Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of producing a food product, to a process for preparing an edible product from the food product, and to the products thereby produced.
- Food products having a filling and an outer casing can be produced by pre- forming a casing and subsequently adding the filler to the preformed casing.
- they can be produced by co-extrusion of the filling (such as uncooked sausage meat) together with a casing.
- a collagen-containing mixture that is capable of forming a gel is generally extruded around the filler and is subsequently caused to gel or otherwise become more firm, for example by immersion in an aqueous salt solution.
- the mechanism of gelling can involve dehydration of the gel in the relatively concentrated salt solution.
- the co-extruded mass, after gel formation, is formed into separate sausages, for example by crimping.
- US 3,993,790 discloses the formation of a tubular food casing and is thus an example of a process in which a casing is pre-formed and subsequently filled.
- the casing is produced using a mixture containing collagen together with a strong acid and a weak acid.
- a process for producing casings is also disclosed in GB 1493795.
- a process for producing fresh sausage by co-extrusion is described in WO 00/02463.
- the casing is treated with a flowable anti-dehydration agent before or after linking.
- a disadvantage with conventional co-extrusion processes, such as described above, is that they require air drying before the sausage attains structural integrity. It is not possible to handle or manipulate the sausage directly before air drying. Air drying is energy intensive and can cause problems such as heating, or even partial cooking, of the sausage meat or other filler.
- EP-A-882403 seeks to solve the problem of air drying by avoiding heated aii- drying.
- a further disadvantage associated with conventional processes is that the collagen must be cross-linked before the collagen casing attains structural integrity.
- the cross-linking is generally earned out using agents such as liquid smoke or aldehydes such as glutaraldehyde.
- Cross-linking is also sometimes termed "coagulation" in the art.
- cross-linking is a separate process from dehydration of the gel in the salt solution.
- EP-A-0882403 avoids air drying, it employs liquid smoke as a cross-linking agent and the examples show that a process carried out in the absence of liquid smoke fails to give a useful product because the casing is too weak.
- the present invention aims to alleviate the problems of using air drying and cross-linking agents in the co-extrusion of food products.
- Cross-linking agents can have an adverse effect on the colour and/or the taste of a food product.
- the use of some cross-linking agents is subject to legal constraints. Surprisingly, it has been found that co-extrusion can be carried out effectively without the need for drying or cross-linking agents if tartaric acid is employed in the mixture that is used to form the casing.
- the present invention provides a method of producing a food product having an outer casing and a filling, which comprises co-extruding the filling together with a gel-forniing mixture comprising collagen such that the mixture encases the filling, and bringing the extrudate into contact with an aqueous salt solution to form the food product, wherein the mixture comprises tartaric acid such that the food product thus formed has structural integrity without substantial drying or cross-linking.
- the invention also provides a process for preparing an edible food product which comprises cooking (e.g., baking, grilling and/or frying) the food product obtained or obtainable by the method of the invention.
- cooking e.g., baking, grilling and/or frying
- the food product of the invention is preferably a product of the "sausage" type. Sausages are typically formed by forming twists or links or other constrictions along a continuous length of filling and casing.
- the filling in the sausage can comprise meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products (such as cheese) or combinations thereof.
- the filling may optionally contain one or more conventional additives such as preservatives (eg, ascorbic acid or its salts), colouring agents and flavouring agents (eg, sodium chloride and pepper).
- the food product is a sausage containing uncooked sausagemeat (eg, comprising a meat selected from pork, beef, lamb, chicken or turkey, most preferably pork, or mixtures thereof) ie, a fresh sausage.
- Other conventional additives such as sugars (including sucrose and lactose), breadcrumbs and fat, can be included in the filling.
- the casing for the food product of the invention comprises collagen and tartaric acid.
- the collagen can be from any suitable source, it is preferably obtained from animal sources, such as bovine hide.
- the casing typically constitutes from 1- 10% by weight of the food product and preferably has a thickness of from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, more preferably about 0.2 mm.

- the mixture preferably has a pH of less than 4, more preferably less than 3.
- the protein (eg, collagen) content of the mixture is preferably 2 to 10% by weight, more preferably 3.5 to 5% by weight, such as 4.0 to 4.5% by weight.
- the amount of tartaric acid in the mixture is preferably from 0.1 to 5% by weight, more preferably 0.2 to 4% by weight, such as 0.5 to 2% by weight.
- the water content of the gel-forming mixture is typically 90 to 95% by weight.
- the gel-forming mixture can be included in the gel-forming mixture, typically in an amount of less then 1% by weight.
- Vegetable oil can optionally be included in the mixture.
- Cellulose fibre preferably in an amount of up to 2% by weight of the mixture, is a further optional component.
- the tartaric acid is preferably the sole acid in the mixture ie, the mixture preferably does not contain any other added inorgam ' c or organic acid ( apart from any residual acids derived from the extraction of the collagen).
- the mixture may comprise other orgam ' c and/or inorgam ' c acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid and citric acid. If the mixture contains other organic and/or inorganic acids, these are preferably present in an amount of less than 50 % by weight, more preferably less than 30 % by weight, most preferably less than 10 % by weight, based on total acids in the mixture.
- tartaric acid may contribute to its effectiveness.
- tartaric acid is capable of forming a mixed salt with sodium and potassium (Rochelle or Seignette salt) having four molecules of water of crystallisation, it may thus act to remove surrounding water from the casing during crystal formation.
- the tartaric salts may also form a bridge between the filling (which ma ⁇ ' comprise sodium ions) and the casing (which may comprise potassium ions).

- the method can be operated as a batchwise or continuous process, preferably as a continuous process.
- structural integrity means a structure that is self- supporting at 7 0 C (eg, the casing does not split or burst) when placed on a flat surface and that can be subsequently handled without the casing splitting or bursting.
- Structural integrity can be alternatively or additionally defined in terms of the tensile strength of the food product.
- the tensile strength is at least 3 N, more preferably 3 to 15 N 5 even more preferably 5 to 10 N.
