Cellulose tripe represents an excellent solution for smoked and non-smoked products, cooked foods, and matured sausages, as well as smoked mortadella sausage (particularly the Italian type, which is highly sought after by consumers) and for the production of sausages according to caliber.
VISCOFAN specifically sells small- and large-caliber tripes, both with their specifications and particularities.
There is no denying that today’s end consumers are much more demanding about their diet and not only want improved visual attractiveness for food, but also (and especially) knowing that they are consuming a healthy, sustainable, safe product.
So, if you’re looking to satisfy this target audience, keep reading this post, where we’ll highlight both the key features of cellulose tripe as well as its benefits.
What types of cellulose tripes are offered at VISCOFAN and what are their key features?
As said earlier, at VISCOFAN, you can choose both small- and large-caliber cellulose tripes. The former is known for its elasticity and caliber consistency (13 mm to 44 mm), as well as its homogeneity. Small-caliber tripes may also be smoked and are compatible with food dyes, but they also never absorb undesirable aromas.
They are mostly used in making sausages as well as cooked, smoked and non-smoked foods, and matured sausages, as mentioned in the introduction.
High-caliber tripes, on the other hand, are permeable tubes made out of regenerated cellulose. Its transparency and shine along with its high-quality appearance can potentially drive your products’ value. Moreover, at VISCOFAN, the cellulose line also has new calibers ranging from 34 mm to 220 mm, as follows:
- Cellulose LC has a cylindrical, uniform appearance with high elasticity, with calibers of 34 mm to 60 mm;
- Cellulose C is a solution with a cylindrical appearance and good uniformity for higher calibers ranging from 60 mm to 100 mm;
- Cellulose Deli is VISCOFAN’s solution for premium mortadella sausages, with an oval shape and high caliber, as well as high permeation for smoking and excellent flexibility, ranging from 100 mm to 220 mm.
When it comes to cellulose tripe, though, there are two different types: One has a composition that is ideal for thin materials, and the other uses a type of cellulose with vegetable glycerin, making it great for vegan products.
What are its benefits?
The benefits can be outlined individually. When it comes to low-caliber cellulose, these include:
- they can be used as a mold so that the product is given any desired shape, thanks to its permeable, flexible, and resistant aspect;
- ensuring high productivity, due to its excellent peelability even at high speeds, in addition to its preservation in sticks that are ready for casing.
On the other hand, high-caliber tripes have the following advantages:
- high transparency, allowing the product encased by them to be seen with perfect clarity;
- good product adaptability, since, depending on the properties of the tripe, both oval and cylindrical shapes can be used.
Ultimately, you can also find striped and colored tripes compatible with color transfer to standardize your productive processes. This makes it easier to ensure control and optimize quality.
