Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A process for preparing linked meat filled sausage casings of regenerated cellulose having uniform dimensional characteristics which comprises applying to the external walls of the casing an aqueous dispersion containing a water soluble cellulose ether and 0.25 to 1.0% by weight of an alkylene oxide adduct of a partial fatty acid ester, said cellulose ether imparting a low coefficient of friction to the casing, the water soluble cellulose ether being present in the dispersion at a concentration of about 0.25 to 1.0% by weight and being applied to the external wall of the casing in a proportion 0.25 to 1.0 mg/in 2 of external casing surface, filling the casing with meat emulsion after the aqueous dispersion is applied thereto and then linking the meat filled casing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A process for preparing linked meat filled sausage casings of regenerated cellulose having uniform dimensional characteristics which comprises applying to the external walls of the casing an aqueous dispersion containing a water soluble cellulose ether and 0.25 to 1.0% by weight of an alkylene oxide adduct of a partial fatty acid ester, said cellulose ether imparting a low coefficient of friction to the casing, the water soluble cellulose ether being present in the dispersion at a concentration of about 0.25 to 1.0% by weight and being applied to the external wall of the casing in a proportion 0.25 to 1.0 mg/in 2 of external casing surface, filling the casing with meat emulsion after the aqueous dispersion is applied thereto and then linking the meat filled casing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
105 words
A process for preparing linked meat filled sausage casings of regenerated cellulose having uniform dimensional characteristics which comprises applying to the external walls of the casing an aqueous dispersion containing a polyethylene oxide, said polyethylene oxide imparting a low coefficient of friction to the casing, the polyethylene oxide being present in the dispersion at a concentration of about 0.25 to 1.0% by weight and being applied to the external wall of the casing in a proportion 0.25 to 1.0 mg/in 2 of external casing surface, filling the casing with meat emulsion after the aqueous dispersion is applied thereto and then linking the meat filled casing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
105 words
