Sensory evaluation of albendazole suspensions

Sensory analysis was used in the albendazole suspension stability study. Three formulations were prepared and stored for 1, 3, and 6 months at 4 ±1, 26 ±1, 37, 50 and 65 ºC. Samples were evaluated through the difference from control sensory test using 24 trained judges in individual cabins. Although albendazole content was not altered in the conditions studied, sensory test showed differences between control and stored samples, except for one of the formulations stored under refrigeration for one month. These results have shown that the sensory evaluation is an important tool for quality control of pharmaceutical preparations, in association with chemical, physicochemical and microbiological tests.
