Taste assessment and optimization of oral formulations
by
David Tisi, M.S.
(Senopsys LLC)
The development of palatable oral formulations is important to dosing compliance, particularly for children. This is bolstered by regulations in the United States and European Union that stimulate research into the development of drug products for pediatric dosing. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are known to be bitter or have other undesirable sensory attributes including smell or trigeminal irritation. In addition, excipients used to increase drug solubility or for preservation, for example, are known to create or exacerbate the taste masking challenge. This presentation will provide an overview of sensory perception and strategies available to the formulator to develop palatable drug products. Case examples will be used to illustrate key principles of taste assessment and optimization of drug products. Topics include:- Anatomy and physiology of taste and smell
- Fundamentals of perception (Psychophysics)
- Sensory analysis methods
- Quantitative taste assessment tools
- Taste acceptance testing with children
- Formulation strategies for optimizing the palatability of drug products
