TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT OF HARD CAPSULES CONTAINING LADY'S BEDSTRAW HERB LIPOPHILIC COMPLEX

Technological parameters manufacturing of capsules containing Lady's Bedstraw's herbs lipophilic complex (Galium verum L.) have been substantiated, namely, conditions, mixing sequence, temperature mode and so on. The water absorption kinetics of different composition powder mixtures has been studied. The expediency of using lactose as a diluent has been confirmed experimentally, that allowed us to obtain practically non-absorbent capsule mass containing Lady's Bedstraw's herbs lipophilic complex. On the basis of these studies, the manufacturing technology of capsules codenamed "Galiver" has been developed.
