What is Empty Vegetable Capsule
Empty Vegetable Capsules are a premium encapsulation solution ideal for manufacturers seeking a clean-label, plant-based alternative to gelatin capsules. Produced from HPMC derived from cellulose, these capsules are free from animal by-products, making them suitable for vegetarian, vegan, Halal, and Kosher applications.
They offer superior stability in a wide range of environmental conditions, including varying humidity and temperature levels, which helps maintain product integrity throughout shelf life. Vegetable capsules are also less prone to cross-linking issues compared to gelatin capsules, ensuring consistent dissolution and release profiles.
Available in a variety of sizes, colours, and customisable options, they are compatible with both manual and automated filling equipment. Their neutral taste and odour further enhance consumer acceptance, making them suitable for health supplements, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceutical products.
