of the disclosure The tubular food casing, in particular a synthetic sausage casing for sausages of the uncooked sausage or scalded sausage type, comprises a base tube based on cellulose hydrate which is optionally fiber-reinforced. The base tube contains a protein compound which is soluble or dispersible in alkali, is hydrolysis-resistant and is crosslinked with an alkali-resistant reactive compound, preferably with an aldehyde and/or dialdehyde. The protein compound is of animal or vegetable origin, preferably gelatin, soya protein, groundnut protein or wheat protein, in particular casein. It is crosslinked, in particular, with formaldehyde, glyoxal, malonaldehyde or glutaraldehyde. The base tube is produced by the viscose process, with the protein compound being added together with the crosslinking agent to the viscose solution before coagulation. The crosslinking takes place during the subsequent drying process. |
