Abstract Capsule shells have been successfully fabricated from water-soluble chitosan (WSC) with the addition of alginate
and Gembili starch. WSC was synthesized from crab shell chitosan by depolymerization reaction. The capsule
shells were made with the composition of WSC: Alginate, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 (w/w) with and without the addition
of Gembili starch. Gembili starch was added with a ratio of Alginate: Starch, 1:1 (w/w). The capsule shell properties were evaluated according to Indonesian Pharmacopoeia standard. The solubility test showed that the capsule
shells were comply with the standard. The highest degrees of swelling in water and HCl 0.1 N solution… More >
