Multi-vitamin mineral soft capsule being rich in alpha-linolenic acid and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of processing of soft capsules. A majority of existing nutrient preparations are tables which purely supplement vitamin minerals, and therefore, the existing nutrient preparations are not suitable for meeting the needs of special populations like pregnant women. Based on the problems in the prior art, the invention discloses the multi-vitamin mineral soft capsule being rich in alpha-linolenic acid and the preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, by using beewax and single-and-bis-glycerol aliphatic acid ester as auxiliaries, an alpha-linolenic acid rich mixture of linseed oil and walnut oil is uniformly mixed with a mixture of the multi-vitamin minerals so as to obtain a stable inclusion; then preparing a gelatin solution; finally, compressing the prepared gelatin solution and the inclusion on a soft capsule compressing machine into gelatin pills so as to obtain the soft capsule. The formulaof the soft capsule has scientific design, and covers the necessary multi-vitamin minerals and alpha-linolenic acid required by a human body, and the soft capsule is easy to store and carry; therefore, the multi-vitamin mineral soft capsule is particularly applied to intake of nutrition for kids and teenagers, middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a soft capsule and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a multi-vitamin and mineral soft capsule rich in α-linolenic acid and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of soft capsule processing. Background technique [0002] α-linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which is the core substance of life. It is an essential fatty acid that maintains human evolution and maintains good health. The human body cannot synthesize it by itself, and can only be taken from food to meet the body's needs. α-linolenic acid in the human liver, under the action of desaturases and elongases, can be converted into essential life active factors for the human body - EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid, commonly known as vascular scavenger) and DHA (20 Dicosahexaenoic acid, commonly known as brain gold). After more than 50 years of research on α-linolenic acid by scientists around the world, it has been found that α-l...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Most of the existing nutrient preparations on the market are tablets that simply supplement vitamins and minerals. Multivitamin and mineral tablets contain fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and water-soluble vitamin B complex and other vitamins and minerals. , can help the human body to supplement a variety of vitamins and minerals. However, the human body can only supplement a variety of vitamins and minerals when taking this preparation. On the other hand, in order to ensure the compressibility, aesthetics and certain physical indicators of the tablet, about 20-50% of auxiliary materials are added during the formulation design process, including disintegrants, lubricants, fillers, colorants, Anti-caking agents, etc., long-term use of some excipients will have certain side effects on the human body, so it is of great significance to design a capsule preparation that can supplement multiple vitamins, minerals and α-linolenic acid at the same time

[0004] However, since the multivitamin and mineral preparations containing α-linolenic acid contain many nutrients, the research on the influencing factors between the components is complicated. If the minerals and α-linolenic acid contained in the preparation are not properly handled during production It will also lead to relatively serious delamination and leakage, which limits the further research and development of soft capsules in the field of such preparations. There are no related reports on multivitamin and mineral preparation soft capsules containing α-linolenic acid.
