　　Vegetable capsules are empty capsules made of vegetable cellulose materials. Vegetable capsules retain the advantages of traditional gelatin capsules: easy to take, able to mask taste and odor, transparent and visible contents, etc. In addition, compared with gelatin capsules, plant capsules have a tight molecular structure, strong airtightness, and are not easy to breathe, which can avoid oxidative reactions between drugs and air; it is not easy to multiply bacteria, and there is no need to increase carcinogens such as ethylene oxide, nor to irradiate them. bacteria. The plant capsules are all made of plant ingredients, which are harmless to the body, and also contain nutrients, which are also effective for diabetes and high blood pressure. As a new technology, the production of vegetable capsules adopts worldwide standards. Here are two simple ways to distinguish vegetable capsules from gelatin capsules:

　　1. Things/Materials

　　Method 1: Water cup, about 1L of room temperature water

　　Method 2: lighter, tweezers, asbestos paper

　　2. Method/process

　　1. Investigate the dissolution of cold water:

　　The two capsules were placed in cold water at 25 degrees Celsius, and the gelatin capsules gradually expanded and did not dissolve; the vegetable capsules gradually dissolved.

　　2. Investigate the incineration phenomenon:

　　The two capsules were incinerated separately, the vegetable capsules smelled of burning cotton, and the gelatin capsules had the smell of burning protein (similar to the smell of burning hair).

　　3. Matters needing attention

　　When burning, do not touch it with your hands, and pay attention to protect your eyes and skin from splashing sparks.
