Characterisation of human saliva as a platform for oral dissolution medium development (2015)
Journal Article
Gittings, S., Turnbull, N., Henry, B., Roberts, C. J., & Gershkovich, P. (2015). Characterisation of human saliva as a platform for oral dissolution medium development. European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 91, 16-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2015.01.007

Human saliva is a biological fluid of great importance in the field of dissolution testing. However, until now, no consensus has been reached on its key characteristics relevant to dissolution testing. As a result, it is difficult to select or develo...
