The invention relates to a single-layer or multilayer, flat or tubular food casing having a support based on a water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer, a polymer of animal or plant or chemical origin, or regenerated or precipitated cellulose, an adhesion layer (binder layer) firmly bound to the support and a transferable layer situated thereon. This transferable layer comprises particulate foods having a mean particle size of 60 to 800 μm, if appropriate also food additives such as food dyes and liquid smoke. In addition the invention relates to a method of producing the casing and use thereof as wrapping of meat and sausage products, fish products, cheese, baked goods and confectionery.

A food casing is described with or without flat reinforcement insert and a smoke-permeable costing, preferably of protein, cellulose or acrylic. The insert is preferably a consolidated nonwoven or spunbonded nonwoven, a woven fabric, loop-formingly knitted fabric, laid fabric or loop-drawingly knitted fabric. The flat strip is glued to form a tube using a smoke-permeable gluing medium, preferably blood, plasma, protein, or other proteins. The food casing is preferably used as artificial sausage casing or cheese casing.

A consumable spice-containing film for covering or encasing foods. The film comprises a consumable carrier film having a polymer matrix which, as a polymeric base material, contains a polymer which is water-soluble or is soluble in an ethanol-water mixture, or a mixture of at least two such polymers. The carrier film has a smooth bottom side and a top side opposite the bottom side. The top side is provided with a coating of spice particles. The predominant fraction of the spice particles adheres to the surface of the carrier film and penetrates into this only partially, but is not completely enclosed within the carrier film.

An additive delivery laminate is suitable for packaging a food product which is cooked in the package, with an additive transferring from the laminate to the food product. The additive delivery laminate has a substrate and an additive delivery layer. The additive delivery layer contains a water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer, a polymer toughening agent, and additive granules containing a colorant, flavorant, and / or odorant. The polymer toughening agent is present in a blend with the water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer. Polyisobutylene is a preferred water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer, and hydrogenated wood rosin is a preferred polymer toughening agent. The polymer toughening agent decreases the tendency of the water-insoluble thermoplastic polymer to form legs or transfer to the food product upon stripping the laminate from the food product after cooking and transfer to the additive to the food product.

The invention relates to a single- or multilayered tubular food casing, in particular for foods which are scalded, cooked or heated in other ways in the casing, preferably for cooked-meat or scalded-emulsion sausages, hams, cured products or processed cheese, wherein a composition is applied to the internal surface of the food casing, which composition comprises at least one binder that is suitable for foods and at least one functional substance which can be transferred to the food.

A multilayer film has a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises an additive, a binder, and a crosslinking agent. The additive is a flavor, fragrance, colorant, antimicrobial agent, antioxidant, chelating agent, and / or odor absorbent. The binder is a polysaccharide and / or a protein. The crosslinking agent comprises a compound with at least two carbonyl groups. The second layer comprises a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene. Each of the additive, binder, and crosslinking agent are present throughout a thickness of the first layer. Preferably, the first layer is coated onto the second layer, which is preferably a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer, e.g., polyolefin, polyamide, and / or polyester. The film is especially useful for cook-in applications, in which a food product (preferably comprising uncooked meat) is packaged in the film with the coated layer against the meat. The meat is then cooked and the additive transfers to the meat, and purge can be very low. The invention also pertains to a process for preparing a cooked food product, process for making a coated film, and articles formed from the film, such as bags and casings.
