The empty starch capsule is made of pure natural cassava starch imported from Cambodia, edible glycerin and purified water, and can hold the contents. It can be eaten as a snack or used as a food container. Its shape is the same as that of ordinary capsules, but it is naturally different from gelatin capsules made of 90% animal skins and bones on the market. It is a purely botanical, non-animal-derived, safer capsule developed after ten years of professional research and development, and it is the terminator of poison capsules. It can be used not only as the shell of protective drugs, but also as the carrier of daily taking health care powder and the packaging of cooking spices. Through starch empty capsules, the taste of health powder can be improved, the stomach and intestines can be protected from drug stimulation, and the drug absorption rate and utilization rate can be greatly improved.
Second, the characteristics
(1) 100% natural cassava starch.
Starch hollow capsules are made of 100% natural cassava starch and proper amount of purified water through a special process, and do not contain any chemical additives and preservatives.
(2) No animal-borne infectious diseases.
No animal-derived substances and animal protein are added in the production, which completely eliminates the potential safety hazards caused by mad cow disease and poison capsules.
(3) Non-transgenic
The starch used in the production does not use genetically modified varieties, and the raw materials are strictly controlled, and it has passed the international sgs non-genetically modified certification.
(4) No pesticide residue
Cassava, the raw material used in the production, is imported from Cambodia, and no pesticides are used in the organic planting process. At the same time, advanced technology is adopted in the production process to further ensure that the products are free of pesticide residues.
(5) No carcinogen residue.
Strictly control the production conditions, never use ethylene oxide to sterilize the products, and there will be no carcinogen residue.
(6) Take care of the stomach
Taking powder directly is easy to burn esophagus and gastric mucosa and cause ulcer. Some powders are too irritating and easy to choke into the trachea and corrode the tracheal mucosa. Using empty starch capsules as carriers can protect the stomach and intestines.
(7) no cross-linking reaction with drugs
Starch is a substance with stable molecular structure, which will not cross-link with aldehyde groups or other compounds to prevent internal substances from deteriorating and cross-linking due to capsules.
(8) The drug utilization rate and absorption effect are good.
The effective components in starch are more helpful to stimulate the activity of powder, which is beneficial to human absorption and increase the use efficiency of precious Chinese herbal medicines.
(9) It is easy to be accepted by people of special culture.
The raw material of empty starch capsules is pure starch, which is more in line with the eating habits of people with special religious beliefs and vegetarians. The products have passed the certification of European Vegetarian Association, halal certification and kosher certification.
(10) Easy to store and carry.
Starch hollow capsules have low requirements on temperature and humidity, and can be stored and carried under normal conditions.
Third, the delivery process.
BC 1500, the first empty capsule was born in Egypt;
1846, two-stage hard capsule manufacturing technology was patented in France;
1874, Detroit began the industrial manufacture of hard capsules, and introduced various models at the same time;
193 1 year, large-scale production of empty capsules began, accounting for 70% of all kinds of drugs;
During the period of 1986, the outbreak of mad cow disease from Britain to Europe made gelatin capsules fall into an unprecedented crisis of confidence, and people began to look for plant materials to replace gelatin.
During the period of 1997, Pfizer introduced two kinds of plant hollow capsules. Hollow capsules made of hydroxypropyl cellulose-not conducive to human digestion, but made of pullulan-are extremely expensive and complicated. Experts in the industry agree that starch, as three essential nutrients for human beings, is the best raw material for producing plant hollow capsules.
In 2000, hollow starch capsules were formed, but due to the technical problems of starch fluidity, formability and properties, it has been impossible to realize industrial production.
In 2004, Hunan Erkang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. started the research and development project of starch empty capsules;
In 20 13, Erkang Pharmaceutical, together with senior scholars from Australia and Canada, took the lead in overcoming a number of core technical difficulties and realized the industrialization of empty starch capsules.
In 20 14, the world's first empty starch capsule industrial park was built in Liuyang Biomedical Park.
In 20 15, erkang starch hollow capsules will be fully sold and become the largest professional supplier of starch hollow capsules in the world.
Fourthly, compared with gelatin (the terminator of poison capsules)
20 12 April 15 CCTV Weekly Quality Report and Oriental Time and Space Report, some gelatin production enterprises decolorize and bleach leather scraps with quicklime, and then cook them into industrial gelatin, which is sold to Zhejiang Xinchang pharmaceutical capsule production enterprises and finally flows to pharmaceutical companies. Through investigation, it was found that the content of heavy metal chromium in capsules used in 9 pharmaceutical factories 13 batches of drugs exceeded the standard, and most of them exceeded the standard by more than 90 times. Chromium is a toxic heavy metal, which is easy to accumulate in human body, causing cancer and possibly inducing gene mutation. Pharmaceutical companies use poison capsules, and the medicine that saves people has become a "poison" that harms people. The appearance of empty starch capsules has brought good news to people, so that people are no longer troubled by toxic capsules.
(1) The raw material of starch hollow capsule is imported pure cassava starch, which is safe and pollution-free; The raw materials of gelatin capsules are pig cowhide, bones, leather scraps and cotton extracts;
(2) Starch hollow capsules belong to pure plant and non-animal origin capsules, and gelatin capsules are animal origin capsules or cellulose capsules;
(3) Empty starch capsules taste sweet potato, a little sweet, and have a faint rice paste smell when burned;
Gelatin capsules have the smell of leather and tar when burned;
(4) Empty starch capsules can be used not only as medicine, but also as food and snacks; Gelatin capsules can only be used as medicine.
Verb recognition (abbreviation for verb)
(1) Iodine drops on empty starch capsules will turn blue, but gelatin will not;
(2) Burning empty starch capsules with fire will smell like rice paste, and gelatin will smell like burnt hair;
(3) Eating empty starch capsules will have a faint sweet potato flavor in your mouth, which is a little sweet, and chewing gelatin will have a skin flavor;
Industrial application of intransitive verbs
