Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a water-soluble packaging containing an agent and a water-soluble wrapping. Said water-soluble wrapping contains a bittering agent in a dilution of at least 1:250.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. Water-soluble packaging comprising an agent and a water-soluble wrapping comprising a film obtained by extruding a matrix comprising water-soluble polymers, and a bittering agent in a dilution of at least 1:250. 2. Water-soluble packaging according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble wrapping comprises the bittering agent in a dilution of at least 1:500. 3. Water-soluble packaging according to claim 1 , wherein the bittering agent has a bitterness value of at least 10,000. 4. Water-soluble packaging according to claim 3 , wherein the bittering agent is selected from the group consisting of naringin, saccharose octaacetate, denatonium benzoate, and mixtures thereof. 5. Water-soluble packaging according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble wrapping comprises polyvinyl alcohol or a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer. 6. Water-soluble packaging according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble wrapping further comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, and mixtures thereof. 7. Water-soluble packaging according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble packaging comprises two to five chambers. 8. Method for manufacturing water-soluble packaging which includes an agent and a water-soluble wrapping, including the following steps: a) forming at least one cavity in a first water-soluble film web, b) filling the at least one cavity with a product, and c) closing the cavity with a second water-soluble film web, wherein the first and/or second water-soluble film web is obtained by extruding a matrix comprising water-soluble polymers, and a bittering agent in a dilution of at least 1:250.
