can be used to produce uncooked smoked/ dry-cured products, which traditionally are filled into natural casings.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Completely imitates natural casing in appearance and by organoleptic characteristics. Does not lose tenderness while cracking even after heat treating.
Shapestability (stable caliber and weight while stuffing, heat treating and storing)
Excellent qualities while drying and heat treating
"Knack"
effect while cracking
Taste of "a casing absence" while chewing
BRC, ISO Standards Certification
In complience with Halal, Kosher requirements
Natur LC is the most recent solution by Viscofan to achieve the superior tenderness of the product while biting.
