Overview
Collagen casing is an edible artificial casing made from collagen derived from animal dermis. It is the primary substitute for natural casings in meat processing. With the industrialization of meat processing in 1925, the limitations of natural casings—such as limited supply and inconsistent specifications—drove the development of artificial casings, leading to the emergence of collagen casings.
