HOW are vegetarian capsules made?!
I have been looking all over the internet to find out HOW vegie caps (ie!. from vegetables, fruits or plants) are made, but cannot find anything!
How is the gelatin-like product removed from the plant/veg!? How is it then moulded into a capsule!? Does it dry in shape or is it heated or something!?
Please, someone tell me! I really want to know but cannot find ANYTHING at all on this!!!
Thanks in advance :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
They probably use agar derived from red algae!. It's the same stuff used to make veg marsh mellows!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Some I have are made of cellulose-a structural carbohydrate!. But I don't know how!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
