Patent ID: 8101203

Claim:
A method for making a clear hard vegetarian gelatin free two piece capsule consisting essentially of: a. creating a first phase network system using a seaweed extract, a galactomannan extract, and a rheology modifier; b. creating a filler for the first phase network by blending a water, a crystalline alcohol, a polysaccharide, and a sugar alcohol at a temperature less than 80 degrees Fahrenheit; c. mixing the filler into the first phase network system forming a biphasic blend; d. dipping a first pin with a large diameter into the blend while maintaining the blend a temperature of not more than 80 degrees Fahrenheit; e. dipping a second pin with a small diameter into the blend while maintaining the blend at a temperature of not more than 80 degrees Fahrenheit and wherein the second pin small diameter is from 1 percent to 10 percent less in diameter than the large diameter; f. blowing hot air on the dipped pins in a chamber with a humidity that is no more than 25 percent locking water molecules to the polysaccharide; g. removing a large diameter capsule piece from the first pin and a small diameter capsule piece from the second pin, wherein each capsule piece has an outer surface resistant to humidity and moisture; h. inserting a dosage amount between the first and the second capsule pieces; and assembling the capsule pieces together with an interference fit forming a dosage capsule that resists cracking, brittles, and some storage conditions.
