Example 1

Exemplary capsule shell and matrix compositions useful for producing Liquisoft capsules as described herein are shown in Table 4. Composition components are set forth by weight percentage of the total weight of the composition. Such compositions may be encapsulated using rotary die encapsulation as described herein.

Formulas 1 and 2 were the first shell formulations developed to achieve faster disintegration time and prevent crosslinking of the gelatin shell with matrix fill components.
