Advances in Researches of New Capsule Materials for Vegetable Gum Soft Capsules
which are made by vegetable gum replacing the gelatin as the capsule shell
are called vegetable gum soft capsules.With the deep application of gelatin soft capsule
its disadvantages become more prominent
so it is necessary to find a new capsule material for the development of soft capsule.Currently
vegetable gum soft capsules has made some progress with many patent applications
but few mature products come into the market.Based on consulting a large number of related literatures of vegetable gum soft capsules in recent years
this paper classified five kinds of soft capsule materials which has mature research
including the research status of carrageenan
starch
mannan gum
xanthan gum and sodium alginate
and their gel mechanism and advantages are discussed.Therefore
this article will discuss with the prospect of its application prospects and proposing further research
provide a reference for the development and application of new vegetable gum soft capsules.A variety of excellent performance of vegetable gum soft capsules were mixed to make up for the defects when used alone
thereby expanding the scope of use of vegetable gum soft capsules and improving its performance.
