Hot Melt Extrusion Technology in Taste Masking

AAPS PharmSciTech
Abstract Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a widely used method of taste masking in medication formulations, notably for bitter Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). This continuous, solvent-free technique successfully wraps APIs within a polymer matrix, forming a barrier that considerably decreases bitterness perception.
