Background
In May 2021, the EU announced that titanium dioxide (TiO2) would not be allowed in all foodstuffs circulating in EU member states because the substance is detrimental to human health and harmful to body cells. While the EMA (European Medicines Agency) reissued on 1 July its technical and procedural guidance entitled "Replacement/removal of titanium dioxide (TiO2) from pharmaceutical products", the EMA states that the above applies to all pharmaceutical products containing TiO2, regardless of their pharmaceutical form. It also calls on the pharmaceutical industry to make every effort to accelerate the development of alternatives to titanium dioxide and to replace it in new and licensed products.

Best replacement for TiO2
For White HPMC Veg Capsule, we have replaced the titanium dioxide with calcium carbonate or zinc oxide and the visual effect is very satisfactory and the response has been positive from our European customers. It has been proven to be perfectly safe for humans and most importantly it complies with EU regulations.
Our HPMC Veg Capsule Titanium Dioxide Free are much brighter and whiter in colour, and have a more consistent and finer texture. CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) and ZnO (zinc oxide) are both consumable, work as white pigments and above all are safe for humans - thus these two are the perfect ingredient to make white HPMC empty capsule shells.
Product application in the pharmaceutical industry
White TiO2 Free HPMC Veg Capsule, different from conventional glutamine capsules, it is made up of HPMC (hydroxy, propyl, methyl and cellulose) with polysaccharides and the basic elements of plant cell walls. Apart from its advantage in the concept of nature, it promotes the absorption and digestion of albumin, fats and carbohydrates, which are absent in traditional glutamine capsules. For a vegetarian and cultural lifestyle, the vegetable capsule is free of starch, gelatine and preservatives, yet maintains all of the benefits of traditional gelatine capsules. It does not require sterilisation with ethylene oxide.
Vegan capsule shells are now used widely in the human food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries worldwide. HPMC for the manufacture of vegetarian capsules conforms to USP/BP standards. With increased awareness of veganism and the protection of health, along with religious and other aspects, natural plant-based capsule products are rising to the forefront of the industry.

HPMC Veg Capsule white is specifically requested in some European countries such as Greece. This particular material have many advantages: High calcium content, 3 times that of calcium lactate and 4 times that of calcium gluconate; easily absorbed, odourless, biologically effective; can be widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and health care industries.
Most important, it is very safe for human consumption, and will not cause harm to our body cell like TiO2 did.
