PURPOSE: To prepare a large amount of a capsule within a short time, by a method wherein beads of a mixture of a substance to be encapsulated such as enzyme supplied continuously and a sol-like substance are scattered from the outer periphery of a disc by the centrifugal force generated on the disc to be allowed to fall in a gelling solution.
CONSTITUTION: A mixture supply device 1 for continuously supplying a mixture of a substance encapsulated such as enzyme, a seed or adventive embryo and a sol like substance such as sodium alginate, carboxy methyl cellulose or agar is provided to a capsule manufacturing apparatus M. Further, a rotary disc 2 for scattering the mixture supplied from the apparatus 1 by centrifugal force and a receiving tank 3 provided below said disc 2 to receive the beads of the mixture scattered from the disc and storing a solution for gelling said beads are arranged to the apparatus M. A complexing agent, a crosslinking agent and liquid paraffin regulated in temp. are stored in the receiving tank 3 corresponding to the sol-like substance.
