Abstract
A soft gelatin capsule agent and capsule made with the agent. Gelatin, typically derived from fish sources, and having sol-gel transition temperatures within certain parameters, is formulated with at least one plasticizer and at least one anti-adhesion agent. Another preferred embodiment includes partially pregelatinized starch. The plasticizer may comprise polyols, particularly glycerin, sorbitol, and mixtures thereof. The anti-adhesion agent may comprise starch. Colorants may be optionally added to the mixture. The shell of the capsules manufactured from the agent may have varied water content and may optionally receive a surface coating of dusted maerial, typically starch, and more particularly potato or corn starch, to reduce the tendency of the capsules to stick to one another during storage. The capsules may be filled with a wide range of foodstuffs, medicaments, and other substances.
