PURPOSE:To obtain a soft film capsule mixed with alginic acid having excellent water resistance and heat resistance by crosslinking soft capsule covered with film comprising mixture of gelatin or lower methoxylpectine with specific amount of plasticizer and sodium alginate by positive ion. CONSTITUTION:100 pts.wt. gelatin or lower methoxylpectine is uniformly blended with 10-50 pts.wt. plasticizer such as glycerin or sorbitol and 0.3-10 pts.wt. sodium alginate, then made to dried or semi-dried film, thus a capsule is formed. Next, said film is crosslinked using at least divalent positive ion, especially preferably calcium ion to afford the aimed material. Resultant capsule is useful for fields such as food processing, physic, quasi-drug or cosmetics and easily preservable in distribution process having excellent stability of quality and excellent functionality. Further, the capsule is efficiently produced in shortened manufacturing process and reducing cost of equipment with excellent productivity. |
