Superior physical characteristics of collagen
casings over natural casings
Collagen is a naturally occurring fibrous protein that has some highly remarkable properties.
High mechanical strength, fibrous nature, and safer for consumption have attributed to the
rising popularity of these products to be used in various applications, including casings for
sausages and meat-based products. On account of the exception physical characteristics of
collagen, they have become an integral part of the sausage casings. Collagen casings are
usually derived from animal hides of beef, cattle, or pigs. During the production and
processing of sausages, they are subjected to the forces of high-speed machines, particularly
during stuffing and linking processes. It is desirable to have casings with higher mechanical
strengths to withstand such forces. Besides, the adhesion to the meat of these collagen
casings is also high and quite uniquely collagen shrinks at the same rate as that of meat while
heating where the moisture and fats melt. This property leads to superior diameter control of
the sausage.
