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.

Are you talking about the membrane that is used as the medication delivery system? Usually made of some form of soluble material that melts on reaching the stomach.

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.
