NON-GELATINOUS CAPSULE FILM COMPOSITIONS AND CAPSULES USING THE SAME

摘要

Non-gelatinous capsule film compositions containing as the base a starch hydrolyzate having an average DE of less than 10 and an average molecular weight of not more than 30,000. These non-gelatinous capsule film compositio ns have stable moisture absorbing/releasing properties and strength to such extent as sufficiently withstanding the production and storage as products a nd yet achieve excellent disintegration properties in vivo. Also, capsules produced by using the non-gelatinous capsule film compositions as described above are provided.
