Swiss-Dutch health and nutrition company dsm-firmenich has introduced a new portfolio of taste solutions specifically designed for use in pharmaceutical formulations, with the aim of improving drug palatability and accelerating route to market.
The portfolio encompasses numerous flavors, extracts and aromatic compounds, as well as maskers, blockers, and sensates. The solutions are designed for use in solid, liquid or semi-solid dosage forms. Each product is supported by access to a comprehensive documentation package, designed to facilitate the drug approval process.

We’ve unraveled the complex science of designing clean taste profiles to tackle these issues, allowing our customers to focus on effectively bringing their medicines to market,” said Jérôme Barra, Vice President Global Marketing Taste, HNC at dsm-firmenich.
