1. Organic gum acacia, silica, organic pre - gelatinized maize starch, lac resin, and carnauba wax.

2. The pancreatic enzymes may be separated by electrophoresis on gelatinized cellulose acetate foils (“Cellogel”).

3. The films are shaped by conventional methods from a plasticized matrix comprising highly gelatinized starch and ethylene acrylic acid copolymer neutralized with a strong alkali.

4. The hot melt adhesive contains a major amount of a meltable saccharide, e.g. a lower alkyl glycoside and a minor amount of a polysaccharide derived from starch selected from the group consisting of pre-gelatinized converted starches, cold-water soluble dextrins, and maltodextrins, and mixtures of more than one of such members of said group.
