Abstract

The invention relates to a food casing from a two-dimensional fiber structure, which is coated on one or both sides with acrylic resin. The acrylic resin is combined with at least one other natural and/or synthetic polymer. The acrylic resin in the coating may be admixed with the other polymer. The latter can also form a layer of it's own. On the inside of the casing (i.e. on the side facing the food), this coating prevents gelling out, while at the outside it has a mainly permeability-increasing effect. The casing is particularly used as artificial sausage casing, especially for cooked-smoked sausages.
