Bitter Masking Pharmaceutical Liquid Flavors Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Bitter Masking Pharmaceutical Liquid Flavors Extra Pure is a high-quality formulation designed to effectively mask unpleasant or bitter tastes in oral pharmaceutical preparations during laboratory research and development. This flavoring agent is essential in the compounding of liquid medications, syrups, and suspensions, particularly for pediatric and geriatric studies, where palatability is crucial for compliance. It is crafted to maintain chemical compatibility with active ingredients while preserving the stability and efficacy of the formulation. The extra pure grade ensures low impurity levels, consistent performance, and safety in sensitive pharmaceutical applications. It should be stored in a tightly sealed container, away from light and heat, to preserve its flavor integrity and quality.

Description

USES

Table of Contents

Primary Uses

Flavor Masking in Oral Pharmaceutical Formulations
- Used to neutralize or reduce bitterness in liquid medications, syrups, and suspensions, especially those containing APIs with unpleasant taste (e.g., antibiotics, alkaloids).
Sensory Evaluation and Taste Panel Testing
- Employed in controlled organoleptic studies to optimize flavor profiles of new drug formulations, ensuring patient compliance.
Prototype Development in Pediatric and Geriatric Medicines
- Added during lab-scale formulation of palatable dosage forms tailored to sensitive populations who often reject bitter medicines.
Stability Testing of Flavored Compounds
- Used in accelerated and real-time stability testing to assess flavor retention and interaction with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Secondary Uses

Training Aid in Pharmaceutical Compounding Education
- Demonstrates taste-masking strategies to pharmacy and formulation science students in practical lab courses.
Comparative Studies of Masking Agents
- Used in research comparing natural vs synthetic flavor masks, or evaluating efficacy against different bitter compounds.
Veterinary Pharmaceutical Testing
- Assessed in lab formulations for animal medications, where bitterness must also be suppressed for oral administration.
Nutraceutical & Supplement Development
- Sometimes tested in liquid dietary supplements or herbal extracts that require taste masking.

Safety Handling Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear lab coat, disposable gloves, and safety goggles.
- Ensure good ventilation or work under a fume hood.
Handling:
- Avoid inhalation and direct contact with skin or eyes.
- Keep away from heat, open flames, and oxidizers.
- Handle with clean instruments to avoid contamination.
Storage:
- Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid extreme temperatures and exposure to air, which may degrade flavor integrity.
- Keep away from reactive substances (e.g., strong acids/bases or oxidizers).
Hygiene Measures:
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the laboratory area.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:
- Remove to fresh air.
- If discomfort or irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
- Wash with soap and water.
- Seek medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
- Seek medical help if symptoms persist.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water (if conscious).
- Although generally considered non-toxic in small quantities, seek medical attention due to concentrated formulation.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media:
- Use CO₂, dry chemical, or alcohol-resistant foam.
- Water spray may be used to cool surroundings, but not directly on product.
Fire Hazards:
- May be flammable, depending on solvent base (often alcohols or esters).
- Combustion may release irritating vapors or toxic fumes.
