Gelatin Additive for Hard Capsules

Gelatin additive for hard capsules is an indispensable and important part of the hard capsule production process. It has many unique characteristics and advantages.

1. Basic characteristics of gelatin

Source and ingredients

This gelatin additive is mainly derived from the skin, bones and other parts of animals, and is extracted through a series of complex processing procedures. It is a protein-like substance rich in collagen. Collagen gives gelatin good physical properties such as gelling and film-forming properties.

Purity and quality

Our gelatin additive has a high purity. During the production process, most impurities such as fat and minerals are removed through a strict purification process. This ensures that when used in hard capsule production, it will not have an adverse effect on the quality and performance of the capsule.

2. Important role in hard capsule production

Capsule molding

Gelatin additive is a key factor in hard capsule molding. When mixed with an appropriate amount of water, gelatin will form a glue liquid with a certain viscosity and plasticity. This glue liquid can be made into a shell structure of a hard capsule through a specific mold, and both the cap and the body can be precisely molded. Its good film-forming property makes the shell wall of the hard capsule uniform and smooth, and has sufficient strength to wrap the internal drugs or nutrients.

Stability guarantee

During the storage and use of hard capsules, gelatin additives help maintain the stability of the capsules. It can resist a certain degree of humidity changes and prevent the capsule shell from softening or brittle prematurely. At the same time, the barrier formed by gelatin can effectively block the damage of external factors such as oxygen and light to the internal components, ensuring that the drugs or health products in the hard capsules remain active during the validity period.

Safety and compatibility

Due to the good biocompatibility of gelatin, the capsules made of Gelatin additive for hard capsules can be safely digested or decomposed in the human body. In addition, it has good compatibility with a variety of drugs and nutrients, and will not react chemically to affect its efficacy or health functions.

III. Quality control and standards

Strict production standards

The production of Gelatin additive for hard capsules follows a strict quality control system. From the selection of raw materials to the inspection of finished products, every link is carried out in accordance with relevant international and domestic standards. For example, there are strict limit requirements for the microbial indicators and heavy metal content of gelatin.

Testing and certification

The product undergoes multiple testing procedures, including physical property testing (such as gel strength, etc.), chemical testing (such as purity analysis, etc.) and biosafety testing. In addition, the product has passed relevant quality certification, providing reliable raw material guarantee for hard capsule manufacturers.

Gelatin additive for hard capsules has laid a solid foundation for the high-quality production of hard capsules with its excellent performance and strict quality control.
