Taste Masking Technology Platform
-
The bitterness of drugs mainly arises because, after dissolving in the mouth, they activate bitter taste receptors through taste cells or directly bind to bitter taste receptor proteins, transmitting the bitterness signal to the taste center via nerves, ultimately resulting in the sensation of "bitterness".
-
Taste-masking technology suppresses the binding of drugs to bitter taste receptor proteins by adding flavoring agents, inhibitors, coating the drug, or forming complexes, thus cleverly masking the bitterness.
-
The company has introduced a taste analysis system, which provides a more efficient and objective evaluation of drug bitterness, improves the efficiency of taste-masking evaluations, and aids in developing palatable pediatric formulations.
