Superior Oxygen Barrier Performance
One of the notable properties of Pullulan capsules is their oxygen barrier capabilities. Compared to other capsule materials, Pullulan capsules have an oxygen barrier performance that is 250 times higher than HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) capsules and 9 times higher than traditional gelatin capsules. Oxygen is a major factor in the degradation of many active ingredients, especially in plant extracts, antioxidants and other oxygen-sensitive ingredients.

Chemical Stability and Inertness
Another key feature of Pullulan capsules is their chemical stability. Because Pullulan itself is chemically inert, it does not cross-link with the materials inside the capsule. Cross-linking reactions usually result in reduced solubility and effectiveness of the capsule, affecting product stability and effectiveness. This chemical stability of Pullulan capsules is particularly important for formulations containing complex chemical components, such as drugs and highly active nutritional supplements.

Protection of Sensitive Nutrients
Pullulan capsules are particularly suitable for encapsulating sensitive nutrients, such as plant extracts and antioxidants. These ingredients are often extremely sensitive to the external environment and are easily degraded by oxygen, moisture or light. Pullulan capsules, with their barrier properties and chemical inertness, can provide an ideal protective environment for these ingredients.

Applications in the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement fields
In the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement fields, the shelf life of products is crucial to their market competitiveness. As consumers' demand for health and health products continues to increase, the market demand for efficient, safe and long-lasting products has also increased. Pullulan capsules have become the material of choice in this field due to their unique properties. It not only provides protection, but also ensures that the product remains stable and effective for a long time.
