Article Synopsis
- Safe and healthy food is a basic right, but foodborne pathogens pose significant risks, with around 48 million people affected and 3,000 deaths annually, according to the CDC.
- Traditional methods for detecting these pathogens, like PCR and ELISA, are accurate but come with drawbacks such as complexity and high reagent costs.
- Microfluidic devices offer a promising alternative, improving efficiency and accuracy in pathogen detection, and have the potential to create low-cost, portable testing solutions.
Chewable gummies are an attractive dosage form for all age groups because of their appearance and texture. Although, this dosage form has been highly preferred administering nutraceuticals, its application in the pharmaceutical sector is worth exploring. In this study, simethicone (SMT), an OTC drug prescribed for anti-flatulence was incorporated in pectin- based, low-calorie, 3D printed gummies.
