Abstract: Taste is an important factor influencing the efficacy of oral formulations and patient compliance. Children have unique pathological and physiological characteristics and poor tolerance to adverse taste, which leads to inaccurate dosing and high risk of medication administration. Therefore, the establishment of an objective and scientific taste evaluation method is an important part of the research and development of drugs for children, which has important clinical significance and scientific value. This research group organized experts in the field of taste design and evaluation of pediatric drugs from five dimensions: instrumentation, research and development, clinical, review, and regulation, to clarify the current situation, discuss problems, and propose strategies for improvement, so as to provide reference for the development of suitable oral formulations for children.
