ABSTRACT:
The removal of a cellulosic casing from about a sausage, stuffed and processed in the casing, is accomplished by contacting the casing, either before or after stuffing, with a food grade enzyme, e.g.a. cellulase or cellulase enzyme complex, to metabolize the cellulosic casing on the sausage thereby producing a substantially casing-free sausage. Contacting the casing with the enzyme is accomplished prior to stuffing by applying an enzyme solution to the internal surface of the casing as part of an internal shirring spray or as a stripe to the exterior of the casing. Contacting with the enzyme after stuffing is accomplished by showering the stuffed casing with the enzyme solution. Also disclosed is the use of a combination of pre and post stuffing methods for applying the enzyme to the casing.
