Claims
- 1. A method of preparing a cellulose food casing for use with a snack food type product which comprises coating the internal surface of said food casing with a release coating composition comprising at least about 0.286% by weight of a water soluble cellulose ether and at least 0.029% by weight of cationic thermosetting resin.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said resin is water soluble or water dispersible.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said coating composition is an aqueous solution or suspension.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said coating is about 3.5 milligrams per square inch of internal casing surface.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said resin is curable from being water soluble to being water insoluble.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said cellulose ether is selected from the group cosisting of non-ionic water soluble alkyl and hydroxyalkyl cellulose ethers, and anionic water soluble cellulose ethers.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said cellulose ether is selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, ethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
- 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said cellulose ether is selected from the group consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
- 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said cellulose ether is methyl cellulose.
- 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said resin is selected from the group consisting of reaction products of an epichlorohydrin and a polyamide, a modified melamine and formaldehyde, and a modified urea and formaldehyde.
- 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said resin is the reaction product of an epichlorohydrin and a polyamide.
- 12. The method of claim 1 wherein said coating composition is applied by slugging the casing.
- 13. The method of claim 1 wherein said coating composition is applied by spray shirring the casing.
- 14. The method of claim 1 wherein said coating composition is applied by slugging the casing with said cellulose ether and spray shirring the ether-coated casing with said resin.
- 15. The method of claim 1, wherein said cellulose ether is methyl cellulose and said resin is the reaction product of an epichlorohydrin and a polyamide.
- 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the weight ratio of said methyl cellulose to said reaction product is about 10:1.
- 17. The method of claim 15, wherein said coating comprises at least about 1.0 milligram of said methyl cellulose per 100 square inches of internal casing surface and at least about 0.1 milligram of said reaction product per 100 square inches of internal casing surface.
- 18. A method of preparing a processed food product such as a snack food type product wherein the food product is processed in a food casing, wherein the improvement comprises using a cellulosic food casing including an internal release coating comprising at least about 0.286% by weight of water soluble cellulose ether and at least 0.029% by weight of cationic thermosetting resin, and peeling said food casing from said food product subsequent to said processing.
- 19. The method of claim 18, wherein said resin is water soluble or water dispersible.
- 20. The method of claim 18, wherein said coating is an aqueous solution or suspension.
- 21. The method of claim 18, wherein said coating is about 3.5 milligrams per square inch of internal casing surface.
- 22. The method of claim 18, wherein said resin is curable from being water soluble to being water insoluble.
- 23. The method of claim 18, wherein said cellulose ether is selected from the group consisting of nonionic water soluble alkyl and hydroxyalkyl cellulose ethers, and anionic water soluble cellulose ethers.
- 24. The method of claim 18, wherein said cellulose ether is selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, ethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
- 25. The method of claim 18, wherein said cellulose ether is selected from the group consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
- 26. The method of claim 18, wherein said cellulose ether is methyl cellulose.
- 27. The method of claim 18, wherein said resin is selected from the group consisting of reaction products of an epichlorohydrin and a polyamide, a modified melamine and formaldehyde, and a modified urea and formaldehyde.
- 28. The method of claim 18, wherein said resin is the reaction product of an epichlorohydrin and a polyamide.
- 29. The method of claim 18, wherein the weight ratio of said methyl cellulose to said reaction product is about 10:1.
- 30. The method of claim 18, wherein said cellulose ether is methyl cellulose and said resin is the reaction product of an epichlorohydrin and a polyamide.
- 31. The method of claim 30, wherein said coating comprises at least about 1.0 milligram of said methyl cellulose per 100 square inches of internal casing surface and at least about 0.1 milligram of said reaction product per 100 square inches of internal casing surface.
