    摘要: The invention relates to a soft capsule shell and a soft capsule. The present invention provides soft capsule shells prepared from a film-forming composition including 2 wt % to 5 wt % of a first gelling agent, 10 wt % to 35 wt % of a plasticizer, 18 wt % to 35 wt % of gelatinizable starch, 4 wt % to 17 wt % of granular starch, and 35 wt % to 55 wt % of water, wherein the first gelling agent is a gellan gum having a weight-average molecular weight of 5.0×105 to 8.0×106 g/mol and/or a coefficient of molecular weight distribution of 1.0 to 6.0. The film-forming composition provided by the invention has good film-forming mechanical strength, toughness and viscosity, is good in seaming when being compressed into soft capsules, and can be disintegrated in medium water and simulated gastric juice.
