Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject preparation capable of improving the solubility and insolubilization-preventing property of a coating film and simultaneously capable of preventing the mutual adhesion of the capsules or the adhesion of the capsule to a container, the deformation or discoloration of the coating film, and the fading of contents by adding a specific modified gelatin, a polyglucose, etc., as the components of the coating film. SOLUTION: This soft capsule contains a modified gelatin (preferably succinic acid-modified gelatin) obtained by modifying the amino group in the molecule of gelatin with an organic acid, and one or more kinds of substances selected from polyglucoses (preferably starch such as corn starch, cellulose) and their derivatives and processed products. The processed product of the polyglucose is preferably partially or wholly gelatinized starch obtained by heating the starch together with water. The preparation is useful as a soft vitamin ADE capsule, an encapsulated bathing agent, etc.

(Example C) (Tables 9 and 11) Example C (C1 to C3) is a starch obtained by fully or partially pregelatinizing various starches (corn starch was used in Example C). The applicability of pregelatinized starch and partially pregelatinized starch to the present invention was confirmed.

The "pregelatinized starch" and the "partially pregelatinized starch" are powdery or granular materials obtained by heating starch together with water to partially or partially gelatinize the starch and then drying it. Yes, it is commercially available in that state. And the pregelatinization of starch is to make starch-like sol solution by heating starch with water,
It is to modify starch.

As a result, in Example C1 using pregelatinized starch, it is considered that the effect of preventing adhesion and the effect of preventing discoloration are not sufficient (because the film becomes transparent). However, even when pregelatinized starch or partially pregelatinized starch is employed as the starch of the present invention, the basic effects of the present invention can be maintained. In these Examples C1 and C2, there is a possibility that a part of gelatin succinate (or gelatin in a general formulation) can be replaced by gelatinized starch due to the thickening effect of gelatinized starch.

(Example D) (Tables 10 and 11) In Example D (D1 to D3), various starches (corn starch, waxy starch, tapioca starch) or a mixture thereof were used, and they were prepared in advance in the film preparation stage. By heating with water, pregelatinized starch was used. As a result, the basic action and effect of the present invention can be maintained even when starch pregelatinized at the time of preparing the film is employed as the starch of the present invention.
