PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SOFT GELATIN CAPSULES BY A DRIP-FEED METHOD

摘要

In a drip-feed process for the production of soft gelatin capsules in which the preferably pasty or liquid filling material is covered with a soft gelatin composition, the soft gelatin composition is solidified in a cooling bath comprising a chemically inert, deep-cooled liquefied gas which does not leave behind any biologically unacceptable or harmful residue on the soft gelatin capsule. The cooling bath used is preferably liquid nitrogen.
