PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collapsible capsule that is free from deposition between the capsules, is free from aging variation of the capsule contents, is superior in heat resistance and moisture resistance, is capable of being easily split when pressured by fingers, has a preferable feeling of cracking, and is capable of releasing the contents.SOLUTION: A collapsible capsule is the capsule 3 having a content 1 and a capsule membrane 2, and is characterized by containing an oily component as the content, containing at least a membrane-forming base agent as the capsule membrane, and satisfying a following expression (1) and a following expression (2). The expression (1) is 150<；(X)<；630 (in the expression (X) represents an outer diameter (mm) of the breaking strength (g)/capsule), and the expression (2) is 0.15≤(Y)≤0.53 (in the expression (Y) represents a distance/outer diameter ratio, and the distance represents the distance (mm) deformed so as to reach the maximum load at the time when breaking the capsule by pressing the capsule at 22°C, 80%RH).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】カプセル同士の付着がなく、カプセル内容物の経時的変化がなく、耐熱性及び耐湿性に優れ、指で圧力をかけた際に容易に割ることができ、割れ感が良く、内容物を放出することができ、崩壊可能なカプセルを提供すること。【解決手段】内容物１とカプセル皮膜２を有するカプセル３であって、内容物として油性成分を含み、カプセル皮膜として、少なくとも造膜性基剤を含み、下記式（１）及び下記式（２）を満足することを特徴とする崩壊可能なカプセル。１５０＜（Ｘ）＜６３０・・・（１）（式中、（Ｘ）は、破壊強度（ｇ）／カプセルの外径（ｍｍ）を表す。）、０．１５≦（Ｙ）≦０．５３・・・（２）（式中、（Ｙ）は、ディスタンス／外径比を表し、前記ディスタンスは、２２℃、８０％ＲＨにおいてカプセルにプレスをかけてカプセルを破壊したときの、最大荷重に達するまでに変形した距離（ｍｍ）を表す。）【選択図】図１
