Benefits of technology

This patent aims to improve the quality and efficiency of soft capsule production. The invention eliminates the need for a separate drying process that affects the quality of the pullulan used in soft capsules. By integrating the production of the pullulan raw material with soft capsule production, the method improves efficiency and reduces costs. This approach also reduces material consumption, saves time, and increases productivity. Overall, this invention guarantees a more stable and high-quality soft capsule production.

Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, these improvements may decrease material consumption, save the cost of equipment and labor, reduce production time and increase productivity.

Abstract

A method for the production of pullulan soft capsules eliminates the need to dry pullulan solid product, thereby reducing the equipment cost and energy consumption. The pullulan raw material production can be linked directly with the soft capsule production to provide a unique approach for soft capsule formation. The purified pullulan fermentation fluid can be directly used in soft capsule preparation, thus removing the need for a melting process. On the one hand, the method can decrease material consumption, save the cost of equipment and labor, reduce production time and increase productivity. On the other hand, the method can reduce the fluctuating of raw material quality in the re-melting process and guarantee a more stable soft capsule production and quality.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]Embodiments of the invention relates generally to capsule production methods. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for the production of soft capsules formed from pullulan, from raw material to final product.2. Description of Prior Art and Related Information[0002]The following background information may present examples of specific aspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts, or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.[0003]Pullulan is a polysaccharide polymer of a maltotriose trimer made up of α-(1→6)-linked (1→4)-α-d-triglucosides, also known as α-1,4-α-1,6-glucan. Three glucose units in maltotriose are connected by an α-1,4 glycosidic bond, whereas consecu...
