Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the food industry, in particular the transformation of meat products into cured meats and in particular food casings for sausages, and relates to a vegetable casing.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing such a hose.
- tabular food envelopes commonly called food casings
- food casings are widely used for the production of a large number of meat-based food products, such as sausages and others.
- Envelopes of this type are generally formed in the form of thin-walled tubes of different diameters, depending on their end use and are either of animal origin or artificial.
- the artificial casings currently available on the market generally consist of a mixture of alginates or cellulose derivatives.
- GB-A-703 859 discloses a process for producing a food envelope based on alginates
- US-A-3 135 613 describes a process for obtaining cellulose films from paper. treated by the viscose process.
- the food film is constituted by a paper frame, which is then impregnated with an alkaline solution of viscose containing, inter alia, cellulose xanthate.
- the film obtained is then treated using an acid coagulating solution. This results in a precipitation of cellulose xanthate, soluble in alkaline solution, on contact with acid.
- a regenerated cellulose hydrate film is finally obtained by treating the film with an acid regenerating solution.
- the reinforced cellulose films thus obtained by the viscose process have, however, relatively poor mechanical properties and therefore the disadvantage of a risk of bursting, even when the internal pressures are low.
- GB-A-1 091 105 describes a process in which a starting cellulosic film contains a crosslinked synthetic resin based on polyamide.
- the film obtained after implementation of the viscose process has improved mechanical performance but, however, is insufficient for certain applications in cold cuts.
- Document US-A-5 143 584 relates to a preparation process, in which soluble alginates are added to the paper pulp before the formation of the paper sheet. The latter is then formed and dried before application of an alginate precipitating agent in its non-water-soluble form.
- the precipitation agent used consists of a dilute sulfuric acid solution and is applied as a spray to the sheet of paper.
- US-A-5,662,971 is also known from US-A-5,662,971 is a process for obtaining a food envelope based on alginates, fatty substances and cellulose, in which the food envelope is in the form of a film. intended to wrap food products.
- the combination of alginates and proteins, with the aim of forming a food envelope is also described in document WO-A-9955165.
- EP-A-0 733 306 describes the production of an artificial casing by the viscose process. This process uses a combination of "cellulose reinforcement” plus “precipitation of cellulose xanthate”.
- the food film is formed before use and the contacting of this film with the food product is a step independent of the production process of the final product.
- GB-A-500 242 describes the production of a food casing composed of plant or artificial fibers (obtained by disintegration of skins, tendons, wool or hair), the mixture of components used is provided with an addition of plasticizers to allow its extrusion into casings. Mechanical reinforcement is implemented by adding hardening agents, such as tannins.
- OA-02 15715 a process for producing a casing based on alginate, pectin or carrageenan and galactomannan. This hose is implemented by coextrusion using a gel and is formed, following the precipitation of the gel, in a fixing bath. This process uses a second polysaccharide, namely guar and carob gum, which is used to adjust the viscosity of the gel, without however allowing mechanical reinforcement of the film obtained.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a vegetable casing and a process for producing such a casing which makes it possible to obtain mechanical characteristics, namely mechanical strength, elasticity and texture, comparable to those of '' a natural animal hose.
- the vegetable casing is characterized in that it is essentially constituted by a matrix of non-water-soluble alginates reinforced with vegetable fibers or polysaccharides, in order to increase the mechanical and thermal resistance of said casing.
- the subject of the invention is also a process for producing this casing, characterized in that it essentially consists in carrying out a prior coating of a food product using a bath of a filming solution containing a water-soluble alginate and vegetable fibers or polysaccharides, and then fixing the film obtained by precipitation of the alginate in a non-water-soluble form in fixing baths.
- composition of the film forming the casing is from 5% to 95% of alginates and from 95%> to 5% of vegetable fibers or polysaccharides and, preferably, from 30% to 70% of alginates and from 70% to 30 % of vegetable fibers or polysaccharides.
- Alginic acids are plant polysaccharides containing many carboxyl groups and alginates are conjugated salts of these alginic acids.
- Alginates are generally extracted from brown algae and have a chemical structure close to that of cellulose. They consist of long linear chains, largely substituted by carboxyl groups. The latter make it possible to easily fix water molecules by hydrogen bonding and are at the origin of the extremely hydrophilic character of alginic acids and alginates.
- the alginates used are water-soluble in aqueous suspensions of plant fibers and precipitate following the action of a fixing bath.
- the fixing baths used advantageously consist of calcium salts causing the precipitation of the non-water-soluble calcium alginate and / or by acid baths causing the precipitation of the non-water-soluble alginic acid.
- the initial solution of water-soluble alginate and of fibers contains 0.05% to 50% of alginate and from 0% to 80% of vegetable fibers.
- the food film forming the casing is flavored and / or colored by adding flavors and / or colorings to the coating or fixing solution.
- the flavoring of the food film can be carried out with aromas or smoke extracts.
- the coloring of the food film can be carried out by Maillard reactions, by conjugation of amino acids or any other amino and reducing sugars or carbonyls present in the coating or fixing solution.
- the pH of the fixing bath is advantageously between 1 and 7 and is preferably between 2 and 4.
- the pH of the fixing bath, as well as the initial alginate and fiber compositions and the chemical nature of the fixing bath or baths, have an influence on the final properties of the food film obtained.
- the following coating baths were produced: - Alginates known under the trade name FD 175 from the company DANISCO in 1.5% solution in softened water - Alginates FD 175 in 1.5% solution in softened water and cellulose fibers known under the name NITACEL F 200 from the company RETTE ⁇ MAIER in 1% solution in softened water
- All the food films obtained have a glossy transparent appearance, with the exception of those obtained by combining the alginate with the vegetable fiber NITACEL WF 200, the appearance obtained with the latter being transparent matt and therefore very close to that of natural casings. of animal origin.
- the food film evenly covers the food product, however, the pectin-based film has great brittleness and, in places, holes.
- the use of cellulose fibers of the GEMTEC 300 type results in the appearance of fine air bubbles in the food envelope.
- the fixing bath used is a CaCl 2 bath diluted to 10% in a 25/75 water / ethanol solution.
- the food envelope obtained forming the artificial casing was applied for the production of sausage of the merguez type, namely containing 25% of beef and 75% of lean mutton and of the chipolata type based on pork.
- the soaking bath used consisted of alginates FD 175 in 2% solution and NITACEL WF 200 in solution of 1.34% and the fixing bath was a bath of CaCl 2 at 10% in a water / ethanol 50 solution / 50 with a pH of 3.
- the weight gain of the processed merguez is specified in the following table:
- the food film is distributed homogeneously around the sausage, is very resistant and has a mat appearance.
- the duration of contact of the coated sausage with the fixing bath affects the rigidity of the final food film obtained. In fact, the longer the contact time with the fixing bath, the more the rigidity of the film increases.
- the food film obtained for merguez N ° C has a higher resistance to cooking than that of merguez N ° A, the food envelope of which consists of a natural animal casing.
- Merguez N ° C has a texture and a crunchy texture similar to Merguez N ° A.
- Example 5 This example describes an industrial implementation, in which 50 kg of chipolata flesh at a temperature of -5 ° C. were used for the production of the sausages.
- An industrial former and wrapper known under the trade name Koppens from the company CONNLNENCE FOOD was used for this purpose.
- the coating bath used was as follows:
- the fixing bath was a 10% aqueous solution of CaCl 2 with a pH of 3.
- the coating of the food film was carried out by passing the sausages under a curtain of gel, the sausages then being directed under a blower of air before being collected in the fixing bath, where they were kept for 3 minutes.
- the sausages obtained were cooked the same day and good resistance to cooking was observed, as well as good adhesion of the film to the product during cooking.
- the food film obtained also exhibited excellent resistance to stretching. This test made it possible to conclude that the use of industrial machines is therefore possible, the mechanical properties of the film obtained being similar to or even superior to those of natural casings of animal origin.
- the texture and surface properties of the casings obtained are identical to those of natural casings of animal origin.
- the invention it is possible to produce a vegetable casing which can advantageously replace a natural casing, this casing being obtained by coating the food product.
- the film forming the casing has characteristics in terms of textures and mechanical properties identical to those of a natural casing.
- this vegetable casing also has good resistance to cooking, adhesion to the product and swelling capacity necessary for the treatment of products containing food casings.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the aqueous solutions used, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
