This review paper explores the role of human taste panels and artificial neural networks (ANNs) in taste-masking paediatric drug formulations.

Taste panellists need not be experts in sensory evaluation so long as a reference product is used during evaluation; however, they should be screened for bitterness taste detection thresholds. ...
