Vacant Hydroxypropyl Starch Capsules

This product is a hollow hard transparent capsule made from pregelatinized hydroxypropyl starch and auxiliary materials. It is cylindrical, rigid and elastic hollow capsule composed of a cap and a body that can be joined together with snap-fit.

The main raw material of vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsule is starch, which is extracted from natural plants. Its impurities are far lower than that of gelatin hollow capsule. Because it does not contain protein, and because of the special production process, it is difficult for microorganisms to grow. Therefore, there is no need to add preservatives in the production process, which can effectively prevent drug and capsule from gel chain reaction, without additional sterilization. vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsules have no side effects on the human body, providing a new choice for vegetarians and people with different religious beliefs.

Vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsule is suitable for filling with strong hygroscopicity and water sensitive drugs. General drugs have certain hygroscopicity and are easy to absorb water in gelatin capsules, resulting in drug agglomeration in gelatin capsules, hardening and embrittlement of capsule shells, unqualified disintegration time limit or dissolution and other quality problems. The water content in starch capsule shell is lower than that in gelatin. The appearance and dissolution rate are not sensitive to changes in water in capsule shells and environmental humidity, and the product quality is easy to control.

Vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsule has wide applicability, no risk of crosslinking reaction, no interaction and high stability.

Vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsules require low storage conditions, are almost not fragile in low humidity environment, and have good stability of 100% under high temperature. Gelatin capsules are easy to harden or brittle under high temperature and low humidity conditions, and have high requirements on the temperature, appropriateness, packaging materials and storage time of the storage environment.

Vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsules have good coating properties, and have good affinity with most macromolecular materials such as cellulose. The coating materials are easy to adhere to plant capsules, with good uniformity.

The main and auxiliary materials of vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsules are 100% plant origin.

Vacant hydroxypropyl starch capsule is an ideal substitute for animal capsule and has cost advantage compared with other plant capsules.
