Vegetable HPMC capsules made from HydroxyPropylMethylCellulose was the first alternative to animal-derived gelatin capsules. The vegetable capsule fulfill the huge demand from vegetarians and health conscious consumers.
Vegetable HPMC capsules manufactured by DFC are made of HPMC produced from pine wood. The process does not involve any animal ingredient thus making it a purely vegetarian product.
The capsules maintain the advantages of the traditional gelatin capsule as well as offering no cross-linking reaction. Due to the low water content (4 – 6%) the HPMC capsules are very suitable for hygroscopic and moisture sensitive ingredients.
The vegetable HPMC capsules are available in sizes #1, #0 and #00.
