Foodstuff cover with a binding material layer which contains transmittable additives

摘要

A single- or multilayer food casing comprises a carrier based on at least one water-insoluble, thermoplastic polymer (e.g. PVC), on a polymer of animal or vegetable origin or on regenerated or precipitated cellulose, and a coating comprising a binder (e.g. casein) and at least one additive which is transferable to the filling. The additive consists of fine to coarse foods or mixtures having a mean particle size of >=60. Independent claims are included for: (1) a process for producing a food casing comprising coating a tubular or web-form carrier material with a binder, applying an additive, optionally coating the carrier-material with additional binder, and drying the coated carrier material; and (2) a method of transferring additives to foods comprising filling a food casing with food.
