In the pharmaceutical industry, the most single
property of gelatin is the strong reversible gel-forming characteristic.
This property is important in film formation. The sol-gel transition
is an important feature in the use of capsules and suppositories.
Also gelatin acts as a binding and compounding agent in the
manufacturer of many tablets.
Therefore gelatin is used to make the shells of hard and soft
capsules for medicines, dietary/health supplements, syrups,
etc. It is highly digestible and serves as a natural protective
coating for medications.
