Evaluation of a Continuous Coating Process for the Application of a Regulatory Compliant Nutritional Enteric Coating on Soft Gelatin CapsulesThis ADS was adapted from the Supply Side West poster presented in October 2008. The purpose of the study was to evaluate a continuous coating process for the application of a delayed release coating system onto soft gelatin capsules.
New Enteric Coating System (Nutrateric®) for Nutritional SupplementsThis ADS was adapted from the CRS poster presented in June 2005, summarizing the performance of Nutrateric when applied to tablets or soft gelatin capsules.
Nutrateric® II Enteric Coating System for Nutritional SupplementsA case study to introduce Nutrateric II, a new generation of enteric film coating designed for nutritional, food and dietary supplements. The system delivers productivity improvements, of greater than 40%, in both coating dispersion preparation and process time without any compromise in enteric protection. This study compares the preparation and productivity to the first generation Nutrateric product.
Performance Comparison of Two Delayed Release Coating Systems for Dietary SupplementsThis ADS was adapted from the CRS 2010 poster comparing the DR performance of an aqueous ethylcellulose and pH dependent pore-former based coating, with a shellac-based coating on garlic tablets.
The Influence of Plasticizers and a Stabilizer on Aqueous Delayed Release (DR) Coating Systems on Soft Gelatin CapsulesThis ADS was adapted from the AAPS poster presented in November 2007 - investigates the influence of different plasticizers and a secondary stabilizer (hypromellose, HPMC) in Nutrateric on the delayed release performance of coated fish oil soft gelatin capsules.
The Influence of Pore Former Concentration and Coating Weight Gain on Drug Release from Multi-Particulates Coated with Nutrateric®This ADS was adapted from the AAPS poster presented in November 2008. The outcome of this study successfully illustrates the combination of a pH dependent pore former and an aqueous ethylcellulose dispersion resulted in the desired delayed drug release profiles from multi-particulate systems. Coating level and port former concentrations were tailored to alter the duration of the delay in drug release followed by rapid release in higher pH media.
The Influence of a pH Dependent Pore Former on Acid Protection from Tablets Coated with an Aqueous Ethylcellulose Barrier MembraneThis ADS was adapted from the CRS poster presented in July 2006 - investigating the application of Nutrateric on aspirin and caffeine cores to achieve enteric protection.
Delayed Release Coating of Garlic Tablets with Nutrateric® in a 24" Fully Perforated side vented pan (Accela-Cota type) This product information sheet provides recommendations for the application of Nutrateric onto garlic tablets in a side-vented coating pan.
Nutrateric® - Stability and Use GuidelinesSummary of Nutrateric dispersion characteristics and stability. Demonstration of enteric protection on garlic tablets.
Delayed Release Coatings for Nutritional Supplements using Nutrateric® ClearNurateric is an easy-to-use and reliable delayed release coating for nutritional supplements. This information sheet details the preparation, use and clean-up guidelines for this coating system.

Nutrateric® II Product Information BrochureIntroduction to the Nutrateric II platform of delayed release coating systems.
AAPS 2010 - ICH Stability of Dietary Supplements Coated with an Aqueous Ethylcellulose Based Delayed Release Coating for Nutraceutical ApplicationsThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of long-term storage on delayed release (DR) performance of garlic tablets and fish oil softgels coated with Nutrateric.
AAPS 2011 - Pilot and Production Scale Evaluation of an Improved High Productivity Delayed Release Coating for Dietary SupplementsUsing a Design of Experiment (DOE) approach, this study evaluated the optimum ratio of Surelease to NS Enteric to provide protection in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) while allowing acceptable disintegration performance in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). The effects of coating dispersion solids concentration and coating weight gain were also investigated.
