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.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. “Hard-shelled capsules,
which are typically made
using gelatin and contain
dry, powdered
ingredients”
These are made in two halves:
Lower-diameter "body" that is
filled
Then sealed using a higher-
diameter "cap".
6. 1. Gelatin
2. Certified dyes
3. Sugar
4.Water - 12 to 16 % but may vary depending on the
storage condition
5.Sulfur dioxide (0.15%) - prevent decomposition
during manufacture
6 Opaquants /Opacifying agent - titanium dioxide
7. Ease of use due to the fact that it is smooth,
slippery and easy to swallow.

9. Steps involved in making empty gelatin capsules
with peg/pin method…
1.Dipping
2.Spinning
3.Drying
4.Stripping
5.Trimming and Joining
6.Polishing
MANUFACTURING OF HARD
GELATIN CAPSULES
The process of capsule shell production with the pin method:
• Dipping→ Drying → Stripping→ Trimming→ Joining →
Polishing
10.
11. • DIPPING :
Pairs of the stainless steel pins are dipped into the dipping solution to
simultaneously form the caps and bodies.
The dippin solution is maintained at a temperature of about 50 degree
centigrade in a heated ,jacketed dipping pan.
• SPINNING:
The pins are rotated to distribute the gelatin over the pins unifomly and to
avoid the formation of a bead at the capsule ends.
• DRYING :
The gelatin is dried by a blast of cool air to form a hard shells.
The pins are moved through a series of air drying kilns to removewater
• STRIPPING :
A series of bronze jaws strip the cap and body portions of the capsules
from the pins.
12. TRIMMING AND JOINING
• The stripped cap and body portions are trimmed to the
required length by stationary knives.
• After trimming to the right length, the cap and body
portion are joined and ejected from the machine.
POLISHING
Pan Polishing : Acela-cota pan is used to dust and polish.
Cloth Dusting : Capsule are rubbed with cloth.
Brushing : Capsule are feed under soft rotating brush.
13. CAPSULE FILLING MACHINE
It is the mechanical device that fills the powders
(active ingredients and the mixtures of active
ingredients with combinations of different
excipients) into hard or soft gelatin capsules.
Capsule filling machines are used commonly in
industrial and pharmaceutical purpose. Millions
of capsules can be filled by using different
varieties of capsule filling machines which are
provided by different manufacturers.
14. Hard capsule FILLING
1) Bench scale filling.(for small scale filling)
- Manual filling machine
eg: feton capsule filling machine
2) Industrial scale-filling.
Comes in varying shapes and sizes
- semi automatic machine
- fully automatic machine
15. • At present about 9 manufacturing companies supplies the
capsule filling machines with different models . The following
famous companies which provides capsule filling machines are
Eli Lilly and company indianapolis IN
Farmatic SNC, Bologna, Italy
Macofar SAS, Bologna, Italy
Hofliger and Karg, Waiblingen, Germany
mG2 S.P.A., Bologna, Italy
Osaka, Osaka, Japan
Parke-Davis and company, Detroit, MI
Perry Industries, Green BayWI
Zanasi Nigris, S.P.A., Bologna, Italy
The largest number of total machines are supplied by Lilly and
Parke-Davis. The method of operation and the description of
the machines are similar in these two companies.
16. What is the common working principle of all capsule
filling machines?
17. TAMPER-EVIDENTCAPSULESare made sealing the joint
between the two capsule parts.
DISTINCTIVELOOKINGCAPSULEScan be made by sealing
capsules with a colored band of gelatin, which cant be
restored without expert sealing.
HEAT WELDINGPROCESScan also be used, that fuses
capsules cap through the double wall thickness at junction
LIQUIDWETTINGAGENTthat lowers the M.P in contact
areas of capsule cap & body & then thermally bonds the
two parts using low temperatures
18. On small scale capsules may be cleaned
individually or in small numbers by rubbing
them with a clean guaze or cloth.
On large scale many CAPSULE FILLING
MACHINES with a cleaning vacuum that
removes any extraneous material from the
capsule as they exit the equipment.

21.
22. The capsule shell is basically composed of Gelatin, a
plasticizer & water it may
contain additional ingredients such as preservative,
coloring & opacifying agents, flavorings, sugars, acids &
medicaments to achieve desired effects
1. Capsule shell WATER:
NOT MORE THAN 45% w/w the ratio
by weight of water to dry gelatin can vary from 0.7
to1.3(water) to 1.0(dry gelatin) depending on the
viscosity of the gelatin being used.
2. PLASTICIZER:
Used to make the soft gel shell elastic & pliable.
Ratio used is between 0.3 to 1.8 for soft to hard shell
ondry basis. E.g. glycerin ,
sorbitol
23. 3.COLOUR:
Used in shell has to be darker than colour of
encapsulating material colours may be natural or
synthetic.
4.OPACIFIER:
Usually titanium dioxide, may be added to produce
an opaque shell ,when the fill formulation is a
suspension or to prevent photo degradation of light
sensitive fill ingredients. Concentration of opacifier
may be up to 0.5%
5.Chelating Agents:
Iron is always present in raw gelatin, & should
not contain iron more than 15 ppm.
Additionally chelating agent may be used for
preventing the reaction of iron with
materials or colours.
24. A typical gel mass formula for making soft
gelatin capsules would be:
Gelatine 35-45%
Plasticizer 15-25%
Water ~40%
Dye / Pigment as needed
Opacifier as needed
Other (flavor, sugar,) as needed
(((1 part gelatin, 1 part water, 0.4-0.6 part
plasticizer)))
25. >The gel is prepared in a 300-litre stainless
steel vessel
>Gelatin powder is mixed with water and
glycerine. Heating. Stirring. The molten gelatin
mass is formed
>It is decanted into 200-kg mobile vessels
>Turbine mixing where colours and flavours
can be added. It ensures consistency of gelatin
mass
>This mass is kept at a constant temperature
until it is needed for the next stage of the
process
26. Content may be liquid, or a combination of
miscible liquids
Solution of a solid(s) in a liquid(s) or
Suspension of a solid(s) in a liquid.
It can be a liquid like a volatile oil
composition E.g. Vegetable oils like arachis
oil or aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons,
ethers, esters, or alcohols.
Solids that are not Sufficiently soluble in
liquids or in combination of liquids are
capsulated as Suspension. Suspending
agents used are Lecithin, Soyabean oil,
yellow wax
