Non-gelatinous capsule film compositions containing as the base a starch
hydrolyzate having an average DE of less than 10 and an average molecular
weight of not more than 30,000. These non-gelatinous capsule film
compositions have stable moisture absorbing/releasing properties and
strength to such extent as sufficiently withstanding the production and
storage as products and yet achieve excellent disintegration properties
in vivo. Also, capsules produced by using the non-gelatinous capsule film
compositions as described above are provided.
