Empty Hard Capsules should be handled in an environment within RH range of __________.
30% to 45%
31
Four (4) Finishing Filled Hard Gelatin Capsules
1. Salt Polishing 2. Pan Polishing 3. Cloth Dusting 4. Brushing
32
The filled capsules are rotated in polishing pan, along with granular sodium chloride. Following rotations, the capsules are separated from the salt by screening operation.
Salt Polishing
33
A polyurethane or cheesecloth is placed in the pan, and the liner is used to tap the removed dust, as well as to impart gloss to the capsules.
Pan Polishing
34
The bulk filled capsules are rubbed with cloth (may or may not be impregnated with oil). It imparts an improved gloss to the capsules, as it removes resistant materials.
Cloth Dusting
35
The capsules are fed under rotating soft brushes, which remove the dust from the capsule shells. A vacuum for dust removal must accompany this operation.
Brushing
36
Four (4) Special Techniques for Hard Gelatin Capsules
1. Imprinting 2. Sealing / Banding Operations 3. Locking Capsules 4. Special Purpose Capsules
37
A convenient method for purpose of product identification and control. This is best performed on empty capsules.
Imprinting
38
Provide distinctive appearance to the product. Prevent filled capsules from unjoining. Permit color coding. Provide tamper proof feature to individual capsule.
Sealing / Banding Operations
39
Deliberate modification is made on one or more of the normal contours of the capsules so that the body is more tightly held, in relation to the cap after closing.
Locking Capsules
40
It refers to special capsules to which special treatment has been given to retard the solubility.
Special Purpose Capsules
41
It is also referred to as "Pearls". It is also made from shells of gelatin except for the addition of glycerin or any polyhydric alcohol (sorbitol), which renders the shells more elastic or plastic like.
Soft Gelatin Capsules
42
Three (3) Materials for Soft Gelatin Capsules
1. Gelatin 2. Plasticizer 3. Water
43
USP grade with additional specifications required by the capsule manufacturer, such as bloom or gel strength, viscosity and iron content.
Gelatin
44
Four (4) Optional Components of Soft Gelatin Capsules
1. Preservatives 2. Colorants 3. Opacifying Agents 4. Flavoring Agents
45
0.2% mixture of 4 parts of methyl paraben and 1 part of propyl paraben.
Preservatives
46
FD&C, D&C water soluble dyes, certified lakes, pigments and vegetable colors.
Colorants
47
Titanium Dioxide (2-12 g/kg of Gelatin Mass)
Opacifying Agents
48
Ethyl Vanillin and Essential Oils; Sugars (For Chewable Properties); Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (Enteric Properties); Fumaric Acid (Solubility of the Gelatin Shell.
Flavoring Agents
49
Three (3) Methods of Production of Gelatin Capsules
1. Plate Process 2. Rotary Die Process 3. Reciprocating Die Process
50
This is the oldest, commercial method.
Plate Process
51
A continuous process of production of soft gelatin capsules, invented by Robert Scherer in 1933.
Rotary Die Process
52
A process of application of relatively thin coating to small particles of solids or droplets of liquids and dispersions.
Microencapsulation
53
Two (2) Types of Result
1. Single Limit 2. Double Limit
54
All weight must be within the pair of limits.
Single Limit
55
A proportion can be outside an inner limit.
Double Limit
56
Unless otherwise stated in the USP, the amount of active ingredient, determined by assay, is within the range of 85% to 115% of the label claim for 9 to 10 dosage units assayed, with no unit outside the range of 70% to 125% of the label claim.
Content Uniformity
57
A state in which any residue of the tablet or capsule (except fragments of insoluble tablet coating) remains on the screen, resulting to soft mass without no palpably visible core.
Disintegration
58
The capsules are placed in the basket rack assembly, which is immersed 30 times per minute into thermostatically controlled fluid at 37 degree Celsius and observed over the time.
Disintegration Test
59
It determines the length of time by which 50% and 90% of the tablet's active ingredient has dissolved in the media of 0.1 N HCI, or buffer water at 37 degree Celsius.
Dissolution Test
60
Separate the capsule from the body of the capsule shell and repeatedly press the open end of the body of the shell downward into the powder bed.
Punching Capsules
