1. Learn about glutinous rice capsules:
The capsule shell of ordinary glutinous rice capsules mainly consists of glutinous rice and bone glue. The content of glutinous rice is 91-97%, and the content of bone glue is 3-9%. The role of bone glue is to increase the hardness of the capsule shell and promote support. The main ingredients of glutinous rice are starch, protein and others.
2。 Soak in warm water:
You can soak it in warm water for a period of time, and you will find that the capsule will disappear slowly. The capsule will disappear faster when you squeeze it with your hands, and the observed phenomenon 4 appears turbid. It is soluble in water, but the rubber capsule shell is insoluble in water
3. Soak in boiling water for cooling:
You can also soak it with boiling water, but it may seem to disappear at the beginning of soaking, but there will be no change later. If it is cooled, it will become a small ball, especially dry. Because the starch nucleoprotein in glutinous rice has undergone partial denaturation reaction, just like the egg white is very clear in warm water. Once the temperature is high enough, the egg white will denature and turn white and solidify in one piece.
4. Taste, sweet or not: more simply, take out the capsule shell and taste it directly in your mouth to see if there is any sweet taste. This takes a little longer, because the starch in glutinous rice needs to be slowly decomposed into sugar. Rubber has no sweet taste no matter what you taste.
5. More discounts:
A simpler way is to take the capsule and fold it more. Generally, glutinous rice capsules are easy to break, while rubber capsules are almost unbroken.
