How to distinguish starch vegetable capsules and gelatin capsules?

　　Starch vegetable capsules are soft and hard capsules made of plant extracts such as tapioca starch, adding vegetable glycerin and purified water.

　　The main ingredient of animal derived capsules is gelatin. Gelatin is a soft and hard capsule made of collagen from the bones and skins of pigs, cattle, sheep and other animals through denaturation and degradation processing.

　　Compared with animal-derived capsules, starch-based vegetable capsules have the advantages of natural and simple raw materials, no pollution, no animal origin, no preservatives, no fungicides (ethylene oxide), and no chemical additives in the production process;

　　Because of their plant inertness , It is not easy to react with the contents, can effectively protect the biological activity of the functional ingredients, and improve the absorption rate; and the starch plant capsule has high thermal stability, which makes the product shelf life longer; has good compression resistance and meets the needs of product transportation and storage;

　　As an innovative technology in the capsule field, the production of starch plant capsules adopts international standards, and the shape of the capsules is the same as that of animal-derived capsules. How do we distinguish it?

　　Here are a few simple ways to distinguish starch vegetable capsules from gelatin capsules:

　　Method 1: Starch plant capsules will turn blue when dripped with iodine, and gelatin capsules will not change color when dripped with iodine;

　　Method 2: Starch plant capsules will smell of rice paste when ignited with fire, and gelatin capsules will smell of burning hair when ignited.

　　Method 3: Starch plant capsules have a fragrant smell and taste of potatoes when chewing, and gelatin capsules have a slight animal smell when chewing;
