Gelatin is used to encapsulate and protect its color and other characteristics. Some companies use fish gelatin for encapsulation, which makes the product halal as well kosher. Manufacturers also use halal bovine gelatin or plant gums to encapsulate β-carotene. 8.1 Ingredients to watch Gelatin Very commonly used to make capsules, soft gel and two piece hard shell. Halal gelatin or cellulose or starch can be used instead of porcine gelatin. 8.1 Ingredients to watch Stearates from animal sources Can be used as free-flow agents in powders or tableting aids in tablets. For halal products, manufacturers can use stearates from plant sources. DHA 8.1 Ingredients to watch Tweens Sometimes used for coating and polishing tablets. Vegetable derived tweens rather than animal-derived ones should be used in halal products. 8.1 Ingredients to watch Glycerin Used in the manufacture of capsules, and it may also be used in other products. Glycerin of plant origin is halal suitable for such applications. 8.2 Types of products Tablets Can be coated with gelatin (gel tabs) or with specialty lipids such as polysorbates. Halal-certified gelatin and lipids of plant origin should be used for halal tablets. Sugars and plant proteins such as zein can also be used as coating material for tablets in halal products. 8.2 Types of products Liquid supplements and drinks Many liquid formulations are standardized with ethyl alcohol as a preservative or solvent. Alternatives such as mixtures of propylene glycol and water can be used. If use ethanol to extract bioactive compounds, the amount of ethanol in the finished product may not be more than 0.1%.  8.2 Types of products Softgel capsules One-piece capsules used to be made exclusively from gelatin. They can also be made with vegetable ingredients such as modified starch, cellulose gum, and other plant gums. Halal-certified bovine and fish gelatin is also available for this purpose. Besides the main ingredient, softgel capsules might also contain glycerin or fatty chemicals, which should be from plant sources for halal production.  8.2 Types of products Hardgel capsules Like softgels, two-piece hardgel capsules used to be made exclusively with gelatin. There is now the advent of vegetarian capsules especially for nutritional supplements. Vegetarian capsules can be made from modified cellulose, modified starches, or other plant materials. Glycerin and other ingredients can be used as processing aids. All such ingredients should be from vegetable or petroleum sources. Two-piece gelatin capsules, if used, should be halal-certified bovine type and other incidental ingredients should also be halal suitable. SUMMARY Thank You
