The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a soft
capsule containing (R)-3-
hydroxybutyric acid. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, mixing an (R)-3-
hydroxybutyric acid solution with a porous material,
drying and sieving to obtain composite
solid powder; wherein the porous material is selected from any one of gel
silicon dioxide,
porous starch and
isomaltitol; s2, adding a
thickening agent into an oily
solvent, dissolving, then sequentially adding an
antioxidant and the composite
solid powder, and uniformly mixing to obtain a soft
capsule content; and S3, under a heating condition, mixing
glycerol, water,
gelatin and an opacifying agent, dissolving and defoaming to obtain a
capsule skin glue solution, pelleting the capsule
skin glue solution and the soft capsule content through a pelleting
machine, and
drying to obtain the soft capsule. The soft capsule prepared by the method disclosed by the invention can effectively avoid the
corrosion effect of (R)-3-
hydroxybutyric acid on the capsule shell, is beneficial to improving the stability, and is simple in preparation process and suitable for industrial production.
