Problems solved by technology

Existing soft capsules and their preparation have the following deficiencies: (1) the chewability is not ideal, and the stability is relatively poor; at present, it is mainly increased by adding plasticizers, polymer modifiers and water to the formula. Its chewing performance, for example, US Patent US6280767 discloses a chewable soft capsule, which keeps the capsule soft by increasing the amount of plasticizer, wherein gelatin in the rubber prescription: plasticizer=100:100~600 ; U.S. Patent US20050136104 discloses a chewable soft capsule, which keeps the capsule soft by maintaining a high moisture content, wherein the water content in the rubber is as high as 27%; patent WO2011014942 discloses a chewable soft capsule , the soft capsule maintains a certain softness and water-locking property by adding 10-20% starch in the rubber, so that the rubber is easy to chew; although the above-mentioned technology can obtain a certain improvement in its chewing performance and rubber softness, but At the same time, it will also cause the soft capsules to be deformed or bonded due to mutual extrusion, thereby affecting the shelf life of the product; (2) The taste is not good; due to the smell of the rubber itself, and the content accounts for 60-90% of the weight of the whole capsule , the bad smell of some raw materials in the content will greatly affect the taste when people take it
In the prior art, β-glucan is mainly used as a moisturizing agent in the preparation process of soft capsules, and its effect of improving immunity has not been fully applied

Abstract

The invention discloses a capsule skin of a chewable soft capsule with immune enhancing effect and a soft capsule prepared therefrom. The capsule skin of the present invention is composed of gelatin, glycerin, purified water, sweetener, natural flavoring agent, and β-glucan according to the mass ratio of 25~35:10~20:25~35:5~15:0.5~ 3: 0.5~5 preparation; during preparation, the flavoring agent is first dissolved in purified water and then blended with β-glucan, ultrasonically treated, and then the ultrasonicated β-glucan solution is mixed with the rest of the components, dissolved , melt glue, make glue solution, adopt conventional process to make capsule skin with this glue solution again. With the formulation of the capsule skin of the present invention, the capsule skin obtained by the preparation method has high chewability, stability, and moisture retention. Ultrasonic treatment can also balance the smell of the rubber skin and the taste of the contents, and exert the enhancement of β-glucan. Immunity function, the chewable soft capsule prepared with the capsule skin has good softness, chewiness and mouthfeel, and after the soft capsule is broken, the capsule skin can be quickly dissolved or dispersed, and is easy to swallow.
