EBInnov® PRECISE
Product Engineering | Formulation & Sensory Analysis | 3 Themes
- New ingredients
- Sensory evaluation & instrumental characterization
- Experiment plans & active learning
Efficiency, safety and sensoriality
EBInnov® PRECISE contributes to the development of innovative health and wellness products, firmly believing that sensory experience plays a significant role in the success of an innovation, complementing the efficacy and safety requirements expected by consumers. Its expertise in this field has been demonstrated for over 20 years, notably through its sensory panel of trained experts, an international benchmark for evaluating cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. This expertise is offered through three programs.
- Intelligent data generation methods
- Sensory reference points, drug acceptability
- Instrumental/sensory correlation methods
Sourcing of ingredients
Research into new sources of active ingredients and functional ingredients to improve the efficacy, stability and sensory qualities of emulsions, suspensions, gels…
Formulation, design
Development of products combining traditional design technologies and mathematical modelling, in order to efficiently reach technical and sensory targets.
Sensory protocols
Design and validation of sensory methods for topical or ingested products to measure their performance and acceptability. This capability now includes the evaluation of hair formulations on hair strands.
Key projects
- Domino: Mathematical modeling for machine learning to optimize experimental approaches
- Odessa: a sensory characterization method based on the modeling of instrumental measurements
- Pediataste: development of sensory studies for the acceptability of pediatric drugs
EDCTP Partnership
EBInnov® is part of the international research program PLR “(European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership), which aims to develop new drug forms of primaquine, a major antimalarial treatment. The aim is to mask the bitterness of primaquine and thus improve its acceptability to children. For this project, the EBInnov® Galenics team defines a methodology for flavour screening using its Sensory Analysis Panel.
