Patent ID: 8101204

Claim:
A method for making a clear hard vegetarian gelatin free two piece capsule consisting essentially of: a. creating a first phase of a biphasic system using a seaweed extract, a gellan gum, a metallic element, a maltol extract, and water; b. creating a filler for the first phase of the biphasic network by blending water, a crystalline alcohol, a galactomannan extract, and a cellulose at a temperature less than 80 Fahrenheit; c. mixing the filler into the first phase network system forming a biphasic system; 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 blowing away water on an outer surface of the dipped pins to bond and lock moisture to the cellulose, the remaining moisture level is from 5.0 to 7.0 percent; 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 which is mechanically and dimensionally stable; and h. inserting a dosage amount between the first and second capsule pieces, assembling the capsule pieces together with an interference fit forming a dosage capsule that resists cracking, brittleness, and humidity and moisture conditions.
