A kind of mixed gum chewable soft capsule and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a mixed gum chewing type soft capsule and a preparation method thereof. The capsule skin of the soft capsule is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 20-40% of gellan gum, 10-15% of dextrin, 5-15% of gelatin, 15-30% of glycerol, 4-10% of a thickening agent, 10-20% of deionized water and 10-15% of a flavoring agent; and the content of the capsule is liquid or a semisolid medicament, a health food or a food. The capsule skin of the capsule disclosed by the invention takes a mixed gum consisting of the gellan gum, the gelatin and the dextrin as a gum base, wherein the gellan gum is the main component and is compounded with the gelatin to obtain the gum base, the gelling performance of the gum base has a synergistic effect, and the dextrin is beneficial for forming a gel with a stable structure; and the thickening agent is used for controlling syneresis and reducing the brittleness of the gum base, and the flavoring agent is used for increasing the mouthfeel and good smell while solving a hydration problem of the gellan gum. The mixed gum chewing type soft capsule is good in temperature resistance, suitable in capsule skin strength, thickness and toughness, and good in chewing property and mouthfeel, is difficult to deform and generate adhesion and oil leakage, and is high in stability and convenient to store and transport, and the product shelf life is prolonged.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a soft capsule, in particular to a mixed gum chewing soft capsule and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of medicine or food or health food or preparation. Background technique [0002] Chewable soft capsules are soft capsules that can be chewed. Compared with traditional capsule preparations, chewable soft capsules have good chewability and are easy to take. They are affected by the elderly, children and patients who have difficulty swallowing traditional soft capsules. Like it, but the existing chewable soft capsules have poor chewability, insufficient temperature resistance, and are prone to capsule deformation, adhesion, and oil leakage. The stability is not high and the product shelf life is not long. [0003] Patent US6280767, WO2011014942, ZL00806658.2 respectively disclose soft chewable capsules with animal gum as the gum base, and maintain a certain degree of softness by increasing the amount of pl...

Problems solved by technology

In the prior art, there is also gellan gum and gelatin compounded as the gum base to prepare the capsule skin of the soft capsule, but gelatin accounts for a large proportion in the formula, and the amount of gellan gum added is usually used as an auxiliary material, and the amount added is very small. It is small and mostly plays the role of thickener in the formula. Therefore, the prepared soft capsules still cannot completely solve their deficiencies in chewability, temperature resistance, stability, and shelf life.
