Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine wasserlösliche Verpackung, die ein Mittel und eine wasserlösliche Umhüllung umfasst. Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer wasserlöslichen Verpackung.The invention relates to a water-soluble packaging comprising an agent and a water-soluble coating. The invention also relates to a process for producing a water-soluble packaging.

Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel sind heute für den Verbraucher in vielfältigen Angebotsformen erhältlich. Neben Pulvern und Granulaten umfasst dieses Angebot beispielsweise auch Flüssigkeiten, Gele oder Portionspackungen (Tabletten oder gefüllte Beutel).Detergents or cleaners are now available to the consumer in a variety of forms. In addition to powders and granules, this offer includes, for example, liquids, gels or sachets (tablets or filled pouches).

Insbesondere Portionspackungen in Form von wasserlöslichen Verpackungen mit flüssigen Wasch- oder Reinigungsmitteln werden immer beliebter, erfüllen sie einerseits den Wunsch des Verbrauchers nach vereinfachter Dosierung und andererseits bevorzugen immer mehr Verbraucher flüssige Wasch- oder Reinigungsmittel.In particular, portion packs in the form of water-soluble packaging with liquid detergents or cleaners are becoming increasingly popular, they fulfill the one hand, the consumer's desire for simplified dosage and on the other hand more and more consumers prefer liquid detergents or cleaners.

Ein solcher wasserlöslicher Beutel enthält ein Mittel und eine transparente, wasserlösliche Umhüllung.Such a water-soluble bag contains an agent and a transparent, water-soluble wrapper.

Die internationale Patentveröffentlichung WO 96/08555 A1 offenbart ein in einer wasserlöslichen Folie verpacktes Reinigungsmittel zum Geschirrspülen, wobei die wasserlösliche Folie mit dem Bittermittel Bitrex® (Denatoniumbenzoat) beschichtet sein kann, um zu verhindern, dass Kinder das verpackte Reinigungsmittel versehentlich verschlucken.The International Patent Publication WO 96/08555 A1 discloses a dishwashing detergent packaged in a water-soluble film wherein the water-soluble film may be coated with the bitrex® (denatonium benzoate) bitumen to prevent children from inadvertently swallowing the packaged detergent.

Denatoniumbenzoat gilt als die bitterste bekannte Substanz und besitzt einen Bitterwert größer 100.000.000.Denatonium benzoate is considered the bitterest known substance and has a bitter value greater than 100,000,000.

Ein Nachteil bei der Beschichtung einer wasserlöslichen Verpackung mit Bitrex® liegt darin, dass die Anwender der wasserlöslichen Verpackung die Verpackung zum Dosieren in die Hand nehmen und so auch in Kontakt mit dem Bitrex® kommen. Führt ein Anwender nach dem Berühren der wasserlöslichen Verpackung seine Hand in Richtung Mund, reichen schon geringe, an der Hand verbliebene Mengen Bitrex®, um den Geschmackssinn für ein paar Stunden negativ zu beeinträchtigen.A disadvantage of coating a water-soluble packaging with Bitrex® is that the users of the water-soluble packaging take the packaging for dosing into their hands and thus also come into contact with the Bitrex®. If a user, after touching the water-soluble packaging, puts his hand in the direction of the mouth, small amounts of Bitrex® remaining in the hand are enough to negatively affect the sense of taste for a few hours.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, wasserlösliche Verpackungen mit höher Kindersicherheit, aber ohne negative Effekte bei normaler Anwendung bereit zu stellen.The object of the invention is therefore to provide water-soluble packaging with higher child safety, but without negative effects in normal use.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine wasserlösliche Verpackung, die ein Mittel und eine wasserlösliche Umhüllung enthält, bei dem die wasserlösliche Umhüllung zumindest teilweise einen Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 aufweist, gelöst.This object is achieved by a water-soluble package containing an agent and a water-soluble wrapper in which the water-soluble wrapper at least partially has a bittering agent having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000.

Es hat sich überraschenderweise gezeigt, dass Bitterstoffe mit diesen Bitterwerten einen ausreichend hohen Bittergeschmack aufweisen, um zu verhindern dass Kinder eine wasserlösliche Verpackung mit diesem Bitterstoff weiter im oder am Mund behalten, aber bei regulärer Verwendung der wasserlöslichen Verpackung nicht so bitter sind, dass ein auf der Hand verbliebener Rest eines Bitterstoffes bei versehentlichem Kontakt der Hand mit dem Mund die Geschmacksknospen des Verwenders stark und unangenehm über einen längeren Zeitraum reizen.It has surprisingly been found that bitter substances having these bittering values have a sufficiently high bitter taste to prevent children from keeping a water-soluble package with this bittering agent in or around the mouth, but not so bitter upon regular use of the water-soluble package the hand remaining residue of a bitter substance in case of accidental contact of the hand with the mouth irritate the taste buds of the user strongly and unpleasantly for a longer period of time.

Wasserlösliche VerpackungWater-soluble packaging

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine wasserlösliche Verpackung, die ein Mittel und eine wasserlösliche Umhüllung enthält. Die wasserlösliche Umhüllung weist zumindest teilweise einen Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 auf.The invention relates to a water-soluble packaging containing an agent and a water-soluble wrapper. The water-soluble wrapper has at least partially a bittering agent having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000.

Eine wasserlösliche Verpackung enthält eine wasserlösliche Umhüllung, welche eine geschlossene Struktur ausbildet, die in ihrem Inneren eine oder mehrere Kammern zur Aufnahme eines oder mehrerer Mittel aufweist. Die wasserlösliche Umhüllung wird vorzugsweise durch ein wasserlösliches Folienmaterial gebildet.A water-soluble package contains a water-soluble envelope which forms a closed structure having in its interior one or more chambers for receiving one or more agents. The water-soluble coating is preferably formed by a water-soluble film material.

Die wasserlösliche Verpackung kann formstabil oder verformbar ausgebildet sein.The water-soluble packaging may be dimensionally stable or deformable.

Die wasserlösliche Verpackung kann als formstabiler Behälter, beispielsweise in Form einer Kapsel, Box, Dose oder eines Containers ausgebildet sein.The water-soluble packaging may be formed as a dimensionally stable container, for example in the form of a capsule, box, box or container.

Es ist grundsätzlich jedoch auch möglich und bevorzugt, die wasserlösliche Verpackung als einen nicht formstabilen Behälter, beispielsweise als Beutel auszuformen. Die Form einer derartigen wasserlöslichen Verpackung kann den Gebrauchsgegebenheiten weitgehend angepasst werden. Es kommen beispielsweise verschiedenste Formen wie beispielsweise Schläuche, Kissen, Zylinder, Flaschen oder Scheiben in Frage.However, in principle it is also possible and preferred to mold the water-soluble packaging as a non-dimensionally stable container, for example as a bag. The shape of such a water-soluble packaging can be largely adapted to the conditions of use. There are, for example, various forms such as hoses, pillows, cylinders, bottles or discs in question.

Die wasserlösliche Verpackung kann eine oder mehrere Kammern zur Bevorratung eines oder mehrerer Mittel aufweisen. Bevorzugt weist die wasserlösliche Verpackung, zwischen zwei und fünf Kammern auf.The water soluble package may include one or more chambers for storing one or more agents. The water-soluble packaging preferably has between two and five chambers.

Wasserlöslichewater-soluble Umhüllungwrapping

Die wasserlösliche Umhüllung wird vorzugsweise aus einem wasserlöslichen Folienmaterial, welches ausgewählt ist aus der Gruppe, bestehend aus Polymeren oder Polymergemischen, gebildet. Die Umhüllung kann aus einer oder aus zwei oder mehr Lagen aus dem wasserlöslichen Folienmaterial gebildet werden. Das wasserlösliche Folienmaterial der ersten Lage und der weiteren Lagen, falls vorhanden, kann gleich oder unterschiedlich sein. Besonders bevorzugt sind Folien, die beispielsweise zu Verpackungen wie Schläuchen oder Kissen verklebt und/oder versiegelt werden können, nachdem sie mit einem Mittel befüllt wurden.The water-soluble casing is preferably made of a water-soluble film material, which is selected from the group consisting of polymers or polymer mixtures formed. The wrapper may be formed of one or two or more layers of the water-soluble film material. The water-soluble film material of the first layer and the further layers, if present, may be the same or different. Particularly preferred are films which, for example, can be glued and / or sealed to packages such as hoses or cushions after being filled with an agent.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass die wasserlösliche Umhüllung Polyvinylalkohol oder ein Polyvinylalkoholcopolymer enthält. Wasserlösliche Umhüllungen, die Polyvinylalkohol oder ein Polyvinylalkoholcopolymer enthalten, weisen eine gute Stabilität bei einer ausreichend hohen Wasserlöslichkeit, insbesondere Kaltwasserlöslichkeit, auf.It is preferable that the water-soluble coating contains polyvinyl alcohol or a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer. Water-soluble coatings containing polyvinyl alcohol or a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer have a good stability with a sufficiently high water solubility, in particular cold water solubility on.

Geeignete wasserlösliche Folien zur Herstellung der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung basieren bevorzugt auf einem Polyvinylalkohol oder einem Polyvinylalkoholcopolymer, dessen Molekulargewicht im Bereich von 10.000 bis 1.000.000 gmol-1, vorzugsweise von 20.000 bis 500.000 gmol-1, besonders bevorzugt von 30.000 bis 100.000 gmol-1 und insbesondere von 40.000 bis 80.000 gmol-1 liegt.Suitable water-soluble films for producing the water-soluble coating are preferably based on a polyvinyl alcohol or a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer whose molecular weight is in the range of 10,000 to 1,000,000 gmol -1 , preferably 20,000 to 500,000 gmol -1 , more preferably 30,000 to 100,000 gmol -1 and especially from 40,000 to 80,000 gmol -1 .

Die Herstellung von Polyvinylalkohol geschieht üblicherweise durch Hydrolyse von Polyvinylacetat, da der direkte Syntheseweg nicht möglich ist. Ähnliches gilt für Polyvinylalkoholcopolymere, die aus entsprechend aus Polyvinylacetatcopolymeren hergestellt werden. Bevorzugt ist, wenn wenigstens eine Lage der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung einen Polyvinylalkohol umfasst, dessen Hydrolysegrad 70 bis 100 Mol-%, vorzugsweise 80 bis 90 Mol-%, besonders bevorzugt 81 bis 89 Mol-% und insbesondere 82 bis 88 Mol-% ausmacht.The production of polyvinyl alcohol is usually carried out by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate, since the direct synthesis route is not possible. The same applies to polyvinyl alcohol copolymers which are prepared from correspondingly polyvinyl acetate copolymers. It is preferred if at least one layer of the water-soluble coating comprises a polyvinyl alcohol whose degree of hydrolysis makes up 70 to 100 mol%, preferably 80 to 90 mol%, particularly preferably 81 to 89 mol% and in particular 82 to 88 mol%.

Geeignete wasserlösliche Folien zum Einsatz in den wasserlöslichen Umhüllungen der wasserlöslichen Verpackungen gemäß der Erfindung sind Folien, die von der Firma MonoSol LLC beispielsweise unter der Bezeichnung M8630, C8400 oder M8900 vertrieben werden. Andere geeignete Folien umfassen Folien mit der Bezeichnung Solublon® PT, Solublon® GA, Solublon® KC oder Solublon® KL von der Aicello Chemical Europe GmbH oder die Folien VF-HP von Kuraray.Suitable water-soluble films for use in the water-soluble casings of the water-soluble packaging according to the invention are films sold by the company MonoSol LLC, for example under the designation M8630, C8400 or M8900. Other suitable films include films named Solublon® PT, Solublon® GA, Solublon® KC or Solublon® KL from Aicello Chemical Europe GmbH or the films VF-HP from Kuraray.

Die wasserlösliche Umhüllung weist zumindest teilweise einen Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 auf.The water-soluble wrapper has at least partially a bittering agent having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000.

Der Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 kann beispielsweise auf die äußere Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung aufgebracht oder in der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung enthalten sein.The bittering agent having a bitter value of between 1,000 and 200,000 may be applied, for example, to the outer surface of the water-soluble wrapper or contained in the water-soluble wrapper.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die äußere Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung zumindest teilweise mit einem Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 beschichtet. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es insbesondere zu bevorzugen, dass die wasserlösliche Umhüllung zu mindestens 50 %, vorzugsweise zu mindestens 75 % und ganz besonders bevorzugt mindestens 90 % mit dem Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 beschichtet ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer surface of the water-soluble casing is at least partially coated with a bittering agent having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000. In this connection, it is particularly preferable that the water-soluble coating is coated with at least 50%, preferably at least 75%, and most preferably at least 90%, with the bittering agent having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000.

Das Aufbringen des Bitterstoffs mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 kann beispielsweise mittels Bedruckung, Besprühens oder Bestreichung erfolgen.The application of the bittering agent with a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000, for example, by means of printing, spraying or deletion.

Grundsätzlich kann jede Form des Bedruckens zur Bedruckung der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung verwendet werden, wie beispielsweise Tiefdruck, Offsetdruck, Siebdruck, Flexodruck, Airbrush, Tintenstrahldruck oder Tampondruck oder beliebige Kombinationen dieser Drucktechnologien. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Bedruckung mittels Tintenstrahldrucks, da bei dieser Drucktechnologie kein mechanischer Kontakt mit und somit keine mechanische Belastung der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung auftritt. Dasselbe gilt für den Direktdruck mit Piezotechnologie, da dieser auch berührungslos stattfindet.In principle, any form of printing can be used to print the water-soluble wrapper, such as gravure, offset, screen, flexo, airbrush, inkjet or pad printing, or any combination of these printing technologies. Printing by means of ink-jet printing preferably takes place since no mechanical contact with and thus no mechanical loading of the water-soluble coating occurs with this printing technology. The same applies to direct printing with piezo technology, as it also takes place without contact.

Grundsätzlich kann das Druckmedium, welches auf die wasserlösliche Umhüllung aufgebracht wird, weitere Inhaltsstoffe, wie beispielsweise eine farbgebende Substanz, enthalten.In principle, the printing medium, which is applied to the water-soluble coating, contain other ingredients, such as a coloring substance.

Alternativ kann der Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 mittels Pinsel, Rollen oder ähnlichem auf die äußere Umhüllung gestrichen werden.Alternatively, the bittering agent having a bitter value of between 1,000 and 200,000 may be painted on the outer wrapper by means of a brush, roller or the like.

In einer weiteren Alternative wird der Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 mittels eines Zerstäubers aufgesprüht.In another alternative, the bittering agent is sprayed with a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000 by means of an atomizer.

Das Aufbringen des Bitterstoffes mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 kann in Form von Flächen erfolgen, so dass die wasserlösliche Umhüllung zumindest teilweise flächendeckend mit einem Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 bedeckt ist. Alternativ kann das Aufbringen des Bitterstoffes mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 in Form von Buchstaben, Zahlen, Symbolen, Ornamenten oder ähnlichem erfolgen. Letzteres ist insbesondere bevorzugt, wenn der Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 mittels Druckens aufgebracht wird und das Druckmedium neben dem Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 eine farbgebende Substanz enthält.The application of the bittering agent with a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000 may take place in the form of surfaces, so that the water-soluble coating is at least partially covered with a bitter substance having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000. Alternatively, the application of the bittering agent having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000 may be in the form of letters, numbers, symbols, ornaments or the like. The latter is particularly preferable when the bitter substance having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000 is applied by means of printing, and the printing medium contains a coloring matter in addition to the bitter substance having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000.

Alternativ zum Aufbringen auf die äußere Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung kann der Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 in das Folienmaterial der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung eingebracht werden.Alternatively, for application to the outer surface of the water-soluble wrapper, the bittering agent having a bitter value of between 1,000 and 200,000 may be incorporated in the film material of the water-soluble wrapper.

Als Bitterstoffe werden alle chemischen Verbindungen bezeichnet, die einen bitteren Geschmack aufweisen.Bitter substances are all chemical compounds that have a bitter taste.

Der Bitterstoff weist einen Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 auf. Der Bitterwert ist der Kehrwert jener Verdünnung eines Stoffes, einer Flüssigkeit oder eines Extraktes, die eben noch bitter schmeckt.The bitter substance has a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000. The bitterness is the inverse of the dilution of a substance, a liquid or an extract that just tastes bitter.

Zur Bestimmung des Bitterwertes wird das im Europäischen Arzneibuch (5. Ausgabe Grundwerk, Stuttgart 2005, Band 1 Allgemeiner Teil Monografiegruppen, 2.8.15 Bitterwert S. 278) beschriebene standardisierte Verfahren verwendet.The standardized method described in the European Pharmacopoeia (5th Edition, Grundwerk, Stuttgart 2005, Volume 1 General Part Monograph Groups, 2.8.15 Bitter Value, p. 278) is used to determine the bitterness value.

Als Vergleich dient eine wässrige Lösung von Chininhydrochlorid, dessen Bitterwert mit 200.000 festgelegt ist. Dies bedeutet, dass 1 Gramm Chininhydrochlorid 200 Liter Wasser bitter macht. Die interindividuellen Geschmacksunterschiede bei der organoleptischen Prüfung der Bitterkeit werden bei diesem Verfahren durch einen Korrekturfaktor ausgeglichen.As a comparison serves an aqueous solution of quinine hydrochloride whose bitterness value is set at 200,000. This means that 1 gram of quinine hydrochloride makes 200 liters of water bitter. The interindividual taste differences in the organoleptic test of bitterness are compensated by a correction factor in this method.

Geeignete Bitterstoffe mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000, welche in dem Folienmaterial zur Herstellung der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung enthalten oder auf der äußeren Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung aufgebracht sein können, sind vorzugsweise natürliche Bitterstoffe mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000. Insbesondere bevorzugt sind die natürlichen Bitterstoffe mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Glycosiden, Isoprenoiden, Alkaloiden, Aminosäuren und Mischungen daraus.Suitable bitter substances having a bitter value of between 1,000 and 200,000, which may be contained in the film material for producing the water-soluble casing or may be applied on the outer surface of the water-soluble casing, are preferably natural bitter substances having a bitter value of between 1,000 and 200,000. Particularly preferred are the natural bittering agents with a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000 selected from the Group consisting of glycosides, isoprenoids, alkaloids, amino acids and mixtures thereof.

Glycoside sind organische Verbindungen der allgemeinen Struktur R-O-Z, bei denen ein Alkohol (R-OH) über eine glycosidische Bindung mit einem Zuckerteil (Z) verbunden ist.Glycosides are organic compounds of the general structure R-O-Z, in which an alcohol (R-OH) is connected via a glycosidic bond with a sugar moiety (Z).

Isoprenoide sind Verbindungen, die sich formal von Isopren ableiten. Beispiele sind insbesondere Terpene und Terpenoide.Isoprenoids are compounds that formally derive from isoprene. Examples are in particular terpenes and terpenoids.

Geeignete Isoprenoide umfassen beispielsweise Sequiterpenlactone wie Absinthin, Artabsin, Cnicin, Lactucin, Lactucopikrin oder Salonitenolid, Monoterpen-Ketone (Thujone) wie beispielsweise α-Thujon oder β-Thujon, Tetranortriterpene (Limonoide) wie Desoxylimonen, Desoxylimonensäure, Limonin, Ichangin, Iso-Obacunonsäure, Obacunon, Obacunonsäure, Nomilin oder Nomilinsäure, Terpene wie Marrubin, Prämarrubin, Carnosol, Carnosolsäure oder Quassin.Suitable isoprenoids include, for example, sequiterpene lactones such as absinthine, artabsine, cnicine, lactucin, lactucopirrin or salzolidideolide, monoterpene ketones (thujones) such as α-thujone or β-thujone, tetranortriterpenes (limonoids) such as desoxylimones, deoxylmonic acid, limonin, ichangine, iso-obacunonic acid , Obacunone, obacunonic acid, nomiline or nomilinic acid, terpenes such as marrubin, premarubin, carnosol, carnosic acid or quassin.

Alkaloide bezeichnen natürlich vorkommende, chemisch heterogene, meist alkalische, stickstoffhaltige organische Verbindungen des Sekundärstoffwechsels, die auf den tierischen oder menschlichen Organismus wirken.Alkaloids refer to naturally occurring, chemically heterogeneous, mostly alkaline, nitrogen-containing organic compounds of secondary metabolism which act on the animal or human organism.

Geeignete Alkaloide sind beispielsweise Chininhydrochlorid, Chininhydrogensulfat, Chinindihydrochlorid, Chininsulfat, Columbin und Coffein.Suitable alkaloids are, for example, quinine hydrochloride, quinine hydrogen sulfate, quinine dihydrochloride, quinine sulfate, columbine and caffeine.

Besonders bevorzugte Bitterstoffe mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 sind Chininsulfat (Bitterwert = 10.000), Naringin (Bitterwert = 10.000), Saccharoseoctaacetat (Bitterwert = 100.000), Chininhydrochlorid und Mischungen daraus.Particularly preferred bitter substances having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000 are quinine sulfate (bitter value = 10,000), naringin (bitter value = 10,000), sucrose octaacetate (bitter value = 100,000), quinine hydrochloride and mixtures thereof.

Die Verwendung einer Mischung von Bitterstoffen kann vorteilhaft sein, da Menschen eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Geschmackszellen auf der Zunge aufweisen. Neben sogenannten Superschmeckern und Normalschmeckern gibt es auch so genannte Nichtschmecker, die einzelne Bitterstoffe gar nicht oder geringfügig schmecken. Durch Verwendung einer Mischung aus mindestens zwei Bitterstoffen mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 kann das Risiko, dass der abschreckend wirken sollende Bitterstoff gar nicht geschmeckt wird, reduziert werden. Die Menge an Bitterstoff mit einem Bitterwert zwischen 1.000 und 200.000 hängt insbesondere von der gewünschten Intensität des Bittergeschmacks ab. Ist der Bitterstoff in der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung enthalten, beträgt die Menge an Bitterstoff zwischen 1 und 30 g pro m2 Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung. Ist der Bitterstoff auf der äußeren Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung aufgebracht, beträgt die Menge an Bitterstoff zwischen 1 und 30 g pro m2 beschichteter Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung.The use of a mixture of bitter substances may be advantageous because humans have a different number of taste cells on the tongue. In addition to so-called super-tasters and normal gourmets, there are also so-called non-gourmets, the individual bitter substances do not taste or slightly. By using a mixture of at least two bittering agents with a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000, the risk of the bittering agent acting as a deterrent being not tasted at all can be reduced. The amount of bittering agent having a bitter value between 1,000 and 200,000 depends in particular on the desired intensity of the bitter taste. If the bittering agent is contained in the water-soluble coating, the amount of bittering agent is between 1 and 30 g per m 2 surface of the water-soluble coating. When the bittering agent is applied to the outer surface of the water-soluble wrapper, the amount of the bittering agent is from 1 to 30 g per m 2 of the coated surface of the water-soluble wrapper.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Anmeldung bedeutet der Begriff "innere Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung", die Oberfläche, die in Kontakt mit dem von der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung umschlossenen Mittel ist. Entsprechend benennt der Begriff "äußere Oberfläche der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung", die Oberfläche, die von dem von der wasserlöslichen Umhüllung umschlossenen Mittel abgewandt ist.In the context of the present application, the term "inner surface of the water-soluble casing" means the surface which is in contact with the means enclosed by the water-soluble casing. Accordingly, the term "outer surface of the water-soluble wrapper" designates the surface facing away from the means enclosed by the water-soluble wrapper.
