Abstract:
An object is to provide a method of manufacturing a soft capsule that is enteric and excellent in formulation properties. An enteric soft capsule is manufactured by the following steps (a) and (b): (a) preparing an enteric capsule shell liquid comprising gelatin and low methoxyl pectin having a degree of amidation of 5 to 25%, and (b) encapsulating capsule fills using the enteric capsule shell liquid prepared in the step (a) by stamping. Preferably, the jelly strength of the gelatin is 160 to 300 Bloom, the degree of esterification of the low methoxy pectin is 20 to 40%, and the enteric capsule shell liquid comprises 30 to 35 parts by mass of the low methoxy pectin per 100 parts by mass of the gelatin.
