  • Non-gelatin soft capsule system
    Patent number: 8377470
    Abstract: A non-gelatin encapsulation system for liquid filled soft capsules, by nature of the carrier, the cationic-ionic balance of the carrier and the active ingredients, or the concentration of the active ingredients and excipients, are difficult or impossible to commercially encapsulate in gelatin capsules. In particular, the system is adapted for the encapsulation of highly basic, or alkaline, fills. The system provides for a predominantly starch and gelling carrageenan based shell, which displays high resistance to both concentrated fills and to alkaline fills, in particular, to those fills which contain the salt or salts of weak acids and strong bases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2012
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
    Assignee: R.P. Scherer Technologies, LLC
