Food Studies Close-Up

Key Concepts

  • Alternate methods for administration are often needed for solid oral dosage forms, especially for pediatric and geriatric patient groups
  • Foods and drinks are often used as taste-masking agents and thus require food studies
  • Complex analytical methodology may be needed due to the wide variety of matrices encountered
  • Evaluation of functionality after exposure, compared to a control
  • Evaluation of the stability of the product in the food or drink under test
  • Studies are designed around an understanding of the chemical characteristics of the active and excipient components, as well as the foods/drinks to be evaluated
