A vegetable soft capsule

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine preparation and relates to a vegetative soft capsule made of vegetative sesbania gum as principle raw materials and other auxiliary materials added into the principle raw materials. Main ingredients of the vegetative soft capsule comprise the sesbania gum, pregelatinized starch, surface active agents and plasticizer. Firstly, purified water and the plasticizer are pumped into an aerosol tank and mixed and then the sesbania gum, the pregelatinized starch and film-forming agents are added; secondly, color agents and the surface active agents are added into a small amount of purified water reserved in advance and are also pumped into the aerosol tank after being dispersed evenly; thirdly, mixtures are heated and stirred until the sesbania gum is completely dissolved; fourthly, vacuum pumping is conducted until no bubbles exist; finally, the vegetative soft capsule is made and obtained in a conventional pressing method or a dropping method. The vegetative soft capsule has good film-forming properties and good toughness and elasticity, the disintegration time of the vegetative soft capsule can be shortened, the vegetative soft capsule is not prone to adhesion, capable of avoiding gum powder huddling and indissolvableness, simple in overall preparation process, safe, reliable, capable of saving raw materials and energy, reliable in product quality, good in use safety and friendly to production environment.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine preparation, and relates to a process technology for preparing natural vegetable soft capsules, in particular to a vegetable soft capsule prepared by adding other supplementary materials from vegetable quince gum as the main raw material. Background technique: [0002] At present, domestic soft capsules are mainly produced with gelatin as raw material. Gelatin is an excellent thermally reversible gelling agent. However, soft capsules made of gelatin usually have delayed disintegration, which is mainly due to the The gelatin in the gelatin is affected by low-molecular-weight aldehydes and the oxidation process, resulting in a cross-linking reaction that causes the aging of the gelatin. In addition, because gelatin is mostly extracted from the skin and bones of pigs and cattle, a considerable number of people in the world cannot use it. Pig products, eg: Hebrew, Muslim, Vegetarian, and gelatin pro...

[0002] At present, domestic soft capsules are mainly produced with gelatin as raw material. Gelatin is an excellent thermally reversible gelling agent. However, soft capsules made of gelatin usually have delayed disintegration, which is mainly due to the The gelatin in the gelatin is affected by low-molecular-weight aldehydes and the oxidation process, resulting in a cross-linking reaction that causes the aging of the gelatin. In addition, because gelatin is mostly extracted from the skin and bones of pigs and cattle, a considerable number of people in the world cannot use it. Pig products, eg: Hebrew, Muslim, Vegan, and gelatin products are not declared of their animal origin, thus limiting the use of gelatin

In recent years, mad cow disease has spread around the world, and gelatin has potential safety hazards to a certain extent. These have prompted people to study plant-based soft capsules to replace traditional gelatin capsules. However, the shells of existing plant-based soft capsules mostly use xanthan gum, karaage, etc. Gum and gum arabic, etc., these plant gums dissolve slowly in water, tend to form clusters to delay the dissolution rate, and have low production efficiency, which is not conducive to the actual operation of large-scale production. It is a new type of galactomannan gum discovered in the 1970s. It is now used as a food additive in food. Since the research on squash gum in China started relatively late, there are currently few applications of squash gum in the field of vegetable capsules. According to the research report, it was found that the proper proportion of safflower gum and other ingredients has good film-forming properties, and it can be used for plant capsules. Moreover, safflower gum has a great affinity for water and can be dispersed in In cold water, it absorbs many times its own volume of water to swell and produce hydration, forming a high-viscosity glue. Compared with other plant gums such as xanthan gum and carrageenan, squash gum dissolves quickly and easily in water. There will be no phenomenon that the clusters are not easy to dissolve, and it is more conducive to large-scale production operations
