Gelatin soft capsules, manufactured by the press through package(PTP) process, are widely used in the production of multivitamin dietary supplements and other health functional foods. Gelatin capsules can prevent light and air from having a direct contact with the contents in the capsule, and the nutrients inside the capsules are preserved without any loss. In the present study, on the basis of the results on the safety of gelatin capsules. The parameters investigated included degradation of the capsules before their shelf life, capsule deformation, and changes in specific nutrients. Moisture and heat in the production and storage environments of the capsules caused the gelatin to swell and attach some of the inorganic salts in the vitamin contents. Nutritional component analysis showed that B1, B5, B9, and B12 contents were decreased, while mineral elemental analysis shown calcium, chloride, and zinc compound were found to be infused into the gelatin of the capsule shell.

The previous vitamin assays in soft capsules have been performed only with capsule contents. Since some vitamins, however, could migrate into gelatin layer of the soft capsules, each vitamin of multivitamin soft capsules in the market was analyzed simultaneously in both capsule content and gelatin layer. The results showed that migrations of nicotinamide and pyridoxine hydrochloride into gelatin layer were pronounced, while those of other vitamins were negligible.

상업적으로 유통되는 젤라틴 캡슐 제품은 소비자의 건강(예: 광우병) 및 종교적 신념에 대한 우려를 야기시킬 수 있다. 젤라틴은 대부분 소, 돼지 등에서 유래한 원료물질을 가공한 것으로서, 가공 후 그 원료 물질을 분석하는 것은 대단히 어렵다. 따라서 정부 규제기관의 표시사항 준수여부 모니터링 연구가 주기적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 인터넷에 유통되는 건강기능식품(n = 181)을 대상으로 젤라틴 캡슐의 원료 물질을 종 특이 PCR 방법으로 분석했다. 55개 제품의 경우 표시사항에 젤라틴 캡슐원료 물질에 대한 정보를 명시하였으나(예: bovine-, fish-and plant-derived gelatin), 126개 제품의 경우 사용 원료에 대한 정보 없이 "gelatin"으로 표시하였다. 이 126개 제품의 젤라틴 캡슐 분석 결과 51개 제품은 소 유래의 젤라틴을, 31개 제품은 돼지 유래의 젤라틴을, 그리고 44개 제품은 소와 돼지의 원료를 혼합하여 제작한 블렌딩 젤라틴을 사용한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 소비자의 알 권리, 종교적 신념 및 건강을 보호하기 위해 젤라틴 캡슐에 사용된 원료 물질을 표시사항에 제공하는 것은 매우 중요하다.

Gelatin is a high molecular weight polypeptide derived fro mcollgen, theprimary protein component of animal connective tissues, which include bone, skin and tendon. Gelatin is usually produced from two different sources of raw materials (skins or bones) which are processed in two ways(line or acid). According to this pretreatment, gelatin can be divided into elatin type A(acid) and B(lime). The market is essentially driven by thre demand sectors: food, harmaceuticals(capsules) and photography. Although there is some potential threat in the photography sector, the oher tow sectors are well placed for futher growth.

Stability is impaired in capsules in which there is a transfer of water vapor from capsule to the contents of the capsules. The water vapor transfer between AEA-coated capsules and corn starch, magnesium trisilicate in the closed container was examined. Experimental eguilibrium relative humidity after water vapor transfer and estimated values calculated from a formula of these substances were in close agreement with each other.

Water vapor sorption of corn starch in various protective film coated capsules in 100% RH chamber for 14 days were as follows: The percent of water vapor sorption were 28.63% in uncoated capsule, 25.16% in hydroxy propylcellulose(HPC) coated capsule, 15.59% in 2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine-methyl acrylated-methacrylic acid (MPM) coated capsule and 15.50% in polyvinyl acetal diethyl amino acetate(AEA) coated capsule. 2. Water vapor sorotion of magnesium trisilicate in various protective film coated capsules in 100% RH chamber for 14 days were as follows. The percent of water vapor sorption were 13.91% in uncoated capsule, 13.30% in HPC-coated capsule, 10.87% in MPM-caated capsule and 9.9% in AEA-coated capsule. 3. Water vapor sorption of magnesium carbonate in various protective film coated capsules in 100% RH chamber for 14 days were as follows: The percent of water vapor sorption were 12.48% in uncoated capsule, 10.72% in HPC-coated capsule, 8.10% in MPM coated capsule and 7.8% in AEA-coated capsule. 4. MPM-coated capsules and AEA-canted capsules were mere effective to protect water vapor sorption than HPC-coated capsules.

본 연구는 프탈산히드록시메틸셀룰로오스를 장용성 기제로 이용하여 오메가-3 지방산이 충진된 연질캡슐을 코팅조건에 따른 연질캡슐의 표면에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. HPMCP 농도, 코팅분사 액량 및 흡기 온도를 변화시켜 장용코팅 시 캡슐표면의 백색도를 측정 비교한 결과, 코팅분사 액량이 감소할수록 흡기 온도가 증가할수록 백색도가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 붕해시험으로 코팅 후 캡슐이 장용 특성을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 주사전자현미경으로 미세구조를 관찰한 결과, 피막에 균일하게 HPMCP가 코팅이 된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 HPMCP를 이용하여 오메가-3 연질캡슐의 장용코팅 효과를 확인할 수 있었으며, 투명도가 높은 코팅표면을 얻을 수 있는 코팅 조건을 확인할 수 있었다.

A Softgel is an oral dosage form for medicine similar to capsules and softgel dosage form offers several advantages over other oral dosage forms, such as delivering a liquid matrix designed to solubilize and improve the oral bioavailability of a poorly soluble compound as a unit dose solid dosage form, delivering low and ultra-low doses of a compound. This study aimed to qualify a proprietary vegetable soft capsule which contains modified starch and carrageenan as capsule shell components compare to the conventional gelatin softgel. Four kinds of samples were prepared with vegetable and gelatin capsule shell, respectively. Morphology of capsule shell, mechanical strength of capsule, and hygroscopic properties were studied for comparing the quality attributes of softgel. Short-term stability against heat and moisture was also investigated in this study. Vegetable capsule shell showed better mechanical strength, physical stability and disintegration time for temperature and humidity than those of conventional gelatin capsule shell with four different filling materials used frequently as soft capsule form. Conclusively, this vegetable capsule shell polymer system can replace easily gelatin-shell systems and additionally allows encapsulation of lipid fills at high temperatures that are semisolid or solid-like at room temperature.

궐련벌레(Lasioderma serricorne F)가 제품담배내 오염되었을때의 방제방법으로 감마선 이용법을 선전 방제효과를 조사하였다. Gelatin capsules에 공시충을 넣은 다음 감마선을 조사해 본 결과 0.8kGy이상의 선량에서 난태는 모두 살충되었고 용태나 성충때 및 유충태는 0~30%가 살충되었다. 몇가지 제품담배값내에 공시충을 함유한 gelatin capsules이 삽입된 궐련을 넣은후 감마선 조사시의 궐련벌레 충태별 방제효과도 동일한 결과를 얻었다. 감마선의 영향을 받은 궐련벌레의 성충 및 유충태를 인공먹이로 사육해 본 결과 차세대 개체군 증식이 확인되지 않았다. 감마선에 노출된 궐련벌레의 각 충태는 선량이 높아질수록 생존기간이 짧아졌으며 4령 유충이 처리 공시충중 가장 오래 생존하였다. 감마선에 노출된 제품담배의 고유향기나 맛은 선량 증가에도 영향을 받지 않았다. 감마선이 처리된 제품담배의 포갑지나 궐련지 및 은박지 등은 고유의 색도 또한 변화하지 않았다.

Solid dispersions were used to increase the dissolution rate of biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) in water, with the ultimate goal of optimizing its bioavailability when incoporated into pharmaceuticals. Carriers used were Kollidon 30, Kollidon VA 64, 2-hydroxypropyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (HPCD), sodium salicylate or sodium benzoate. DDB solid dispersions were prepared at drug to carrier proportions ranging from 1 : 5 to 1 : 20 (w/w) by solvent evaporation method. DDB tablets (7.5 mg) were prepared by compressing the powder mixture composed of solid dispersions, lactose, corn starch, crospovidone and magnesium stearate using a single-punch press. DDB capsules (7.5 mg) were prepared by filing the mixture into empty hard gelatin capsules (size #1). Dissolution studies of DDB from powdered solid dispersions, tablets and capsules were performed in 900 $m\ell$ of water at 100 rpm and 37$^{\circ}C$ by the paddle method. The dissolved amount was assayed by HPLC and expressed as the mean(%)of three determinations.
