Capsule shells are made with
- A.
  
  Starch
- B.
  
  Pectin
- C.
  
  Gelatin
- D.
  
  Shellac
Correct Answer
C. Gelatin

Explanation
Gelatin is the correct answer because it is commonly used in the production of capsule shells. Gelatin is a protein derived from animal collagen and is known for its ability to form a solid, transparent gel when mixed with water. This gelatinous property makes it an ideal ingredient for creating the outer shell of capsules, as it can hold the contents of the capsule together and provide a protective barrier. Gelatin is also easily digestible and does not interfere with the absorption of the capsule's contents, making it a popular choice in the pharmaceutical industry.

Vegitable capsules shells are prepared with
- A.
  
  Gelatin
- B.
  
  Chitosan
- C.
  
  HPMC
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. HPMC

Explanation
HPMC, or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, is a commonly used material for preparing vegetable capsule shells. It is a semisynthetic polymer derived from cellulose, which is found in plant cell walls. HPMC is a suitable alternative to gelatin, which is derived from animal sources, making it a popular choice for vegetarian and vegan capsules. Chitosan, on the other hand, is derived from the shells of crustaceans and is not typically used in vegetable capsules. Therefore, the correct answer is HPMC.

Explanation
Gelatin is a protein. It is derived from collagen, which is a structural protein found in the connective tissues of animals. Gelatin is commonly used in food and pharmaceutical industries as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids required by the body. Gelatin is also known for its unique properties, such as forming a gel-like substance when mixed with water, which makes it suitable for making desserts, candies, and jellies.

The following steps involved in hard gelatin capsule shells production ____
- A.
  
  Dipping
- B.
  
  Spinning
- C.
  
  Trimming
- D.
  
  All of the above

D. All of the above

Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above". This means that all of the mentioned steps (dipping, spinning, and trimming) are involved in the production of hard gelatin capsule shells. Dipping refers to immersing the gelatin capsules in a solution to form a coating, spinning involves rotating the capsules to evenly distribute the coating, and trimming is the process of removing any excess gelatin. Therefore, all of these steps are necessary for the production of hard gelatin capsule shells.
