Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0228067A2] A soft capsule composed of a plurality of cells coalesced to each other and filling substances encapsulated in the individual cells, the wall of at least one of the cells being formed of a material different from a material forming the wall of at least one of the other cells, and said capsule being seamless. The soft capsule can be produced by (a) preparing a plurality of composite jet streams each consisting of a stream of a film-forming liquid substance for forming a cell wall and within said stream of a film-forming liquid substance a single stream, or a plurality of independent streams, of a filling substance having flowability, the film-forming liquid subtance in at least one of the composite jet streams being different from the film-forming liquid substance in at least one of the other composite jet streams, (b) advancing the plurality of composite jet streams in closely spaced relationship into and through a stream of a liquid medium substantially incapable of dissolving the film-forming liquid substance in the flowing direction of the liquid medium stream, (c) coalescing the adjacent composite jet streams to each other to form a single composite jet stream in the liquid medium stream, (d) cutting the single composite jet stream to a predetermined length successively from its leading end in the liquid medium stream, and (e) solidifying the cell walls of the resulting soft capsule.
