Colors are applied through various methods, including simple dissolution or dispersion, or coloring or plating the powder formulation, which is then compressed and made into tablets. Products are also coated with color systems in order to apply the color and to achieve the final desired shade, brightness and intensity.

Flavors may be used to provide a pleasing taste profile for a children’s syrup or medicine, for example, or to help to cover or to mask some of the off notes which come with some of the ingredients used in the product formulation. These products which are added to cover or mask an off flavor note, are known as masking agents.

The flavors used can range from sweet and citrus, to floral and fruity.
