Abstract: The diversity of the chemical structures and physicochemical properties of pharmaceuticals presents significant challenges to developing acceptable flavored products for patients. A pleasant flavor is important to the success of a product in the marketplace. This discussion focuses on the following common flavor enhancers: Citric Acid USP, Ethyl Maltol, Ethyl Vanillin NF, Fructose USP, Fumaric Acid NF, Malic Acid NF, Maltol, Menthol USP, Monosodium Glutamate NF, Sodium Chloride USP, Stevia, Tartaric Acid NF and Vanillin NF. A table provides information about selected physicochemical properties of flavor enhancers.
