A biopolymer-based food casing having an impregnation on the side facing the food is provided. The impregnation includes at least one hydrophobic, synthetic, organic polymer. By taloring the impregnation, the peelability of the casing may be adjusted to correspond to the type of food contained within the casing. The casing is used, especially, as an artificial sausage casing for raw sausage, scalded-emulsion sausage or cooked-meat sausage. 1. A biopolymeric food casing which has an impregnation on the side facing the food , said impregnation comprising at least one hydrophobic , synthetic , organic polymer selected from the group consisting of polystyrene , styrene/(meth)acrylate copolymers , styrene/maleate copolymers , styrene/butadiene copolymers , polyurethanes , polyacrylonitriles , polyisoprene , polyacrylamide , poly(meth)acrylates , polyvinyl pyrrolidone , polyvinylidene chloride , ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers , polyvinyl acetate , polyvinyl alcohol or optionally N-substituted polyvinylamines.2. The food casing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the biopolymer is a polysaccharide claim 1 , a polysaccharide derivative claim 1 , a protein claim 1 , a protein derivative claim 1 , or a mixture thereof.3. The food casing as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the polysaccharide comprises cellulose claim 2 , starch or a starch derivative and/or alginic acid.4. The food casing as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the protein comprises collagen claim 2 , gelatin and/or derivatives thereof.5. The food casing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said food casing further comprises a fiber reinforcement.6. The food casing as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said fiber reinforcement comprises a textile material claim 5 , a nonwoven claim 5 , or a fiber paper.7. The food casing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic claim 1 , synthetic claim 1 , organic polymer comprises styrene/(meth)acrylate copolymer.8. The food casing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the polymer is a cationic ...
