PROCESS FOR STRENGTHENING COLLAGEN CASINGS

Conventionally produced edible tubular casing is improved in its mechanical properties by being exposed to ultraviolet radiation (15) in the range of 180 nm to 420 nm. The so-treated casing is humidified (17), collapsed and wound onto a reel (18). The reel (18) of tubular casing may be transported t...

Zusammenfassung:Conventionally produced edible tubular casing is improved in its mechanical properties by being exposed to ultraviolet radiation (15) in the range of 180 nm to 420 nm. The so-treated casing is humidified (17), collapsed and wound onto a reel (18). The reel (18) of tubular casing may be transported to a point of use where it is unwound, inflated, shipped and cut into lengths as desired.
