CASING INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Stage I: Soaking
- casings must be soaked in a 10-15% salt solution in the temperature of 20 ± 5°C for 15 minutes before use; in case of ring casings solution temperature should be 25 ± 5°C;
- in case of wrinkled casings soaking time should be extended for about 5 minutes;
- in case of RTU casings soaking needs to be skipped;
- during soaking the whole casing must be immersed in water;
Stage II: Filling
- the casings should be stuffed on machines suitable with FABIOS technological equirements (hand and automatic filling machines);
- you must remember to use the recommended fillings depending on the chosen size of the casing;
Stage III: Clipping or tying
- FABIOS casings can be clipped automatically;
- clipping machines especially for collagen casings are suggested;
- the thickness of the clips should be properly chosen;
- the casing can be hand tied;
Stage IV: Termal treatment
- in case of FG and FC, casings scalding temperature should not be higher than 75°C and smoking - 90°C;
- in case of FGR and FGL casings, the maximal temperature of procesising with cold smoke is 40°C;
Stage V: cooling or maturing
- after finishing the scaldind or smoking process, the meat products should be cooled instantly;
- the cooling should allow the product to gain optimal temperature;
- in case of FGR or FGL casings treated whit cold smoke, resting of the products is required;
