Softgel Capsule Filling Machine – a Perfect Way for Outer covering of the Capsule The softgel consists of two parts. One is the soft gelatin outer cover of the capsule & the other is the "fill". The outer covering is made of gelatin & a plasticizer like glycerin & water. The shell might also contain certain additives for color, or preservatives. The gelatin is produced from animal skin & bones, such as bovine. The properties of gelatin allow it to dissolve in hot water, expand at heated high temperature and solidify into a gel at cooler temperatures. Since gelatin consists mostly of protein & dissolves readily in the intestinal tract, it thus frees active ingredients for earlier dissolution & absorption. Gelatin has no taste, no odor, & no color & hence is able to mask disagreeable odors & tastes of active ingredients. The hermetic seal prevents any oxidation and permeation of odor and taste of active ingredients.
Softgels can be transparent or opaque. Opacity is beneficial when raw ingredients are light-sensitive, where exposure to light can alter their stability. Softgels allow for enteric coating. Enteric means anything related to the small intestine. Enteric coating forms a barrier that breaks down active ingredients only in the small intestine. This is particularly beneficial in the production of fish oil supplements. It allows the capsule to be broken down in the small intestine thus reducing fishy after-burps often associated with the digestion of fish oil in the stomach. The air- tight, hermetic seal of soft gel capsules also prevents fish oil from becoming rancid due to oxidation.
