AQUEOUS COMPOSITION FOR HARD CAPSULE, AND HARD CAPSULE PRODUCED USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to an aqueous composition for a hard capsule, a method for producing same, and a hard capsule produced using the aqueous composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to an aqueous composition for a hard capsule which comprises a small amount of alcohol and thus has guaranteed stability and excellent capsule moldability, and to a hard capsule produced using the aqueous composition.

主权项

1. An aqueous composition for a hard capsule comprising a water-soluble cellulose ether; at least one lower alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, and butanol; and water,
wherein a concentration of the lower alcohol is in a range of 1 to 4.9% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the aqueous composition for hard capsule, and the aqueous composition for a hard capsule further comprises a glycol at 4 to 50 parts by weight, both exclusive, based on 100 parts by weight of the water-soluble cellulose ether.
