Abstract
This work presents an indicator-based assessment of potential supply risks for pharmaceutical excipients. The assessment was conducted systematically through the steps of survey, data collection, and indicator value calculation. Japan was specified as the target, and all marketed products were analyzed. As the basis of the indicator, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI), a well-established method for measuring market concentration in economics, was adopted. Modifications were made to enable comparison of the risk levels of compounds, dosage forms, and diseases. Case studies were performed on each of these levels, and recommendations were obtained for risk mitigation. On the compound level, magnesium stearate, a commonly used lubricant, showed the highest risk, and a switch to alternative compounds was recommended. The dosage-form level evaluation showed that tablets and capsules could have higher risk levels than granules, indicating the importance of diversification. Finally, the disease-level evaluation showed that the supply of adult disease drugs might be risky because of the frequent use of tablets; less reliance on tablet forms was advised for adult diseases.

Abstract
Bitterness is one of the basic tastes, and sensing bitterness plays a significant role in mammals recognizing toxic substances. The bitter taste of food and oral medicines may decrease consumer compliance. As a result, many efforts have been made to mask or decrease the bitterness in food and oral pharmaceutical products. The detection of bitterness is critical to evaluate how successful the taste-masking technology is, and many novel taste-sensing systems have been developed on the basis of various interaction mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the progress of bitterness response mechanisms and the development of novel sensors in detecting bitterness ranging from commercial electronic devices based on modified electrodes to micro-type sensors functionalized with taste cells, polymeric membranes, and other materials in the last two decades. The challenges and potential solutions to improve the taste sensor quality are also discussed.

Abstract
Palatability is one of the most critical characteristics of oral preparations. Therefore, the exploration of new techniques to mask the aversive taste of drugs is in continuous demand. In this study, we fabricated and characterized composites based on mesoporous silica (MPS) that consisted of MPS, a bitter drug, and release regulators. We conducted a palatability evaluation to assess the taste-masking efficacy of the composites. The composites were prepared using the dry impregnation method combined with hot-melt extrusion. Morphology and components distribution in composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, powder flow properties evaluation, and nitrogen-sorption measurement. The results demonstrated that drugs mainly existed in the inner pore of composites, and release regulators existed in the inner pore and covered the composites' surface. Interactions among the composite components were studied using powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The drug loaded into the composites was amorphous, and an intermolecular interaction occurred between the drug and the MPS. Taste-masked composites significantly reduced drug release levels under mouth conditions; thus, they prevented the interaction of the dissolved drug with taste receptors and improved palatability. An electronic tongue evaluation and a human taste panel assessment confirmed the better palatability of taste-masked composites. Moreover, the desired drug release behavior can be adjusted by choosing an appropriate release regulator, with stronger hydrophobicity of release regulators resulting in slower drug release. This work has provided new insights into taste-masking strategies for drugs with unpleasant tastes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop a pediatric oral preparation for ibuprofen. SIGNIFICANCE Ibuprofen is widely used for defervescence in children, but medication compliance is poor due to its bitter taste. Dry emulsions possess good stability and can be transported and stored in solid form; they can be dispersed into liquid emulsions with water and easily administered to children. METHODS In this study, a dry emulsion excipient was prepared by spray drying: a mixture of orange peel and corn oils (3:7, w/w) was used as the oil phase and solvent for ibuprofen; gum arabic and gum tragacanth were chosen as emulsifiers; and maltodextrin was used as a solid carrier. RESULTS The particle sizes of the liquid and reconstituted emulsions were 5.75 µm and 6.11 µm, respectively; the average particle size distribution of the dry emulsion powder was 8.13 µm; scanning electron microscopy showed that the dry emulsion powder was composed of evenly distributed smooth spheres. At a drug loading of 36.52 ± 1.15 mg/g, 90% of ibuprofen was released from the dry emulsion excipient within 30 min. Sensory evaluations using human volunteers, rats, and an electronic tongue demonstrated that the emulsion had a taste-masking effect on ibuprofen. It was further corroborated by in vivo studies using a rat model that highlighted a 1.76-fold increase in ibuprofen absorption when the drug was administered as an emulsion compared with granules. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the dry emulsion for taste-masking is promising and valuable in the development of ibuprofen for pediatrics.

Abstract
The palatability of medications is an essential factor for children's adherence to drug treatment. Several methods for drug taste assessment have been developed. The aim of this review is to explore the literature reports of the main methods for the evaluation of medicines taste, named electronic tongue (e-tongue, in vitro) and human sensory panel. A systematic search was performed up to March 2020 and a total of 88 articles were selected. The e-tongue (57.5%) has been more frequently described than the sensory panel (10.3%), while some articles (32.2%) used both techniques. 74.7% of the articles mentioned 'pediatric', 'paediatric' or 'children' in the text, but only 19.5% developed formulations targeting pediatric audience and sensory testing in children is rarely seen. The e-tongue has predominance of use in the taste evaluation of pediatric medicines probably since it is fast, easy to perform and risk free, besides presenting less imprecise data and no fatigue. The human panel is more realistic, despite its intrinsic variability. In this sense, it is proposed the use of e-tongue as a fast way to select the most promising sample(s) and, after that, the sensory panel should be applied in order to confirm the taste masking.

Abstract
This research has aimed to improve the stability and taste-masking properties by developing nanostructured dosage forms containing Saquinavir. Liquid formulations were developed using Eudragit RS100® and Pullulan as polymers. The physicochemical characteristics, stability, in vitro drug release, morphology, mucoadhesion and taste masking capacity were evaluated. The Saquinavir-nanoparticles had average diameters between 136 and 158 nm, with a Span below 1.4. These formulations presented a drug content above 80%, a high encapsulation efficiency (>97%), slightly acidic pH levels, low dynamic viscosity and controlled drug release. Electron microscopy revealed irregular spherical nanoparticles. The formulations prepared with higher amounts of Eudragit RS100® had greater mucoadhesion. Both polymers were able to improve drug stabilization, taste-masking properties and protection against drug cytotoxicity. The Saquinavir-nanoparticles exhibited stability and control releasing properties, thus making it a promising liquid dosage form with taste-masking properties intended for application in pediatric treatment.

Abstract
Meat and fish chemical composition and sensory attributes are markers of quality that require innovative assessment methods as existing ones are rather technical, laborious, and expensive. Emerging trends of advanced technology instruments have been lauded in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries for their high sensitivity, customizability, rapidness and affordability. Common among these, are the electronic tongue (e-tongue) and electronic nose (e-nose) but their use for meat and fish quality, remains scanty and scattered. This paper aims to systematically discuss the developing trends, principles and the recent use of e-tongue and e-nose for quality measurements in fish and meat. From over 90 research papers, it was observed that an arsenal of chemometric tools have been pivotal in applying these instruments for rapid quantitative, qualitative and predictive analysis of some physical properties, chemical properties, storability and the authentication of meat and fish. Both instruments require no reagent (waste free analytical procedure) and have been lauded for precision and*accuracy but e-nose may be better suited for meat and fish assessments. Unlike the e-tongue, e-nose requires no liquid sample preparation and portable versions are promising for rapid remote analysis of meat and fish samples that can save cost on transferring carcass to laboratories.

Abstract
Taste is of five basic types, namely, sourness, saltiness, sweetness, bitterness and umami. In this review, we focus on a potentiometric taste sensor that we developed and fabricated using lipid polymer membranes. The taste sensor can measure the taste perceived by humans and is called an electronic tongue with global selectivity, which is the property to discriminate taste qualities and quantify them without discriminating each chemical substance. This property is similar to the gustatory system; hence, the taste sensor is a type of biomimetic device. In this paper, we first explain the sensing mechanism of the taste sensor, its application to beer evaluation and the measurement mechanism. Second, results recently obtained are introduced; i.e., the application of the senor to high-potency sweeteners and the improvement of the bitterness sensor are explained. Last, quantification of the bitterness-masking effect of high-potency sweeteners is explained using a regression analysis based on both the outputs of bitterness and sweetness sensors. The taste sensor provides a biomimetic method different from conventional analytical methods.

Abstract
Lacosamide (LCM) is a third-generation antiepileptic drug. Selective action of the drug on voltage-gated sodium channels reduces side effects. Oral administration of LCM shows good pharmacokinetic profile. However, the bitter taste of LCM is a barrier to the development of oral formulations. In this study, we aimed to prepare encapsulated LCM microparticles (MPs) for masking its bitter taste. Encapsulated LCM MPs were prepared with Eudragit® E100 (E100), a pH-dependent polymer, by spray drying. Three formulations comprising different ratios of LCM and E100 (3:1, 1:1, and 1:3) were prepared. Physicochemical tests showed that LCM was in an amorphous state in the prepared formulations, and they were not miscible. LCM-E100 (1:3) had a rough surface due to surface enrichment of LCM. Increased E100 ratio in LCM-E100 MPs resulted in better taste-making effectiveness: LCM-E100 (1:1) and LCM-E100 (1:3) showed good taste-masking effectiveness, while LCM-E100 (3:1) could not mask the bitter taste of LCM. Dissolution results of the prepared formulations showed good correlation with taste-masking effectiveness. Nevertheless, high E100 ratio reduced the stability of the prepared formulations. Especially the difference in initial dissolution profile observed for LCM-E100 (1:3) indicated rapid reduction in taste-masking effectiveness and surface recrystallization. Therefore, LCM-E100 formulation in the ratio of 1:1 was selected as the best formulation with good taste-masking effectiveness and stability.

Abstract
The microsphere was a primary particulate system for taste-masking with unique structural features defined by production process. In this article, ibuprofen lipid microspheres of octadecanol and glycerin monostearate were prepared to mask the undesirable taste of ibuprofen via three kinds of spray congealing processes, namely, air-cooling, water-cooling and citric acid solution-cooling. The stereoscopic and internal structures of ibuprofen microspheres were quantitatively analyzed by synchrotron radiation X-ray micro-computed tomography (SR-µCT) to establish the relationship between the preparation process and microsphere architectures. It was found that the microstructure and morphology of the microspheres were significantly influenced by preparation processes as the primary factors to determine the release profiles and taste-masking effects. The sphericity of ibuprofen microspheres congealed in citric acid solution was higher than that of other two and its morphology was more regular than that being congealed in air or distilled water, and the contact angles between congealing media and melted ibuprofen in octadecanol and glycerin monostearate well demonstrated the structure differences among microspheres of three processes which controlled the release characteristics of the microspheres. The structure parameters like porosity, sphericity, and radius ratio from quantitative analysis were correlated well with drug release behaviors. The results demonstrated that the exterior morphology and internal structure of microspheres had considerable influences on the drug release behaviors as well as taste-masking effects.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese herbs (TCH) are currently gaining attention in disease prevention and health care plans. However, their general bitter taste hinders their use. Despite the development of a variety of taste evaluation methods, it is still a major challenge to establish a quantitative detection technique that is objective, authentic and sensitive. Based on the two-bottle preference test (TBP), we proposed a novel quantitative strategy using a standardized animal test and a unified quantitative benchmark. To reduce the difference of results, the methodology of TBP was optimized. The relationship between the concentration of quinine and animal preference index (PI) was obtained. Then the PI of TCH was measured through TBP, and bitterness results were converted into a unified numerical system using the relationship of concentration and PI. To verify the authenticity and sensitivity of quantified results, human sensory testing and electronic tongue testing were applied. The quantified results showed a good discrimination ability. For example, the bitterness of Coptidis Rhizoma was equal to 0.0579 mg/mL quinine, and Nelumbinis Folium was equal to 0.0001 mg/mL. The validation results proved that the new assessment method for TCH was objective and reliable. In conclusion, this study provides an option for the quantification of bitterness and the evaluation of taste masking effects.
