A soft, chewable capsule film suitable for medicament or foodstuffencapsulation, and a method of fabricating capsules from such a film. Suchcapsules demonstrate fast rupture in the oral cavity, good mouth feel andchewability, and rapid dissolution of the shell components. In particular, themodified starch is substantially ungelatinized, due at least in part to theprocessing temperature, and may act as a water retention agent to promotehydration. Additionally, gelatins are selected for bloom strengths that resultin a robust capsule that may be fabricated at a thinner wall thickness thanpreviously experienced in the art. Accordingly, such thin capsules have asmaller mass than traditional capsules of the same size and dissolve morequickly than chewable capsules having greater thickness. The capsules may befabricated by a rotary die process at speeds greater than those generallyknown for soft chewable capsules.
