The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of film-forming materials used for capsules, and in particular relates to a preparation method of capsules with high
water retention. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing sphagna fibers by adopting sphagna as a
raw material, enabling the sphagna fibers to react with
chloroacetic acid under the existence of alkali, thus etherified sphagna fibers are prepared, carrying out mixing for gum dissolving on the etherified sphagna fibers,
potato starch plant gum, water and
sorbitol, and placing the obtained product in an empty
capsule making
machine, so that the capsules with high
water retention are prepared. Sphagna is a pure
natural product, the use of sphagna can improve the
water retention of the capsules prepared by adopting the method, so that the
shelf life is prolonged,
chloroacetic acid and the sphagna fibers react under the existence of alkali, then the etherified sphagna fibers are prepared, further, the etherified sphagna fibers form an
adhesive solution after being dissolved in water, in addition,
potato starch plant gum has the
water retention function,
sorbitol also has the water retentionfunction, meanwhile,
sorbitol is less volatile polyhydric
alcohol, and is a good stabilizer, thus the prepared capsules have the excellent water retention and good stability, and have a wide application prospect.
