Abstract

The food component transfer sheet of this invention comprises PA1 (i) a water- and heat-resistant base sheet in the form of a continuous ribbon extending in one direction, PA1 (ii) a layer of granules, powders and/or chips of a food component to be transferred as disposed repeatedly along the length of said ribbon with a ligation interval between repeats, and PA1 (iii) a glue layer made of an edible water-soluble macromolecular substance as disposed between said base sheet and said food component layer. Casings fabricated from this food component transfer sheet can be easily gathered and mechanically clipped with the same clips as used for conventional casings so that the production of ham and other food items is greatly facilitated.
