Food: Science Picture Challenge #2 - Using Synthetic casing for Sausage

in sciencepic •  7 years ago 

As you think of sausage, you generally think of the cylindrical shape sausage. Meat processor use casing to give sausage their firm shape. It comes in different other various forms.  Casing generally refers to the soft cylindrical type containers that is used to keep sausage mixed contents. Sausage are kept in link form which contain some mixture of ground meat, fats and seasonings. These are packed into casing and twisted or tied at various interval to create cylindrical form . It provides link between each other.  There are mainly Natural, Artifical and Reconstituted collagen casing. 

Mentre pensi alla salsiccia, generalmente pensi alla salsiccia di forma cilindrica. L'involucro per l'utilizzo del robot da carne consente di dare alla salsiccia la sua forma soda. È disponibile in diverse altre forme. Involucro si riferisce generalmente ai contenitori di tipo cilindrico morbido che viene utilizzato per mantenere il contenuto misto di salsiccia. La salsiccia è mantenuta in forma di raccordo che contiene una miscela di carne macinata, grassi e condimenti. Questi sono impacchettati nell'involucro e ritorti o legati a vari intervalli per creare una forma cilindrica. Fornisce il collegamento tra loro. Ci sono principalmente budello di collagene naturale, artificiale e ricostituito.

Natural casing is type of casing where the cooked meat are stuffed into stomach and intestine of goat by slaughtering. It provides a sort of firm and resist pressure produced by filling with sausage mixes.  Nowdays, it is made of submucosa layer. Provides deeper flavor and visual appeal. 

 Artificial / Synthetic  casing is a type of casing where materials like collagen, cellulose and plastic which sometimes may not me edible is used.  

 Il budello naturale è un tipo di involucro in cui la carne cotta viene insaccata nello stomaco e nell'intestino di capra mediante la macellazione. Fornisce una sorta di ditta e resiste alla pressione prodotta riempiendo con miscele di salsiccia. Oggigiorno, è fatto di strato di submucosa. Fornisce un sapore più profondo e un appeal visivo.
L'involucro artificiale / sintetico è un tipo di involucro in cui vengono utilizzati materiali come collagene, cellulosa e plastica che a volte potrebbero non essere commestibili.


Discuss: 

Synthetic casing of sausage. 


Artificial casing has been the longest one and are generally produced from the hides of animal like cows and pigs collagen. Even the cases can be produced from the poultry and fishes. 

It gives a desired weight and size control compared to natural casing. Regarded as inexpensive choice and easier to use. 

Discutere: Budello sintetico di salsiccia. L'involucro artificiale è stato il più lungo e viene generalmente prodotto dalle pelli di animali come mucche e maiali di collagene. Anche i casi possono essere prodotti dal pollame e dai pesci. Offre un peso e un controllo delle dimensioni desiderati rispetto al budello naturale. Considerato come scelta economica e più facile da usare. 


Fig: Separating unwanted products from the meat 


Firstly, separating the meat was done by our group of team. Unwanted part were thrown . Only the most grind-able and edible parts were taken. Mixed with the sausage flavoring. Sometimes bones and tendons of animals can also be included. 

 In primo luogo, la separazione della carne è stata effettuata dal nostro gruppo di lavoro. La parte indesiderabile fu lanciata. Sono state prese solo le parti più macinabili e commestibili. Mescolato con l'aroma della salsiccia. A volte possono essere inclusi anche ossa e tendini di animali.

Sausage mixed are stuffed into synthetic casing and twisted at the intervals. This is derived from the synthetic layers. These are removed and packed before selling in retails. Cellulose casing is easy to handle and has it's uniform shape and size. Dry sausage is made. This is unbreakable. 

 Le salsicce mescolate vengono insaccate in budello sintetico e ritorte a intervalli. Questo è derivato dagli strati sintetici. Questi vengono rimossi e imballati prima di essere venduti in vendita al dettaglio. L'involucro in cellulosa è facile da maneggiare e ha forma e dimensioni uniformi. La salsiccia secca è fatta. Questo è infrangibile.


Processing:

Cellulose synthetic casing is inedible. This casing is permeable to gases and smokes which becomes easy to handle. Further processing of smoking, frying roasting and boiling is done. This can help in protecting the products from decaying and damaging during storage. 

 Involucro sintetico di cellulosa non è commestibile. Questo rivestimento è permeabile a gas e fumi che diventa facile da maneggiare. L'ulteriore elaborazione del fumo, la torrefazione e la bollitura sono fatte. Questo può aiutare a proteggere i prodotti dalla decomposizione e dai danni durante lo stoccaggio.

Excess meat was used in making meat loaf. 

  La carne in eccesso veniva usata per preparare il polpettone di carne

Wow impressive!!! So you make sausage at home?
It sounds like a bit too much additives were added to them, but most of the time they taste really nice, which makes me in a dilemma XDD

I am not making at home. It was a trip to the sausage factory for the hygiene project. So clicked some snaps there . Workers there told each and every steps they did. What type of casing they used. Conclusively, they told about the casing part for the sausages !
