Chinese gelatin

Chinese wax is a white to yellowish-white, gelatinous, crystalline, water-insoluble substance obtained from the secretion of the scaled insect Coccus ceriferus, common in China and India. Chinese wax is used chiefly in the manufacture of polishes, sizes, and candles and is traditionally employed in Chinese medicine. It is basically made up of ceryl cerotate (esacosanoyl esacosanoate) and esacosanol [78,79].

Certain people may object to the finings used in wines on moral grounds, but the lack of relevant additives listed on the label make it impossible for the consumer to be able to choose. Permitted finings include isinglass (from the swim bladder of certain tropical fish, especially the Chinese sturgeon), egg albumen, gelatine (from animal bones), modified casein (from milk), tannin (from wood), chitin (from the shells of crabs or lobsters) or ox blood (rarely used today). Non-animal alternatives include bentonite, kieselguhr and kaolin clays, and silica gel or solution.

Sino-Ethiop Associate (Africa) PEC (SEAA) was established in March 2001 as a joint venture between an Ethiopian company, Zaf Pharmaceuticals PEC, and two Chinese companies (China Associate Croup and Dandong JINWAN Croup). SEAA produces empty hard gelatin capsules and sells them to pharmaceutical factories in Africa and the Middle East. Recently, SEAA completed its expansion project and doubled its production capacity, to 2.4 billion capsules annually. SEAA has recently acquired Certificate of PIC/S conformity. It will be shown later that companies established through joint venture have been generally successful.
