Innovative gelatin-based solutions for the pharmaceutical industry
The effectiveness of nutra-, pharmaceutical and medical supplements is closely related to the form in which these supplements are delivered. Gelatin has proven its worth as a natural, safe and highly versatile excipient for most delivery forms in use today. In particular, Rousselot gelatins will help you achieve best-in-class dosage forms and bring innovation to consumers:
Hard capsules
Our gelatins offer a high-quality excipient for your hard capsules, with gelatin’s optimum melting properties allowing for fast, effective release of APIs in the body.
Soft capsules
Due to its unique functional capabilities and full compatibility with the human body, gelatin is the main ingredient in soft gelatin capsules, commonly known as soft gels.
Part of Rousselot’s range of pharmaceutical gelatins, Rousselot® StabiCaps™ enables the production of soft gels with reduced cross-linking, offering superior shell stability and API release compared to standard gelatins. With StabiCaps, you can overcome stability issues.
Functional gummies
For confectionery producers in search of a highly hygienic and efficient manufacturing process, we have developed a new, gelatin-based solution to produce jelly articles without starch depositing.
With SiMoGel™ gelatin, the traditional starch moguls are replaced by silicone molds or blister packs making the production highly hygienic. Rousselot’s solution enables to produce enjoyable functional gummies with great taste and texture.
Gummy caps
