Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to film-forming compositions for enveloping solid forms such as pharmaceutical or food products or seeds, wherein they comprise, by weight: 15 to 85% of a cellulosic film-forming substance, 10 to 70% of at least one alpha-cellulose, 5 to 30% of at least one plasticizer suitable for consumption.
