Sausage making dates back many centuries. Traditionally sausage
meat was stuffed into sheep, hog and beef intestines. These natural
casings still play a significant role in the sausage casing industry
today. In fact, Koolmees, Tersteeg, Keizer, van den Broek, and Bradley
(2004) estimated theworld trade of natural casings to be approximately
$2.5 billion annually. Along with natural casings, many other types of
casings, including manufactured collagen, cellulose and plastic casings
are commonly used in the sausage industry (Savic & Savic, 2002).
These artificial casings offer several advantages over their natural counterparts
including a more uniform size, strength and flexibility for varying
processing conditions; a greater consistency in net product weight;
and a cleaner, more sanitary product (Kutas, 1987). However, like
natural casings, artificial casings are of a finite length and thus sausage
stuffing remains a batch process.
