What is Collagen Casing?
Collagen is a naturally occurring, long, fibrous protein used for many years as a raw material in the food and casing industry. Collagen sausage casing is manufactured by breaking collagen fibre down into a solution and extruding it into tubes of uniform thickness and diameter, giving a strong, consistent membrane that is either edible or non-edible depending on the application. Sripath Foods supplies both categories in India through ViskoTeepak's Nippi (edible) and Fibran (non-edible) collagen ranges.
Types of Collagen Casing We Offer
Nippi Edible Collagen (for fresh, smoked & cooked sausages):
- R-type — multi-purpose casing for processed, smoked, semi-dried and dried sausage; extra-strong membrane for high-speed stuffing, tender bite after cooking.
- K-type & CK-type — alternative bite characteristics to R-type, used for snack sticks, Chinese sausages and cupping pepperoni (available up to 38mm diameter).
- F-type — designed for fresh sausage cooked by deep-frying, grilling or pan-frying; low shrinkage and minimal breakage during linking.
- NF — for fully cooked fresh/frozen links such as breakfast sausage, andouille and chorizo; smooth, effective production process.
Fibran Non-Edible Collagen (for cured, smoked & cooked sausages):
- S1 — straight and round casing, Ø19–140mm, for smoked/cooked sausages and salami-type products.
- NF — high-permeability casing for cooked sausages and cured products requiring prolonged cooking (salami, cured Iberian loin, fuet).
- TER (Tender Edible Round) — tender, natural-casing substitute for fresh, cooked and smoked Frankfurt-type sausages.
- SET (Straight Edible Tender) — for large-caliber (38mm+) smoked and cooked sausages, no peeling required.
- COLEX — extra-thin-wall, ready-to-use edible casing with high adherence and elasticity for cooked dinner sausage.
Applications of Collagen Casing
- Sausage casings for fresh, cooked, smoked and dry sausages
- Snack sticks, Chinese sausages, cupping pepperoni
- Breakfast links (pork, turkey, chicken), andouille, chorizo
- Salami, cured Iberian loin, fuet and other charcuterie
- Meat processing industry — automated, high-speed sausage production lines
Storage & Handling
Store collagen casings in a cool, dry environment (typically 35–59°F / 2–15°C depending on type), away from direct light and moisture. Avoid freezing. Keep opened boxes sealed and use promptly once opened, since improper storage can dry out the casing and cause breakage during stuffing.
