A three-step method for providing a stable outer enteric coating on an ingestible item comprising a first step of encasing the item with a suspension comprising a mixture of at least a sugar and a microcrystalline cellulose, a second step of then encasing the item with a suspension comprising a mixture of a film-forming polymer and a plasticizer, and a third step of finally encasing the item with the enteric coating composition. | 04-16-2009 |
