“…The methods that have been reported for evaluation of colon targeted delivery systems include triggering by enzymes (Philip et al, 2008;Fetzner et al, 2004;Macfarlane et al, 1989;Maculotti et al, 2009;Maestrelli et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2012;Semde et al, 2000a,b Omar et al, 2007Jain et al, 2007a,b et al, 2010), rat caecal contents (Rubinstein et al, 1993;Jain et al, 2007a,b;Watanabe et al, 1998;Takemura et al, 2000;Tiwari et al, 2011;Shukla et al, 2012Shukla et al, , 2011Krishnaiah et al, 2001;Shyale et al, 2005;Ravi et al, 2008;Varshosaz et al, 2010;Singhal et al, 2011;Wei et al, 2007;Seal and Mathers, 2001), human faecal slurries (Salunkhe and Kulkarni, 2008;Siew et al, 2000Siew et al, , 2004McConnel et al, 2007;Karrout et al, 2009;Krenzlin et al, 2011), and multi stage compound culture system (Yang, 2008;Kotla et al, 2014;Schacht et al, 1996). Despite a large number of research reports on microbially triggered delivery systems for colon delivery, no such product is commercially available.…”
