encapsulation


Explanation:
剤皮 means manufacturing of outer coat of a drug including tablet coating (tablet), granule coating (microgranule) and encapsulation (capsule). カプセル剤皮 is translated into just 'encapsulated'. カプセル is used to indicate the type of drug, which needs outer coat manufacturing .

Oh, i miss the context. In this case it should be just 'capsule'.

encapsulation ingridients/coating


Explanation:
Considering the word "剤皮", it's most likely that focus is what kind of coating ingredients are used for the encapsulation. In other words, materials/ingridients used for outer of capsuls.

Encapsulation sounds more like the procedure to make a capsul, although I also thought of it.
I cannot be 100% sure about this "皮". So my confidence level is medium.

Capsule


Explanation:
カプセル剤皮 itself can be translated as '"capsule coating", but with the context provided by Asker, I guess, it's supposed to mean simply the capsule that contains x, y, and z.
