<p>A tubular food casing having an exterior coating thereon, where the coating includes a mixture of a food compatible resin and inorganic particles. The particles generally have a particle size of from about 0.1 to about 25 microns. The weight ratio of resin to inorganic particles is usually from about 0.2:1 to about 4:1. A preferred inorganic particle is silica that may be colloidal silica. Preferred resins are cationic, food compatible resins. The casing preferably has a weight ratio of coating to casing of from about 0.001:1 to about 0.1:1.</p> |
