• Abstract:

  COVID-19, a virus of unknown origin which alarmed the world at a pandemic level, has led to numerous consequences, both social and physical-biological. In this context, the annulment of smell and taste is one of the most cited biological results in the face of this disease, germinating other harmful intercurrences. Thus, it was observed through a literature review that stimulating the taste buds helps to encourage taste, promoting a better perception of food. Thus, an oral gum called Gusmami was developed, which will contain a single-dose solid pharmaceutical form with one or more active principles, consisting of insoluble, sweet and tasty plastic material. It will have the properties of Umami (glutamate, 5'-inosinate and 5'-guanylate) which is considered as the fifth basic taste of taste and the gum will be used before meals, whose purpose is to rehabilitate both the consequences of COVID-19.
