Physical Study of Different Fibers for Empty Capsule Film with Different Concentration of Plasticizer

NurFatin Farina bt Ahmad Amin    

Resumen

Most of our empty gelatin capsules are made from derivative of animal products which mean they are not great option for those who are muslim, Kashmir religion and vegetarian people. In recent era, vegetable capsules are new approach that can replace gelatin capsule. The present research, study the physical properties of different Fibers for empty capsule film with different proportions plasticizer. The fibers used in this research were coconut husk, oil palm trunk and paddy husk, whereas the concentration of plasticizer that were used were 0.2% w/w, 1.0% w/w ,1.5% w/w and 2.0% w/w of glycerol. The film samples that were produced in this study were analyzed by using FT-IR, DSC and Dissolving test. The FT-IR results indicate that the samples contained carbonyl compound and aromatic hydroxyl. The dissolving test of films in acid and alkali solution demonstrated that the films of all samples were not dissolve in 10 minutes.
