The structure and properties of natural sheep casing and collagen films with various crosslinking treatments have been investigated in detail to develop satisfied artificial casings prepared from collagen. The sheep casing consists of large number of thick collagen fibers oriented at +/- 45 degrees from longitudinal direction with high-density interwoven network structure. The structural feature of sheep casing gave the special mouthfeel of 'cracking bite' of sausages. Whereas, layered structure filled with fine collagen fibrils and large gaps in collagen film results in poor mechanical properties and higher swelling ratio in water. Furthermore, a degree of denaturation of collagen during extraction process also lead to poor mechanical properties. After glutaraldehyde (GTA) and dehydrothermal (DHT) treatments, the formation of crosslinking improved mechanical properties of collagen films significantly and the tensile strength and tensile modulus increased more than three times compared with those of untreated collagen film in wet before and after boiling. The swelling ratio of treated collagen films also decreased dramatically. No obvious effects on denaturation of collagen film after GTA treatment, but the degree of denaturation of DHT treated collagen film increased slightly. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
