Sugarcane Bagasse as the Source of Nanocrystalline Cellulose for Gelatin-Free Capsule Shell

Figure 8

Capsule shells produced from the NCC of sugarcane bagasse waste mixed with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and carbopol. (1) Capsules were produced at 1% NCC concentration +1% HPMC; (2) capsules were produced at 2% NCC concentration +1% HPMC; (3) capsules were produced at 4% NCC concentration +1% HPMC; (4) capsules were produced at 7% NCC concentration +1% HPMC; (5) capsules were produced at 4% NCC concentration +1% carbopol; and (6) capsules were produced at 7% NCC concentration +1% carbopol.
