In terms of storage conditions, plant capsules are hardly brittle under low humidity conditions, and the properties of the capsule shell are still stable under high temperature and humidity, and the indicators of plant capsules are not affected under extreme storage conditions.
Ordinary capsules are prone to capsule adhesion under high humidity conditions, dehydration hardening, or brittleness under low humidity conditions, and are highly dependent on the temperature, humidity, and packaging materials of the storage environment.
Plant capsules, taking starch plant capsules as an example, from cassava planting to tapioca starch extraction, and then processing to capsules, the raw materials are natural, simple, pollution-free in the production process, with no animal sources, no preservatives, no fungicides (ethylene oxide ), no chemical additives.
The main component of ordinary capsules is protein, so it is easy to breed and reproduce bacteria and microorganisms. Preservatives need to be added during the production process, and ethylene oxide and other methods must be used to sterilize the finished product before packaging to ensure the microbial control indicators of the capsules.
Due to their plant inertness, vegetable capsules are more suitable for wrapping fish oil, plant extracts, and other nutrients that are easily oxidized, which helps to protect the nutritional activity of the contents.
After ordinary capsules are stored at 40°C and relative humidity of 75% for a certain period of time, cross-linking reactions will occur on their own, resulting in brittle disintegration of gelatin capsules or prolonged disintegration time.
