Collagen casing is a type of edible casing made from animal-derived collagen, typically from  cow skin and bones. Here are some key facts about collagen casings:

Characteristics

  • Edible: Collagen casings are edible and can be consumed along with the filled product.
  • Strong and flexible: Collagen casings are strong, yet flexible, making them suitable for various applications.
  • Permeable: Collagen casings are permeable, allowing for moisture and smoke to penetrate, which enhances flavor and texture.

Applications

  • Sausages: Collagen casings are widely used for making sausages, such as frankfurters, wieners, and breakfast links.
  • Deli meats: Collagen casings are used for deli meats like salami, ham, and pepperoni.
  • Smoked meats: Collagen casings are suitable for smoked meats, as they allow for smoke penetration.

Benefits

  • Improved texture: Collagen casings help maintain the texture and shape of the filled product.
  • Enhanced flavor: Collagen casings allow for flavor penetration, enhancing the overall taste experience.
  • Increased yield: Collagen casings can help reduce waste and increase yield, as they are less prone to tearing.

Types

  • Cellulose collagen casings: A combination of cellulose and collagen, offering improved strength and flexibility.
  • Fibrous collagen casings: Made from collagen fibers, these casings are strong and permeable.

Collagen casings are a popular choice in the meat processing industry due to their versatility, strength, and ability to enhance flavor and texture.
