To circumvent the bad taste of drugs, many technologies are available, such as pro-drugs synthesis, formulating with flavors and sweeteners or coating drug particles with a lipid film. The versatility of the latter technology is particularly attractive and at Gattefossé we have worked on developing a simple, efficient and robust taste masking method. Simple We use a standard high shear mixer, very common equipment in the pharmaceutical industry, with a limited number of process parameters to...

Abstract This review summarizes recent progress of the robust and smart hydrogels prepared from natural polymers including polysaccharides, proteins, etc. These hydrogels exhibit outstanding mechanical properties due to their nanofibrous aggregated microstructures and special crosslinking networks. Furthermore, these hydrogels show some smart stimuli-responsive behaviors triggered by pH, temperature, light, electricity and magnetism. Hopefully, these hydrogels derived from natural polymers with...
