A novel data-driven approach to assess the chewability and grittiness of the chewable tablets using a texture analysis

We developed a novel data-driven approach that offers a standardized assessment system to evaluate palatability characteristics in chewable tablets, facilitating more consistent formulation comparisons and potential optimization for consumer acceptability. This approach highlights the utility of texture analysis in transitioning empirical palatability assessments to objective, quantifiable methods, which may extend to other oral dosage forms.
