1200 mg per square meter. The polyglyceryl ester may be almost any polyglyceryl ester having from about 1 to about 4 ester groups formed with carboxylic acids having from about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms. The polyglyceryl ester may for example be selected from triglyceryltetraoleate and triglycerylmonooleate. The food casing has superior meat release characteristics in certain applications.
