Measuring Mechanical Properties of Medicated Chewing Gum and Evaluating Chewing Efficiency for Different Shape Teeth
Abstract
However, the lack of suitable testing methods has slowed its adoption by the pharmaceutical industry. The official pharmacopoeia does not
recommend a formal test method to determine the mechanical properties of MCGs. This project uses a two-bite test method to assess the mechanical and textural properties of MCG to investigate the effect of experimental parameters on the results.
