Abstract

Novel film compositions are described for use in the processing of meat products, particularly as sausage casings and wrappers for hams and other cured meat products. By combining gelatin and other hydrocolloid film forming polymer materials, edible film compositions are achieved by solution casting which exhibit superior and desirable properties for adhering to the meat product and presenting a shining, appealing surface.
