Beef middles are deivered of the following quality categories: А and АВ.
For the production of liver sausage only the casing of quality category А will suit, because in the production of this kind of sausage the existence of nodular casing is not allowed.Beef middles are delivered in bunches of 9 or 18 meters.
Use
Before use it is necessary to shake a casing to release from salt remainders, to wash it in cool water for 10-15 minutes and to soak in warm water (30-35 °С) for 0,5-4 hours. The time of soaking of a casing depends on its condition. Heavily dewatered, dry casing must stay in water for a longer time than the casing, which was stored in pickle and hasn't lost much moisture. Finally after the soaking the casing must get back to its natural condition and obtain elasticity.
Storage
Being conserved, the natural casing can be stored in barrels at temperature 0-10°С 15 months, 10-25°С 12 months.
