Abstract: Soft gelatin capsules having a capsule shell comprising gelatin, plasticizers and, if desired or required, further auxiliary agents, and a capsule filling containing a solvent including a migrateable solvent such as 1,2-propyleneglycol as a solvent in the capsule filling and in the capsule shell. The manufacture of said capsules is improved, if in the process for making the soft gelatin capsules the gelatin bands are cooled with a liquid, and preferably with water.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for sorting capsules of hard or soft gelatin, starch or another material, for faultless and faulty capsules. In the apparatus, capsules are first fed from a supply container holders in a control station, then conveyed in the capsule holders through individual control positions in the control station where they are observed using cameras. The images acquired by the cameras are evaluated to determine production faults in the capsules. The faulty capsules are finally ejected from the control station separately from faultless capsules.

Abstract: A formed or molded body, a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus therefor, wherein several equal or different active ingredients in suitable, equal or different carrier substances are filled at the same time side-by-side without a partition into a uniform enclosure or envelope to provide a formed or molded body with uniform outer appearance and with separate inner regions.

Abstract: Oral garlic preparations contain garlic powder as well as the enzyme allinase, in which each of the components is spatially separated from the other and are recombined only after having been orally administered.

Abstract: Gelatin capsules, consisting of a capsule sheath and a capsule filling, the capsule sheath consisting of gelatin, optionally a plasticizer and further additives, and the capsule filling containing active substances and/or dietectic agents and, optionally, further additives and a liquid or powder, in the capsule sheath additionally contain an additive of at least 1% by weight of an agent which in the pure state is capable of absorbing water in an amount of at least 10% by weight of its own weight without undergoing a change in its appearance.
