中文简体1. Choose a dry environment: Choose a storage area that is dry, cool and away from direct sunlight. Avoid wet areas such as bathrooms or kitchens. Humid conditions can cause empty gelatin capsules to absorb moisture, reducing their quality.
Storing empty gelatin capsules in a humid environment may cause the capsules to become soft or sticky, which could affect their use in pharmaceutical or nutraceutical applications.
2. Use airtight containers: Store empty gelatin capsules in airtight containers or resealable bags designed for pharmaceutical use. These containers can effectively isolate air and moisture, thereby reducing the impact of humidity on the capsules.
Airtight containers are usually made of plastic or glass and have moisture-resistant properties. Make sure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture from entering.
3. Use a desiccant bag: Place a desiccant bag or moisture absorbent bag inside the storage container. These bags absorb any residual moisture that may be present.
Desiccant usually contains silica gel or other hygroscopic substances that absorb moisture so that it does not affect the empty gelatin capsule.
4. Seal containers properly: Make sure the container or bag is properly sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering. Check the seal carefully to make sure there are no holes or damage.
Make sure containers are tightly sealed every time you open and close them to minimize the ingress of moisture.
5. Avoid temperature fluctuations: Maintain a constant temperature within the storage area. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations as these can cause condensation in the container.
Temperature fluctuations can cause moisture to condense within capsules and containers, causing moisture absorption problems. Stable temperatures are important to prevent this from happening.
6. Place the capsules high: Store the capsules on a shelf or stand away from the floor to prevent exposure to moisture that may accumulate on the floor.
Floors are often wet spots, especially in humid environments, so storing capsules high can reduce moisture exposure.
7. Monitor humidity levels: Use a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels in storage areas. If humidity levels rise, take immediate steps to correct the problem.
Check humidity levels regularly to ensure the humidity in the storage area is within acceptable limits. If the humidity is elevated, consider using a dehumidifier to reduce it.
8. Rotate your inventory: If you have a large inventory of empty gelatin capsules, consider rotating your inventory regularly. Use older capsules first to ensure they don't linger in storage for long periods of time.
Capsules may become more hygroscopic over time, so rotating your inventory can help ensure that the capsules you use are always in top condition.
9. Inspect capsules before use: Before filling capsules, inspect capsules for any signs of hygroscopic damage, such as swelling, condensation, or discoloration. If the capsule is found to be damaged, discard it immediately.
In the pharmaceutical or nutraceutical field, the quality of empty gelatin capsules is of utmost importance. Damaged capsules may affect product quality and stability.
10. Avoid opening containers unnecessarily: Try to reduce the frequency of opening storage containers. Each time the container is opened, the capsule is exposed to the air, potentially absorbing moisture.

Product application: It is often used for special packaging of drugs or health care products with bad odor, light sensitivity and instability in case of humidity and heat.
Product function: Capsules made of hollow capsules do not need binders and many auxiliary materials in the production process, and are easy to disintegrate and release in gastric juice, which can improve bioavailability compared with tablets and pills.
Product advantages: It has the advantages of accurate dosage, easy to carry and use, and safe sealing.
