Plant-based soft capsule
The expanding possibilities of soft capsules.
Catalent invented the rotary die encapsulation machine widely used in soft capsule manufacturing. Since then, it has continued to lead the industry with cutting-edge drug delivery system (DDS) technology. The "OptiShell," developed in this process, is an award-winning technology that enables complex formulations of difficult-to-develop compounds, evolving drug delivery in soft capsules. OptiShell is ideal for encapsulating high-melting-point contents due to its patented coating derived from plant-based polysaccharides. Soft capsules filled with semi-solid matrices allow for the controlled release of poorly soluble or low membrane-permeable compounds, making Catalent the only company to successfully obtain FDA approval with this formulation. Additionally, in the development of immediate-release formulations, it expands the options for contents and excipients available for lipid-based capsules, addressing challenges in drug delivery. By combining the strengths of plant-based soft capsule OptiShell with other capsule technologies, the range of lipid-based capsule formulations is broadened.
