Preparation of smoke treated, stuffed food casings

摘要

A shirred tubular cellulosic food casing suitable for imparting smoke color and flavor to food products processed therein is manufactured by treating the external surface of the casing with liquid smoke before shirring and stuffing. After shirring and stuffing, the stuffed casing is processed to form food products with smoke color and smoke flavor transferred from the external surface of the casing to the encased food products.
