TECHNOLOGY OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FOOD SUPPLEMENT “VEGETABLE OILS” “LIK”

Abstract

This technological instruction applies to the biologically active food supplement (BAA) “Vegetable Oils “LIK”, produced from vegetable oils obtained by the cold-pressing method, which preserves their nutritional and biological value. The product is manufactured in the form of soft gelatin capsules and is intended for distribution through specialized sections of food stores as well as over-the-counter pharmacy departments as a biologically active food supplement.

A soft gelatin capsule is a modern dosage form with a hermetically sealed elastic gelatin shell containing a liquid or semi-liquid filler. This dosage form is widely used for medicines, biologically active supplements, and cosmetic products, ensuring protection of active substances from external factors, improving bioavailability, and masking unpleasant taste or odor.

The structure of soft gelatin capsules includes a shell composed of gelatin, plasticizers (such as glycerin), and purified water, which provides elasticity and tightness. The filling usually consists of liquid or semi-liquid substances such as vegetable oils, vitamins (D, E), suspensions, or solutions containing biologically active compounds.
