Taste Assessment - FlavorMetrics^SM Bitterness Profile

Quantify the taste making challenge of your API early in the development process.

The taste masking challenge of an API is typically a function of its bitter time-intensity profile. The stronger the intensity and longer the duration of the bitterness, the greater the taste masking challenge. To create a palatable drug product, the off-flavors of the API and excipients must be masked throughout the duration of the aftertaste, which can last from 30 seconds to 30 minutes or longer.

The FlavorMetrics^SM Bitterness Profile provides quantitative data to inform formulation development.  The FlavorMetrics^SM Bitterness Profile can:

• Quantify the taste masking challenge of the API
• Identify the API form (free base, salt, morphology) with the lowest bitterness profile
• Assess the effectiveness of alternative taste masking technologies

The FlavorMetrics^SM Bitterness Profile removes subjectivity from taste assessment.
