Soft gelatin capsules are produced from a glycerin-gelatin base. The glycerin is used to form a flexible shells. Two sheets of glycerin-gelatin base with hemispherical or elliptical recesses are fed between two rollers. When the recesses meet each other, a metering pump pumps liquid between the gelatin sheets to seal them together to form a capsule. Around 30,000 of these capsules can be produced per hour.

Gelatin in solution is amphoteric, capable of acting either as an acid or as a base.
Because when the base of the gelatin does not thicken first before adding the solid ingredients, the solid ingredients you are going to add will settle at the bottom of your gelatin mixture.
honey.
Yes. It's basically a combination of gum base, glycerin, and sugar along with water. You can buy the gum base and the glycerin from a craft shop that sells candy-making supplies.
It is an organic oily liquid Glycerin neither acid nor base and a liquid can neither be a salt.
An oily, viscous liquid, C3H5(OH)3, colorless and odorless, and with a hot, sweetish taste, existing in the natural fats and oils as the base, combined with various acids, as oleic, margaric, stearic, and palmitic. It is a triatomic alcohol, and hence is also called glycerol. See Note under Gelatin.
It is a blend of Nitrocellulose and Nitro-Glycerin Also known as Cordite
Glycerin has hundreds of uses in chemistry and manufacturing. The kind you buy for home use is commonly used as a skin lotion (it is the base ingredient in many skin lotions). Lotions can be expensive and can contain glycerin plus dyes, perfumes, spreaders and alcohols. The additives can cause Allergies and the alcohols can cause dryness so many people use just the glycerin as a moisturizer. "Anhydrous" just means it has very little or no water (is nearly pure glycerin).

Modern film are made using a flexible clear plastic base over coated with gelatin. The gelatin is the glue that holds the light sensitive chemicals to the film base. Gelatin is chosen because it is flexible, transparent, and porous. When the film is immersed in water, the gelatin swells. In this swollen state the chemicals of the developing process can penetrate and circulate within the gelatin. Since the chemicals used to develop film are dissolved in water, they are able to easily travel within the gelatin structure and do their job. After the film is developed the wet film is dried. As the gelatin dries it shrinks back to its original size. In earlier times, egg whites were used in place of gelatin. Film makers would like to replace gelatin for this task with something other than an animal product. Gelatin is made from the bone and hides of animals. Because gelatin works and because it actually boosts the sensitivity of the film (higher ISO), no substitute for gelatin has ever been found. The mixture of gelatin with the light sensitive chemicals imbedded within is called an emulsion.
