SOFT GELATIN CAPSULE MANUFACTURE

摘要

The present invention is directed to a process for manufacturing soft gelat in capsules having a capsule shell comprising gelatin and a component which leads to tackiness, wherein the gelatin is in the form of bands and wherein cooling of the gelatin bands to form the capsule shell is effected using a liquid coolant. The manufacture of said capsules is improved, if in the process for making the soft gelatin capsules the gelatin bands are cooled with a liquid, and preferably with water. The soft gelatin capsules have a capsule shell comprising gelatin, plasticizers and, if desired or required, further auxiliary agents, and a capsule filling containing a solvent including a migrateable solvent such as 1,2-propyleneglycol as a solvent in the capsule filling and in the capsule shell.
