This lecture will introduce research results on cultivation techniques that enhance the immune activity of naked oats. 

In particular, it will explain how the content of avenanthramide, a high-functioning antioxidant component of oat grains, varies depending on the sowing time, and the research findings on the enhancement of immune activity of the grains due to the increased ripening temperature of oats sown in spring.​

The first presentation introduces the results of in vitro and in vivo tests on the menopausal improvement effect of oat hull extract. The osteoporosis preventive effects of domestically developed oat husk extracts by suppressing osteoclast differentiation and promoting osteoblast differentiation, changes in estrogen hormones ER-α and ER-β, bone density enhancement as a result of mouse experiments, changes in body temperature and weight, and changes in organ weight such as the uterus were investigated. At this time, estradiol was used as a positive control.

The second presentation introduces the results of confirming the antibacterial effect of corn leaf extract against the causative bacteria of periodontitis and the osteoblast formation effect. Corn leaf extract, an agricultural by-product, was treated with S. mutans, S. sobrinus or P. gingivalis bacteria. Corn leaf extract inhibited the growth of fungi and showed an osteoblast formation effect in cells. In addition, the periodontitis improvement effect was verified in a periodontitis model caused by ligation of the maxillary molars in C57BL/6 mice.​

The unpleasant taste is the biggest barrier for completing therapy in pediatric population because of their natural heightened taste sensitivity and aversion to bitter or unpleasant drugs. The taste masking of bitter or unpleasant drugs has demonstrated to improve the compliance up to 90% in pediatrics. So, taste masking of bitter drugs is crucial to improve medication acceptance and adherence in pediatrics. This presentation will discuss the significance of taste masking in pediatrics and various strategies of taste masking. Additionally, Adare's coacervation or phase separation process, one of the efficient taste masking technologies (Microcaps®), will be discussed in detail with pediatric-friendly ease-to-swallow dosage formats for application of taste masked multiparticulates.

Learning Objectives: 

• Significance of taste masking to improve acceptance in pediatric populations
• Taste masking strategies
• Coacervation or phase separation process - Microcaps®
• Pediatric-friendly easy-to-swallow dosage formats
