Taste Assessment - FlavorMetricsSM Palatability Profile
Measure the flavor quality of prototypes and competing products.
Patient acceptability of a drug product is a function of both its initial taste
characteristics and the aftertaste it leaves behind. Both must be addressed otherwise palatability suffers. When palatability suffers so do patient adherence, health outcomes and product sales.
The FlavorMetricsSM Palatability Profile is an empirical model that relates the quality of the initial flavor and aftertaste. It can be used to:
- Guide formulation decisions during clinical and commercial development
- Predict palatability and patient acceptance
- Compare flavor quality of prototypes to marketed products
- Select flavor quality target
- Monitor development progress
- Support stability studies
The FlavorMetricsSM Palatability Profile takes the guesswork out of product launch decisions.
