    Capsule shells are made with - ProProfs

    Capsule shells are made with

    • Starch

    • Pectin

    • Gelatin

    • Shellac

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

Gelatin is commonly used in food and pharmaceutical industries as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener.

    • Gelatin

    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.
