2. Cost is lowest of all oral dosage form.
3. Lighter and compact.
4. Easiest and cheapest to package and strip.
5. Easy to swallowing with least tendency for hang‐up.
6. Sustained release product is possible by enteric coating.
7. Objectionable odour and bitter taste can be masked by coating technique.
8. Suitable for large scale production.
9. Greatest chemical and microbial stability over all oral dosage form.
10. Product identification is easy and rapid requiring no additional steps when employing an embossed and/or monogrammed punch face.
Disadvantages of tablet dosage form are:
1. Difficult to swallow in case of children and unconscious patients.
2. Some drugs resist compression into dense compacts, owing to amorphous nature, low density character.
3. Drugs with poor wetting, slow dissolution properties, optimum absorption high in GIT may be difficult to formulate or manufacture as a tablet that will still provide adequate or full drug bioavailability.
4. Bitter testing drugs, drugs with an objectionable odor or drugs that are sensitive to oxygen may require encapsulation or coating. In such cases, capsule may offer the best and lowest cost.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in foods, such as fish and flaxseed, and in dietary supplements, such as fish oil.
The three main omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is found mainly in plant oils such as flaxseed, soybean, and canola oils. DHA and EPA are found in fish and other seafood.
ALA is an essential fatty acid, meaning that your body can’t make it, so you must get it from the foods and beverages you consume. Your body can convert some ALA into EPA and then to DHA, but only in very small amounts. Therefore, getting EPA and DHA from foods (and dietary supplements if you take them) is the only practical way to increase levels of these omega-3 fatty acids in your body.
Omega-3s are important components ofthe membranes that surround each cell in your body. DHA levels are especially high in retina (eye), brain, and sperm cells.Omega-3s also provide calories to give your body energy and have many functions in your heart, blood vessels, lungs, immune system, and endocrine system (the network of hormone-producing glands).
How much omega-3s do I need?
Experts have not established recommended amounts for omega-3 fatty acids, except for ALA. Average daily recommended amounts for ALA are listed below in grams (g). The amount you need depends on your age and sex.
Plant oil is a compound made from unsaturated fatty acids and glycerol chemistry and is the oil obtained from the fruits, seeds, and germ of plants, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, flax oil, and castor oil, rapeseed oil, etc. Plant oil is obtained from oil-rich plant seed kernel as raw material, after a series of pretreatment, and then extracted by mechanical pressing or solvent leaching to obtain crude oil, which is refined. It is effective in providing energy, supplementing nutrition, treating constipation, and enhancing memory.

Plant oil can provide energy for the body. Plant oil contains protein and carbohydrates, which are good for the health of the body. It is also very healthy to choose plant oil when frying, and it is not easy to cause the body to gain weight.
Plant oil contains a variety of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, often eat plant oil, you can supplement a variety of nutrients, and eat a healthy body. Plant oil is rich in vitamins A, E, D, and K. They can meet the body's need for vitamins. Vitamin A can prevent night blindness, vitamin E can fight age, vitamin D can prevent rickets, and vitamin K is vital to the blood clotting system. In addition, plant oil is also rich in calcium, iron, potassium, and many other trace elements. Calcium is self-evident to the human body and can prevent osteoporosis, iron can prevent iron deficiency anemia, and potassium can stabilize blood pressure.
Plant oil has a digestive effect, the role of lubrication, eating is often dry and easy to form constipation, heat some plant oil can play the role of lubrication, can effectively treat constipation.
Plant oil contains vitamin E, as well as a certain amount of zinc, choline, and other components, which can help enhance memory, delay the decline of brain function, and effective anti-aging.
Plant oil is mainly composed of unsaturated fatty acids, which is different from the saturated fatty acids in animal oil. Unsaturated fatty acids will lower fat and cholesterol, which helps prevent high blood cholesterol. By the same token, plant oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can stabilize blood lipids, soften blood vessels and prevent atherosclerosis.
Plant oil mainly contains vitamin E, vitamin K, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, other minerals, fatty acids, and so on. The fatty acids in plant oil can make the skin moist and shiny. The main components of palm oil and coconut oil in plant oil are saturated fatty acids, which are the same as animal fats, so they are solid at room temperature. Most plant oils, such as peanut oil, safflower oil, mustard seed oil, corn oil, flaxseed oil, nut oil, hemp oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil, are composed primarily of unsaturated fatty acids and are therefore liquid at room temperature. It is recommended to consume those plant oils that are mainly composed of monounsaturated fatty acids. Plant oils rich in monounsaturated fatty acids include mustard seed oil, olive oil, and peanut oil. Plant oils that are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids include corn oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, and sesame oil, all of which have a unique flavor.
The above is all the explanation of the benefits of plant oils for people in this article, and I hope it can help you to have a deeper understanding of plant oils.
Some of the problems faced by food products can be solved by choosing the right form of Fish oil addition and process to ensure oxidative stability, flavor, and uniformity of Fish oil distribution in the product. There are usually 3 forms to choose from pure Fish oil, emulsion, and microencapsulation, and I will introduce you to each of these below.
Here is the list of contents：
·Pure Fish oil
·Emulsions
·Micro-encapsulation
The direct addition of pure Fish oil is not very widely used in food and is suitable for some bread, pure oil-based products (such as vegetable oil), and other products that do not require high uniformity of dispersion but have high requirements for raw material quality, oxidative stability, and flavor.
1. The quality of Fish oil raw materials directly determines its value and application. High-quality Fish oil not only requires its physical and chemical indicators such as acidity, color, and peroxide value to meet a specific range but more importantly, the content of contaminants in it is strictly controlled.
2. Fish oils are highly susceptible to oxidation and the challenge is to improve their stability. The common methods to maintain the stability of Fish oil include protection from light, heat, low temperature, vacuum or nitrogen storage, etc. The addition of antioxidants is more effective and can achieve effective chelation of metal ions and scavenging of oxygen radicals.
1. The emulsion form allows Fish oil to be evenly dispersed in aqueous food systems, with oil-in-water Fish oil emulsions being more widely used in food systems than water-in-oil types. Several factors can affect the stability of Fish oil emulsions. For example, the DHA in Fish oil emulsions adopts a highly protective conformation at the interface against oxidative attack by free radicals and metal ions.
2. The emulsification process generally involves a homogenization process, where both homogenization pressure and temperature have an impact on stability. The effect of temperature on the oxidative stability of Fish oil emulsions is more complex. Temperature affects the actual composition of the Fish oil interface and it is generally accepted that higher temperatures will accelerate oxidation, but increasing the homogenization temperature within a certain range can change the protein conformation.
1. Fish oil microcapsules are powdered Fish oil products made from Fish oil as a core material, which is encapsulated by a specific process using wall materials. This allows the Fish oil to be isolated from the external environment, delaying oxidation, disguising the fishy smell, and greatly improving dispersibility, providing easy access and stable quality raw materials for Fish oil food production.
2. The traditional process of preparing Fish oil microcapsules is mainly emulsification and spray drying. In the preparation process, it is necessary to choose the appropriate wall-to-core ratio and concentration, to ensure that the embedding effect of the premise takes into account the economy. It is also important to note that the larger the particle size of some microcapsules, the more air that may be encapsulated and the more unstable they are. As market demand increases, several new Fish oil microcapsule processing technologies are emerging.
From the above, we know that the three forms of Fish oil addition have their suitable applications and advantages and disadvantages, but basically, they can meet the application needs of different food systems and obtain a product with nutritional value and stability.
Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel contain high levels of two omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EFAs have been shown to have many health benefits, including supporting cardiovascular health and helping to maintain a healthy mood.
Taking fish oil supplements, in liquid or capsule form, is one of the best ways to obtain EFAs when you can’t eat two or more servings of fresh fish per week. To avoid fishy aftertaste, try splitting up your dosage throughout the day, taking capsules with a meal or using a flavored kind.

Health food is a supplement based on vitamins, minerals, and extracts with a relatively clear structure-activity relationship, which is taken orally to supplement essential nutrients and bioactive substances to improve health and reduce the risk of disease. The following Dietary Supplement manufacturers will introduce you to the characteristics and requirements of Dietary Supplements. Here are some answers.
Here is the content list:
l What are the characteristics of Dietary Supplements?
l What requirements must a Dietary Supplement meet?
The raw materials used in Dietary Supplement are mainly taken from natural species, but there are also safe and reliable substances produced through chemical or biological technology, such as plant and animal extracts, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. Generally speaking, the physical and chemical properties of the functional ingredients are relatively stable, the chemical structure is relatively clear, the mechanism of action has been scientifically proven to a certain extent, and the safety, functionality, and quality control meet the regulatory standards.
Dietary Supplement is mainly available in the form of pharmaceutical-like products in the following dosage forms: hard capsules, soft capsules, tablets, oral liquids, granules, powders, etc. The packaging forms are pre-packaged in bottles, drums (boxes), bags, and aluminum blister packs.
Immunity increases with the status of general food can follow the requirements of the "Nutritional Labelling Regulation for Food" issued by the Ministry of Health in 2008 and label the product with nutrition or nutrient function claims. Health food products approved by the health administration can only claim the specific health functions approved, and the publication of advertisements needs to be approved by the State Drug Administration. Dietary Supplement, on the other hand, can only claim to supplement (specifically) nutrients.
Firstly, Dietary Supplement containing more than three (inclusive) vitamins and minerals can only be described as a complex or multiple Dietary Supplement. The label and instructions should indicate each content, recommended intake, method of storage and precautions, etc. Thirdly, Dietary Supplements should consist of one or more vitamins or minerals in the form of tablets, capsules, tablets, or oral liquid; the daily consumption of tablets should not exceed 20 grams and the daily consumption of oral liquid should not exceed 30 ml. Fourthly, Dietary Supplements must obtain a health food approval certificate before they can be manufactured and sold. Fifthly, the excipients added to Dietary Supplements should be mainly to enhance the product's process performance or improve the taste of the product. Sixth, the raw materials and excipients in Skin care should provide their sources and quality standards; chemically synthesized Dietary Supplement raw materials should be "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives", the relevant circulars of the Ministry of Health or the Pharmacopoeia of the types of Dietary Supplement raw materials allowed to be used and comply with the corresponding provisions, otherwise, Otherwise, it should be evaluated for safety and toxicology concerning the requirements for new food resources and provide scientific proof of safe human intake.

Essential oils are liquid products of steam or water distillation of plant parts (leaves, stems, bark, seeds, fruits, roots and plant exudates). Expression is used exclusively for the extraction of citrus oil from the fruit peel, because the chemical components of the oil are easily damaged by heat. Citrus oil production is now a major by-product process of the juice industry. An essential oil may contain up to several hundred chemical compounds and this complex mixture of compounds gives the oil its characteristic fragrance and flavour. An essential oil may also be fractioned and sold as individual natural components. Other processing options can also produce further products that can be sold alongside essential oils. The plant parts can be extracted with organic solvents to produce oleoresins, concretes and absolutes or extracted with a near or supercritical solvent such as carbon dioxide to produce very high quality extracts. These oleoresins and extracts contain not only the volatile essential oil but also the concentrated non-volatile flavour components and these have wide application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The solvent extraction processes are more difficult and complex than steam distillation and will normally be beyond the financial resources of most small scale processors, but supplying the raw materials to these extraction plants can be a market option.
The most important spices traditionally traded throughout the world are products of tropical environments. The major exceptions to this group are the capsicums (chilli peppers, paprika), and coriander which are grown over a much wider range of tropical and non- tropical environments. Production of spices and essential oils in these wet and humid environments brings special difficulties for crop and product management. Drying the crop to ensure a stable stored product is of particular importance, and in wet humid environments this creates the need for efficient and effective drying systems.
