The t<strong>as</strong>te map shows significant discrimination between placebo and active solutions.Liquid sensors are able to detect <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> drug in <strong>the</strong> coated <strong>for</strong>mulations.Focusing on pure drug in water <strong>the</strong> complex with Eudragit polymer (L100) at 90% shows abetter t<strong>as</strong>te improvement compared to Acryl EZE coating (Fig. 5.5a). The distance proximitywith placebo is about four times less important.Fig. 5.5a: Signal comparison between active and placebo <strong>for</strong>mulations with Eudragit L100and Acryl-EZE coatings on cetirizine HCl and verapamil HCl (dissolution <strong>for</strong> 60s).The correlation model is considered <strong>as</strong> valid and fits with panel perception (Fig 5.5b;R² > 0.8). But it should be taken with care <strong>as</strong> all data on sensory tests (number <strong>of</strong> panelists,variability on me<strong>as</strong>urement) were not communicated.98 | P a g e
