Recent Studies from University of Muenster Add New Data to Pharmaceutics (Critical View on the Qualification of Electronic Tongues Regarding Their Performance in the Development of Peroral Drug Formulations with Bitter Ingredients).

A recent study from the University of Muenster in Germany examines the use of electronic tongues (e-tongues) in pharmaceutical drug development. The researchers critically evaluate the performance of e-tongues in assessing peroral formulations with bitter active pharmaceutical ingredients. They review the literature from the past decade to determine if e-tongues meet expectations and have the potential to become a standard tool in drug development. The study finds reliable protocols for the qualified performance of e-tongue instruments, taste-masking assessments, and the evaluation of bitterness under certain circumstances.
