MOJICA, JULIUS P., Applied Research IV (General Science Curriculum), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 1999. “CALF BONES AS GELATIN RAW MATERIALS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PHARMACEUTICAL CAPSULES”. Advisers: Prof. Dulce L. Ramos and Mrs. Myleen P. Legaspi.
The study entitled “ Calf Bones as Gelatin Raw Materials in the Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Capsules’ was conducted at the researcher’s residence at 630 J. Dimabiling St. Indang, Cavite and at the Food Processing Center of the Cavite State University from May to November 1998. This study was conducted for the following reasons: 1) utilize the local collagenous material (calf bones) in the production of gelatin; 2) use the extracted gelatin for the manufacture of pharmaceutical capsules and 3) determine the best calf bone gelatin- water concentration in the manufacture of capsule.
There were four treatments developed. The first treatment (T;) used 10g of calf bone gelatin in every 25 ml of water. The second treatment (T2) consisted of 10g of calf bone gelatin in every 20 ml of water. The third treatment used 10g of calf bone gelatin in every 15 ml of water. The last treatment (T,) used 10g of calf bone gelatin in every 10ml of water.
Results showed that the produced capsules regardless of treatment have the same color and odor that is white to dirty white with no disagreeable odor. It also revealed that among the four samples evaluated there were highly significant differences in the two. Sensory qualities, which are consistency and general acceptability.
In general, Treatment three (T3), which used 10g of calf bone gelatin in every 15ml of water, gave the best calf bone gelatin- water concentration among the four samples.
