Titanium dioxide-free capsules Embocaps "Natural" opaque white cap- sules eliminate titanium dioxide and offer alternative to clear capsules. They accept most fills and are available in gelatin or vegetable-sourced materi- als. White hue comes from common ingredient widely used in food and nutrition industry. Capsules share fea- tures of company's other products: groove locks with dimples that prevent them from semi-locking before filling and from separating after filling. They also have liquid-compatible vents that discharge air during filling. Suheung, Brea, CA.
