This document provides a summary of capsules, including their history, types, manufacturing process, evaluation, and key details. It discusses how gelatin capsules were first developed in the 18th century and how the process has evolved. The main types - hard gelatin capsules, soft gelatin capsules, and their composition, sizes, and manufacturing processes - are outlined. Methods for evaluating capsules like uniformity of weight, drug content testing, disintegration testing, and dissolution testing are also summarized.
The presentation deals with a detailed study of soft gelatin capsules. this involves the production of soft gelatin capsule based on the importance of base adsorption factor and minim/gram factor. also quality control studies was also elaborated.
capsules and its types are discussed in this slide. along with their uses and their advantages over one another. preparation of each type is well explained in these slides.
These defects can cause serious injury and harm. When this occurs, you should speak with our product liability attorneys in Denver. You may have a viable claim to file a product liability lawsuit against the negligent manufacturer.Capsules are solid dosage forms in which the drug substance is enclosed within either a hard or soft soluble shell. Generally the shells are formed from gelatin. The capsule may be regarded as “container” drug delivery system, which provides a tasteless/odorless dosage form without the need of a secondary coating step, as may be required for tablets.Capsules are one of the essential components of the pharmaceutical sector. They are mainly used to hold dry powder or little pellets of medication and are made using specific machinery and techniques. The capsule's production method entails pharmaceutically active ingredients, additives, and a cover. Every pharmaceutical business understands capsule manufacturing takes time, and the reason is the critical measures.

In Process Quality Control System (IPQC) for Solid Dosages Form (Tablets)Gaurav kumar
This presentation pertains to the in-process tests performed during the manufacturing process of the solid dosages form (tablets).
The presentation covers the methods and the permissible limits for the tests performed.
These tests are of great importance as these not only ensure quality product but also upholds the cGMP.
"Capsula" is derived from the Latin word & Is defined as a solid dosage form in which the medicament contained is enclosed within small shell or container.
Introduction, History types, manufacturing, Machinery used, filling by manual and automatic machines, Formulation, quality control test, Shape and sizes, properties of gelatin etc
Capsules are tasteless, odorless and can easily be
administered.
Combination of powders we can use
There are attractive in appearance.
The drugs having un-pleasant odor and taste are
enclosed in a tasteless shell.
They can be filled quickly and conveniently.
Physician can change the dose and combination of drug
according to patient requirement.
They are economical.
They are easy to handle and carry.
some important information about capsule: By this presentation you can learn about different types of capsule, their formulation , advantage, disadvantage etc.
In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, encapsulation refers to a range of dosage forms—techniques used to enclose medicines—in a relatively stable shell known as a capsule, allowing them to, for example, be taken orally or be used as suppositories. The two main types of capsules are:
Hard-shelled capsules, which contain dry, powdered ingredients or miniature pellets made by e.g. processes of extrusion or spheronization. These are made in two halves: a smaller-diameter “body” that is filled and then sealed using a larger-diameter “cap”.
Soft-shelled capsules, primarily used for oils and for active ingredients that are dissolved or suspended in oil.

3. hISTORY
• In 1730, the Pharmacist De PAULI from Vienna
developed oval shaped capsules for covering up the unpleasant taste of the
pure turpentine used for the treatment of gout
• In 1834, the Pharmacist JOSEPH DUPLANC from FRONCOIS MOTHES
were granted Patent which covered a method for the producing , single piece ,
olive shaped , gelatin capsules which were closed after filling by a drop of
concentrated warm gelatin solution
• In 1846, the Frenchman JULES LEHUBY
first to suggest Tow- Piece Capsule produced by dipping silver coated metal
pins into a gelatin solution and then drying them quickly
• In 1931, the author COLTON
Designed a machine to manufacture bodies and caps and fitted them to form
hard gelatin capsule.
5. cAPSulES
• These are solid dosage forms in which the
medication is enclosed within a gelatin
shells.
• The medication may be a powder, a liquid
or a semisolid mass.
• Capsules are usually intended to be
administered orally by swallowing them
whole. Occasionally, capsules may be
administered rectally or vaginally.

2. FD & C and D & C colorant
3. Sugar
4. Water - 12 to 16 % (may vary depending on the storage condition )
5. Sulfur dioxide (15%) - prevent decomposition during manufacture
6. Colorants / Opacifying agent : There are two types
A) water soluble dyes – e.g. erythrosine
B) pigments – e.g. iron oxides , titanium dioxide
(make the capsule opaque to provide protection against light)
7. Preservatives: To prevent microbial growth
during manufacture
9. RAW MATERIAlS
GELATIN
• It is a protein substance derived from collagen, a natural protein
present in the tendons, ligaments, and tissues of mammals.
It is produced by boiling the connective tissues, bones and skins of
animals, usually cows and pigs.
• It is the major component of the capsule. The reason for this is that
gelatin possesses five basic properties:
A- Non-toxic.
B- Soluble in biological fluids at body temperature.
C- It is a good film-forming material.
D- Solutions of high concentration, 40% w/v, are mobile at 50°C.
E- A solution in water changes from a sol to a gel at
temperatures only a few degrees above ambient
(Others require volatile solvents or large quantities of heat).
10. gElATIN
Type A Type B
- Obtained from bone - Obtained pork skin
- Derived from acid treated - Derived from alkali treated
precursor precursor
- Isoelectric point in the - Isoelectric point in the
region of pH 9 region of pH 4.7
15. Hard gelatin capsules
• It consists of two pieces in the form of cylinders which is closed
at one end and open from the other:
- the shorter piece “cap” and
- the longer piece “body”.
• The shells consist largely of gelatin, sugar and
water.
CAP
BODY
Capsule shell filling:
- typically filled with dry solids (powders, granules, pellets, tablets) and
semisolids.
- Fixed oils and other liquids that do not dissolve gelatin may be filled
into hard gelatin capsules with a pipette or calibrated dropper, then
capsules are sealed by moisturizing the lower part of the caps with
water.
- Liquids may often be sorbed onto inert carrier powders to form dry
powders suitable for capsule filling.
17. general cHaracteristics OF gelatin
1 Bloom value
- is a measurement of the gelling power and the strength of the resulting gel.
- Gelatin generally falls between 50 and 300 bloom strength.
2 Gelling power
- the key function of gelatin.
- The gelling power varies depending on the grade of gelatin
- its measured in terms of bloom value. The higher the bloom value, the greater the
ability to form gels & the stronger the gel strength.
3 Viscosity
- In general the higher the bloom, the greater the viscosity
- Beef bone grades tend to have higher viscosity.
- Viscosity is determined by measuring the flow time of a 6.67% solution of gelatin
through a U-tube viscometer at 60 °C. Viscosity measurement is given in millipoise
units and varies between 20 and 70 mps.
4. Foamability
- In general pigskin grades tend to have better foaming properties
- Gelatin lowers the surface tension, allowing for the incorporation of air, and stabilizes
the foam once aerated
- Gelatin will also prevent crystal formation of sugars in the foam and maintain smoothness
in texture.
18. general cHaracteristics OF gelatin
5. Melting point
- Lower melting point gelatins dissolve faster in the mouth, therefore
releasing the flavors more quickly for an instant taste sensation.
-Lower bloom grades tend to have lower melting points.
6. Color and odor
-The gelatin should be as clear as possible in solution.
- Clarity is measured using a turbidimeter .
-The gelatin should be without odor.
7. Conductivity
- is a key parameter in photographic applications and grades of the highest purity
with minimal or no conductivity are required. De-ionized grades have an
advantage because of their low conductivity.
8. pH
-. pH is measured using a pH meter on a 1% solution and typically for gelatin
solutions falls between ph 4.5 and 6.5.
