Menthol-containing potato starch capsule shell

Abstract

The invention discloses a potato starch capsule shell containing menthol, which belongs to pharmaceutical or food processing; it aims to provide a starch capsule with good palatability, cool taste, antiemetic and antibacterial effects, and increased comfort in the oral cavity and stomach shell. It is prepared from potato starch and auxiliary materials: menthol, enhancer, plasticizer, food coloring, lubricant, disintegrant, surfactant, diluent, antioxidant, filler, flavoring agent: disperse potato starch Heating in water to obtain gelatinized glue; add the auxiliary materials and stir evenly to obtain dipping glue; ensure that the temperature of the dipping glue is 72-75°C, the temperature of the rubber plate is 45-48°C, and the temperature of the drying tunnel is 62-65°C ℃; dip in the glue solution to decompress and defoam, then use the glue dipping method to prepare the capsule shell, and dry for 48 hours.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a capsule shell, in particular to a capsule shell with potato starch as the main raw material; it belongs to the field of pharmacy or food processing. Background technique [0002] Capsule shell is an egg-shaped hollow shell used to hold solid powder particles. The contents it holds enter the digestive system of the human body together and can be dissolved quickly, reliably and safely; it is mainly used in the fields of medicine and health food, and can solve the problem of Difficult to drink medicine, bad taste, stomach upset. [0003] At present, most widely used capsule shells are processed from gelatin. In order to reduce production costs, many companies use low-quality blue vitriol hide glue as the raw material for the production of medicinal hollow capsules. Not only does the bacterial content seriously exceed the standard, but it also contains high levels of carcinogens such as metallic chromium. In addition, gelatin i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In order to reduce production costs, many companies use low-quality blue vitriol skin glue as the raw material for the production of medicinal hollow capsules. Not only the bacteria content seriously exceeds the standard, but also there are high levels of carcinogens such as metallic chromium

In addition, gelatin is easy to cross-link with drugs containing aldehydes, reducing sugar-syl compounds and vitamin C, which makes the water solubility of the gelatin shell worse, leading to the disintegration of the capsule shell and the delay in the dissolution of the capsule contents.

Third, gelatin is also prone to electrostatic charge accumulation under dry conditions, which has an impact on subsequent processing

Fourth, long-term storage in a low-humidity environment will cause gelatin to become brittle and cause capsules to break, etc.

Fifth, due to religious reasons, gelatin capsules are rejected by Muslims, Jews and vegetarians, which is not conducive to the promotion of capsule drugs

[0006] Traditional raw materials cannot meet the above requirements, but the unique function of menthol can solve the problems that traditional materials cannot solve

At present, no relevant literature has been found on capsule shells that use potato starch as the main raw material and contain menthol.
