The difference between natural and artificial casings
Dec 06,2023
Natural casing and artificial casing are two different types of casings used in the production of sausages.
Natural casings are made from the intestines of animals, typically pigs, sheep, or cows. The intestines are thoroughly cleaned and processed to remove any impurities, resulting in a clean and edible casing. Natural casings have been used for centuries and are valued for their authentic texture, flavor, and appearance. They provide a unique snap and juiciness to sausages. However, natural casings can be fragile and require careful handling during the stuffing process.
On the other hand, artificial casings are typically made from collagen, cellulose, or plastic materials. Collagen casings are derived from animal hides and connective tissues, while cellulose casings are made from plant fibers. Plastic casings, as the name suggests, are made from various types of plastics. Artificial casings are more uniform in size and shape and have a consistent quality. They are also easier to handle and can be used with automated sausage stuffing machines. However, artificial casings lack the natural flavor and texture that natural casings provide.
Ultimately, the choice between natural and artificial casings depends on personal preference and the desired characteristics of the sausage. Natural casings are chosen for their traditional and authentic appeal, while artificial casings offer convenience and consistency in production.
