Abstract: A process for preparing a polymer-coated hard shell capsule can be performed. The hard shell capsule has a body and a cap. In the closed state the cap overlaps the body either in a pre-locked state or in a final-locked state. The hard shell capsule is provided in the pre-locked state and coated with a coating solution, suspension or dispersion that has at least one polymer; at least one glidant; at least one emulsifier; optionally at least one plasticizer; optionally at least one biologically active ingredient; and optionally at least one additive, different from the above. The process is used to obtain a coated, preferably only at the outer surface, hard shell capsule in the pre-locked state, wherein the coating solution, suspension or dispersion has a surface tension of at most 38 mN/m. The polymer-coated hard shell capsule obtained from the process is used for immediate, delayed or sustained release.

Abstract: A composition suitable as coating or binding agent for pharmaceutically, nutraceutically or cosmetically active ingredients includes: a) at least one (meth)acrylate copolymer a), including polymerized units of 5-25% by weight of methacrylic acid and 75-95% by weight of C1-4-alkylesters of methacrylic acid and/or C1-4-alkylesters of acrylic acid, and b) 1-25% by weight, based on the total weight of at least one (meth)acrylate copolymer a), of an alkali or ammonium salt of a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having 10 to 30 carbon atoms, and c) or d) or both c) and d) c) 2-25% by weight, based on the total weight of a), of at least one compound selected from glyceryl tristearate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, glyceryl behenate, and glyceryl monostearate and/or d) 25-90% by weight, based on the total weight of a), of at least one selected from talc, rice hulls in powder form, magnesium stearate, corn starch, and microcrystalline cellulose.

Abstract: A method of unambiguous identification and authentication of products for the purpose of better recognition of product forgeries and controlling product piracy, including applying to/into the product an identification substance admixture which contains paramagnetic phases or identifying a product which contains an identification substance admixture containing paramagnetic phases and has an ESR fingerprint spectrum that permits unambiguous identification of the product. Such an ESR fingerprint spectrum is easily measurable, but can be copied or forged only with difficulty. The method relates to an individualizable “femto tag” for femto ledgers and forms an important interface for what are known as “Internet of Things” (IOT).

Abstract: The invention provides preparations comprising at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid salt for use in enhancing the solubility in aqueous media for a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical active ingredient in comparison to the pharmaceutical or nutraceutical active ingredient alone by at least 100%, preferably at least 300%. Moreover, a method for preparing a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical dosage form comprising at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid salt and at least one pharmaceutical or nutraceutical active ingredient is disclosed.

Abstract: A process prepares a polymer powder, with a D50 particle size from 40 to 200 ?m and a Hausner factor of 1.25 or less, by freeze drying and subsequent loosening up of an aqueous polymer dispersion containing 15 to 50% by weight of a polymer. The polymer is polymerized from 10 to 30% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 50 to 70% by weight of methyl acrylate, and 5 to 15% by weight of methacrylic acid.
