Soft capsule is a capsule packaging method, which is a capsule made by processing sealing liquid or liquid in soft capsule material, and is often used in medical or health food. So what are the main types of soft capsule processing?

1. Solid-liquid suspension soft capsule

The contents of solid-liquid suspension soft capsules are formed by dispersing insoluble particles in liquid.

2. Content of water-soluble soft capsules

The general content base is vegetable oil, and the water-soluble soft capsule contains a water base, which is suitable for active ingredients that are insoluble in oil and products that are soluble in water. These softgels break down to release the active ingredients as a solution for rapid absorption.

3. Enteric-coated soft capsules

Since the soft capsules are packaged or treated with a rubber shell, they do not dissolve in the stomach, collapse in the intestinal fluid and release the soft capsules containing the active ingredient. It is suitable for the manufacture of enteric-coated soft capsules, which are highly irritating to the stomach or easily damage the environment of gastric juice.

4. Instant soft capsules

In the mouth or in some cases, the rubber dissolves quickly, releasing a soft capsule containing the active ingredient.

5. Emulsified soft capsule

After the emulsified soft capsule is dissolved in the body, the ingredients released from the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously form an oil-in-water microemulsion smaller than 100nm, forming these small oil droplets, which are quickly distributed in the gastrointestinal tract to increase the solubility of active ingredients and improve the bioavailability of the product.

The above is all about the five types of soft capsules processed by soft capsules, I hope it will be helpful to you.
