Reiser introduces new Vemag Alginate Sausage Casing Line
Reiser has introduced the new Vemag Alginate Line for producing sausages in alginate casings. Alginate casings are a cost effective alternative to more expensive natural casings and collagen casings, and can significantly lower sausage production costs.
Alginate is a gel obtained from algae. It is a natural product and purely vegetable-based. The alginate encapsulates the sausage in a transparent skin, allowing the product to remain visible. It imparts a good texture and a pleasant mouth-feel. After curing, it feels perfectly cool and dry. It does not soften again, even when exposed to hot water.
