Lonza has expanded its Capsugel offering with a titanium dioxide-free (TiO2-free) white hard gelatin capsule, meeting the needs of customers that must comply with new titanium dioxide-free requirements for foods in the European Union.

This novel opacifying technology leverages the functionality of crystalized salts to provide the same whiteness and masking as capsules containing TiO2. In an internal head-to-head comparison study, Lonza’s TiO2 alternative solution provided excellent light protection and opacity compared to other TiO2 alternatives as well as capsules produced with TiO2.

“As a leader in capsule design and manufacturing, we have leveraged our experience and expertise to develop a opacifying formulation to meet the evolving requirements of our customers,” said Stef Vanquickenborne, vice president, head of capsules & health ingredients research and development at Lonza. “This new capsule joins an already existing offering of titanium dioxide-free capsules including Capsugel White Opal HPMC capsule.”
