CAPSULE DISPENSING CONTAINER

摘要

A package for delivering a single-dose product includes a softgel capsule which is comprised of at least one gelling agent selected from protein-based gelling agents and polysaccharide-based gelling agents. The capsule shell includes one or more areas of reduced thickness that are preferentially ruptured by exertion of a compressive force on the softgel capsule to create an opening in the capsule shell through which the fill composition can be delivered by spraying or squeezing. A method for manufacturing the softgel capsule having one or more areas of reduced shell thickness is also described.

1. A softgel capsule package for delivering a single-dose product, comprising:
a softgel capsule shell formed from at least one gelling agent selected from a protein and a polysaccharide, the softgel capsule shell including at least one area having a first shell thickness, and one or more areas of reduced shell thickness configured to preferentially rupture by exertion of a compression force on the softgel capsule shell to provide an opening in the capsule shell through which a fill contained in the package can be dispensed.
