From hydroxypropyl starch powder to finished softgel — three businesses, one hydroxypropyl starch platform
Amylom Biotechnology is the plant-softgel partner for brands that want a single accountable interface across material supply, production-line engineering, and finished-product manufacturing — built around our proprietary pregelatinized hydroxypropyl starch technology, ChP-listed and GB 29930-2013 compliant.
01 — Materials Supply
Hydroxypropyl Starch Shell Materials
Three grades, multi-source starches, one consistent specification.
- AMYLOM™ Clear — a starch-only shell, free of carrageenan, gellan, and gelatin. Self-produced starch material gives Clear a stable cost base, free from carrageenan and gellan-gum spot-price swings.
- AMYLOM™ Natural — hydroxypropyl starch + plant-gel blend for broader fill compatibility.
- AMYLOM™ Tailor-Made — custom shell formulations co-developed with brand R&D.
- Multi-source plant starches — corn, potato, cassava, pea.
- ChP-listed pharmaceutical excipient, GB 29930-2013 compliant, HALAL certified (JAKIM, BPJPH, OIC-SMIIC and GCC).
- Compatible fills — fish oil, EPO, vitamin D₃, CoQ10, calcium+D₃ suspensions, herbal extract concentrates.
02 — Production-Line Engineering
End-to-End Softgel Production Lines
Designed around plant-starch viscosity profiles. Some components we build, others we source from OEM partners we’ve worked with for over a decade.
Built in-house
300–450 L gel-mass tanks — mobile and split-base configurations. Tank geometry, agitation profile, and external heat-circulation are tuned to plant-starch viscosity. Process parameters validated across 12+ years of in-house R&D.
OEM partners (decade-plus relationships)
- Encapsulation machines and spreader boxes — supplied by a Chinese OEM whose founder is a principal author of China’s national softgel machinery standard.
- Dies — supplied by a Chinese specialist holding 80%+ domestic market share, with 2,000+ die sets shipped annually to 30+ countries.
One commissioning interface. One service contract. Three layers of expertise.
03 — Integrated Manufacturing
You bring the fill. We bring the shell platform.
Unlike conventional CDMO arrangements, the shell formulation stays with us. You skip months of reformulation and stability work — and you get encapsulation, drying, and finishing under one roof, from lab trial through commercial scale.
From lab to commercial scale
- Lab trial — formulation development, small-batch validation, fill compatibility testing.
- Pilot scale-up — refined process parameters, packaging trials.
- Commercial production — full-scale runs with QA and stability testing.
Process scope
- Gel-mass cooking protocols — temperature, time, formulation matching
- Encapsulation parameters — mold rotation, seam integrity, fill volume
- Drying profiles — time, humidity, temperature, airflow
- Fill compatibility trials — oils, suspensions, powders
- Shell engineering — thickness, transparency, mold geometry
