Example 5

Exemplary capsule shell and matrix compositions useful for producing Liquisoft capsules as described herein are shown in Table 7. 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.

The composition of Formulas 8, 9, and 10 included increased amounts of 100 Bloom gelatin to minimize shell toughness. As seen in Table 7, increased amounts of 100 Bloom gelatin resulted in decreased viscosity but encapsulation was unsuccessful. Formula 10 was revised further.
