Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a capsule anti-sticking agent which can provide excellent anti-sticking effect on a soft capsule without impairing various properties such as water activity, disintegration property and safety, a coated soft capsule of high quality which is coated with the capsule anti-sticking agent and excels in anti-sticking effect, and an efficient method for manufacturing the coated soft capsule. The present invention includes a capsule anti-sticking agent containing an enzymatically decomposed lecithin, a coated soft capsule wherein a surface is coated with the capsule anti-sticking agent, and a method for manufacturing the coated soft capsule in which a surface of a soft capsule is coated with the capsule anti-sticking agent.

Abstract: There is provided a marking method that is highly productive and enables production of easily-identifiable compositions for use in oral administration such as drugs and foods without damaging the quality of the oral composition. The marking method according to the present invention is a method for marking such a composition for use in oral administration and includes the steps of: dispersing a change in color-inducing oxide in the composition for use in oral administration; and scanning a surface of the composition for use in oral administration with a laser beam at wavelengths of from 200 nm to 1100 nm and with from 0.1 W to 50 W average power in to make the particles of the change in color-inducing oxide agglomerate so as to become discolored. The change in color-inducing oxide used in the present invention is at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, yellow ferric oxide, and red ferric oxide.
