Abstract

In accordance with the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC), excipients are any component used during the production procedure or included in a finished medicinal formulation but which is not an active ingredient or a prodrug. The USP-NF defines Forty different types of additives for usage in medicines. Another of the classes, organoleptic compliance, gives medicines flavor and color. Medicine is made more palatable by adding flavors.  Again, depending on where they originate, these tastes are classified as natural, artificial, or natural and artificial (N&A). To deliver not only tastes but also a delightful flavor, flavoring agents are used in pharmaceutical preparations such edible syrup, oral suspension, herbal remedies, pills, tablets that can be chewed, bubbly tablets, easily dispersed tablets, and ODT. They are used to boost patient compliance or enhance the taste of therapeutic dosage forms.
