The invention relates to the preparation of starch capsules which protect various substances, such as peptides, proteins, particularly pharmaceutical peptides and proteins, drugs or flavouring agents or spices against the effect of the environment or the intestines. A fraction of starch granules in a correct size class is chosen and the granules are hydrolysed. Starch granules are filled at the same time as the granules are hydrolysed or after the hydrolysis.
