Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of film-forming or gel-forming compositions, and more particularly to substitutes for mammalian-based gel forming materials used in the manufacture of softgels and gelcaps.
- Gelatin has a wide range of commercial utility.
- gelatin is used in wet processed photographic emulsions, pharmaceutical dosage forms, cosmetics (binder), and a wide range of food products.
- Gelatin has many useful physical and chemical properties that support this broad range of utility.
- Gelatin is manufactured by the hydrolysis of animal by-products that contain collagen. This is usually found in animal bones, skins, and connective tissue. The collagen containing material is heated in water and the liquor produced is concentrated and dried, leaving behind the colorless or pale yellow protein that constitutes the hydrophilic colloid material known as gelatin.
- the primary sources of gelatin are from bovine and swine animals. Additionally, fish and poultry are alternative small volume sources of gelatin.
- the source of gelatin can be a problem for potential areas of use or for particular consumers. Large groups around the world choose not to ingest any products of pigs (e.g., vegetarians, Hebrews, and Muslims) or the products of beef (e.g., vegetarians and Malawis). As medication and/or diet supplements are provided in gelatin capsules without any indication of the source of the gelatin, the use of capsules is restricted in areas where religious beliefs question the source of the gelatin.
- Carrageenan is a natural hydrocolloid, more particularly a polysaccharide hydrocolloid, which is derived from red seaweed, particularly of the species Rhodophycea.
- Carrageenan is a carbohydrate polymer of repeating galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose (sugar) units that is linear and without significant numbers of branches or substitutions. Most, if not all, of the galactose units on a carrageenan molecule possess a sulfated ester group. The exact position of the sulfate groups, the cations on the sulfate groups, and the possible presence of an anhydrous bridge on the molecule differentiate the various types of carrageenan.
- carrageenan There are five distinct types of carrageenan, each of which behaves differently and has distinct properties.
- the types of carrageenan are iota, kappa, lambda, mu and nu carrageenan. These types of carrageenan can significantly vary in properties. For example, lambda carrageenan in solution is unable to associate into a structure, and therefore is unable to form a gel, but nonetheless acts as a thickener. Both kappa and iota carrageenan, the predominant carrageenan types, are able to form gels. Kappa carrageenan is known to form strong gels in the presence of potassium cations.
- kappa carrageenan gels tend to be brittle and exhibit syneresis (exudation of the liquid portion of the gel).
- Iota carrageenan tends to react strongly to calcium cations and forms a weaker and more flexible gel than kappa carrageenan.
- Iota carrageenan is not as susceptible to syneresis as kappa carrageenan.
- Mu and nu carrageenan are thought to be precursors of kappa carrageenan and iota carrageenan, respectively, and may be present only in very small quantities as impurities in pure kappa and iota carrageenan. Mu and nu carrageenan are not of commercial importance.

These sheets are fed around rollers and brought together at a convergent angle into the nip of a pair of roller dies that include opposed die cavities. A dosage form is fed into the wedge-shaped joinder of the sheets.
- the sheets are continuously conveyed between the dies, with the dosage form to be encapsulated, such as a medicament, being trapped between the sheets inside the die cavities.
- the sheets are then pressed together ("sealed"), and severed around each die so that opposed edges of the sheets seal together to encapsulate or enrobe the dosage form, forming a capsule.

- all the dry ingredients are blended together to form a dry mix.
- water and plasticizer, as well as any liquid additives are mixed together as a liquid mix and heated to at least about 75°C, desirably about 90°C. While stirring the hot liquid mix, the dry mix is slowly added to the hot liquid mix to minimize formation of large lumps. The dispersion formed is heated with mixing to a temperature of from about 85°C to about 95°C.

- a premixed film-forming composition may also be added to an extruder for extrusion to form sheets, films or tubes.
- the extruded composition is fed to an encapsulation machine for the manufacture of encapsulated dosage forms.
- Encapsulated dosage forms include, but are not limited to drug dosage forms, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, bath oils and gels, paint balls and the like.

The gelling point was determined to be the temperature at which the storage and loss moduli, G ' and G" respectively, crossed. Following gelling, the sample was held at 10°C for 5 min to obtain a holding profile.
- the mechanical spectrum (frequency profile) of the gel formed was determined by performing a frequency sweep from 0.1 Hz to 100Hz at 10°C, with constant strain of 2%.
