Solution

The defects in capsule manufacturing that have been resolved by tapering the rim of the capsule body include "Splitting and denting".

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Splitting: This is when the capsule shell splits into two or more parts. This can occur due to a variety of reasons such as improper drying, poor quality of the shell material, or mechanical stress during the manufacturing process. By tapering the rim of the capsule body, the stress concentration at the rim is reduced, thus preventing splitting.

  2. Denting: This is when the capsule shell gets deformed or dented. This can occur due to mechanical stress during the manufacturing process or due to improper storage conditions. By tapering the rim of the capsule body, the capsule becomes more robust and less prone to denting.

The other options, "Stratification and segregation", "Disintegration and dissolution", and "Capping and lamination" are not typically resolved by tapering the rim of the capsule body. These issues are usually addressed by modifying the formulation or the manufacturing process.
