Description

iCel is a highly permeable casing for smoked and cured cheeses, including sliced products. iCel casings can be used on automatic and semi-automatic equipment.

Application

The highly permeable iCel casing is designed for the production, packaging, storage, and distribution of smoked processed cheese. It is ideal for removing from the product when making sliced cheeses.

Advantages

1. iCel's smoke-permeable casing allows for roasting and smoking, imparting a pleasant traditional smoked flavor and aroma, promoting the formation of a coagulated protein crust, and a glossy surface beneath the casing.

2. iCel's high mechanical strength allows it to be used with high-performance automatic and semi-automatic clipping machines, ensuring high production speeds and shape stability.

3. iCel's high elasticity allows for overstuffing.

4. Its high oxygen barrier properties, compared to protein and viscose-reinforced casings, provide the following advantages:
— reduction of oxidative processes, particularly the rancidity of bacon;
— preservation of the individual flavor of spices in the finished product throughout its shelf life.

5. The high heat resistance of the polymers used in the production of iCel casings significantly expands the temperature range of use compared to cellulose casings. The casing is resistant not only to high smoking temperatures (up to 75–85°C) but also to prolonged exposure to them.

6. Microbiological resistance. The polymers used in the production of iCel casings are inert to bacteria and mold. This improves the hygienic properties of both the casing itself and the finished product.

7. Ideal for removing from the product when making sliced cheeses.
