dsm-firmenich launches novel taste solutions portfolio for pharmaceutical applications

dsm-firmenich – a leading innovator in nutrition, health, and beauty – today reveals the introduction of a new portfolio of taste solutions specifically designed for use in pharmaceutical formulations. This novel offering has been carefully curated for drug developers, to address the growing challenges of improving drug palatability and accelerate the route to market.

The portfolio builds on the company’s long history in developing taste solutions across markets, applying its extensive expertise to create safe and effective flavors for drug formulations. It encompasses numerous flavors, extracts, and aromatic compounds, as well as maskers, blockers, and sensates - with solutions 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.

Jérôme Barra, Vice President Global Marketing Taste, HNC at dsm-firmenich, comments: “We are incredibly excited to unveil this new range of taste solutions for our customers in the pharmaceutical industry. The demand for patient-friendly medications is on the rise, but drug developers face many challenges in masking unpleasant notes and improving the taste of drug products. We’ve unraveled the complex science of designing clean taste profiles to tackle these issues, allowing our customers to focus on bringing effectively their medicines to market.”
