Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides starch film-forming compositions and methods of their use for preparing capsule shells. The starch film-forming composition comprises a gellan gum and at least one starch, wherein the total acyl content of the gellan gum ranges from 14 to 34%. The starch film-forming composition of the present invention has the advantages of desired film-forming strength and toughness, which can be applied in soft capsules to obtain soft capsules with a desired adhesive property upon formation and encapsulation property and which is free of animal-derived ingredients. The soft capsules thus are suitable for all ethnic populations in the world and can be applied globally.
