Halal Food Casing
Technology
Cellulose Casing
Research was conducted which lead to a new discovery in the
food industry. Casing supplier Vikase Marketing and specialty
chemical company Rhodia Food have collaborated together in resulting
the Nojax AL cellulose casing.
Developed in the US the cellulose casing effectively reduces
the risk of Listeria Monocytogenes Surface Contamination.
This
technology has won the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) endorsement
from the US Food and Drug Administration.
According to a report
done by Rhodia Food, this technology uses a natural anti microbial
system to the surface of the meat in the cellulose casing.
Since the discovery of this astonishing breakthrough, the US
and countries from Europe have been using it to package their
meat based products.

How We Are Using It
At Prima-Agri we are implementing this latest
technology. The product Nojax Casing 22/55 CL is used to package
our sausages. Our cellulose casing is produced from cotton liners
(the fuzz from the cotton seeds), which are dissolved and generated
into casing. It provides a high structural strength to the packaged
product making it protected from any damage of infection.
The Nojax casing used by us gives a good display and impression
to serve the purpose of attracting consumers into buying our
product. Consumers will feel confident when they look at the
product at a glance.
This cellulose casing maintains the moisture of the product
when being stored in cold storage. It also helps when the product
is being cooked. |
