However, since the alkali-treated gelatin, which is usually used for capsules, is not completely compatible with agar, the obtained capsules do not always have both gelatin and agar as expected. It does not combine properties. Further, the aqueous solution for the capsule film in which these are dissolved separates with time, and it is difficult to continuously obtain capsules of constant quality, and the above problems have not been practically solved.

The inventor of the present invention has conducted extensive studies on commonly used agar and alkali-processed gelatin, and obtained acid-processed gelatin, chemically modified gelatin, or a mixture of both, as the gelatin to be mixed. In order to prevent the capsules from becoming insoluble over time, all or part of the gelatin material should be chemically modified gelatin, and a gelatin insolubilizer such as an organic acid, an amino acid or a reducing agent should be added. It was found to be effective. The capsule according to the present invention is a capsule in which agar and gelatin are completely compatible with each other and do not separate over time, and have the characteristics of both gelatin and agar, and the disintegration time of the film increases over time. It provides a consistent quality capsule.

On the other hand, chemically modified gelatin refers to one obtained by reacting an amino group of gelatin with various substances to change the characteristics of gelatin, and is generally produced by reacting with succinic acid, phthalic acid, acetic acid and the like. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Further, as long as it is chemically modified gelatin, it is not necessary to use acid-treated gelatin, and alkali-modified gelatin chemically modified can be used. The physical properties of any gelatin are not particularly limited, but those having a jelly strength of 150 to 300 bloom are preferable for production with a conventionally known capsule manufacturing machine.

When the chemically modified acid-modified gelatin and the chemically modified gelatin are mixed and used, when the chemically modified gelatin is the acid-processed gelatin, it is possible to mix them at any ratio without any problem. When the modified gelatin is an alkali-processed gelatin, care must be taken because the mixed solution becomes cloudy depending on the mixing ratio. In this case, the ratio of acid-treated gelatin to alkali-treated modified gelatin is preferably 40:60 to 60:40. However, both gelatins are more preferably 50:50 because if they exceed 50%, the white turbidity tends to be strong.

The gelatin insolubilizer is an organic acid, an amino acid, a reducing agent or the like and is not particularly limited as long as it prevents deterioration of the solubility of gelatin over time. Specific examples of the organic acid include fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid and hydrochloric acid, and specific examples of the amino acid include arginine, glycine and aspartic acid. The reducing agent mentioned here is a component that insolubilizes gelatin over time, and is a component that modifies the properties of reducing sugars such as galactose and xylose contained in agar in a trace amount. Specific examples include hydrogen iodide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and sulfite. These insolubilizers act effectively alone or in combination. The amount to be blended differs depending on the substances to be blended, and therefore it is not particularly limited, but is 0.5 with respect to the solid content weight of the agar and gelatin mixture, for example, in the case of citric acid which is an organic acid.
~ 5%, 0.5 for amino acid aspartic acid
~ 4%, 0.0 for reducing agent sodium sulfite
About 5% to 1% is good.

From the experimental results of Examples 1, 2 and 3, it was found that the disintegration property of the capsule depends on the blending amount of acid-treated gelatin and agar. Therefore, the disintegration time can be arbitrarily adjusted by the blending amount. In addition, in Examples 4 and 5 which are samples using gelatin chemically modified with succinic acid and Example 6 which is a sample containing aspartic acid, the time-dependent disintegration time after storage is longer than that before storage. can not see. Therefore, it is possible to set a disintegration time which is not influenced by PH in the living body and which does not prolong disintegration time with time, and it is particularly suitable as a capsule as an oral drug.
