“…Generally, for immediate release tablets, porosity/pore structure plays a central role in enabling the transport of dissolution liquid in tablets to activate the disintegration process ( Al-Sharabi et al, 2020 ; Dong and Zeitler, 2022 ; Markl et al, 2017a , Markl et al, 2018b , Markl et al, 2020 ; Markl and Zeitler, 2017 ). It has been demonstrated previously that terahertz spectroscopy can be used as a rapid and non-destructive method to measure tablet porosity reliably ( Anuschek et al, 2021 ; Bawuah et al, 2014 , Bawuah et al, 2016 , Bawuah et al, 2020 ; Markl et al, 2017b , Markl et al, 2018a ; Moradikouchi et al, 2022 ).…”
