The raw materials |
The raw material of vegetarian vacant capsule is HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), which is authorized as a direct or indirect food additive by FDA and European unio. HPMC Capsule is included in the data base of GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) as safe substance. Data base of JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) also contains HPMC, but does not impose any limitation on the maximum daily dosage of HPMC. |
Gelatin Capsule is made of skin or bone of animals. High risk of BSE, Foot-and-mouth Disease, and Contamination of veterinary medicine

Chemical Stability |
No cross-linking reaction No Maillard reaction |
Cross-linking reaction: Lysine in the gelatin reacts with the aldehyde group in medicine powder, lowering the solubility. Maillard reaction: amine-group compounds (amino acid and protein) react with carboxides (reducing sugar), thus producing brown or even black macromolecular substances such as melanoidins through complicated process. |

Bacteria Breeding |
Hard to breed bacteria; No food additives |
Since gelatin is good culture medium for microbes, it is easy to breed bacteria in manufacturing and following process of Gelatin Capsule production. |
