Abstract

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for delivering an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to a substrate, such as an edible. In particular, an API-containing liquid is dosed from a dosing head in small increments. Because the volume of API-containing liquid dosed in each increment is known, and the concentration of API in the API-containing liquid is known, the amount of API incrementally driven out of the dosing head in the API-containing liquid is known. Among the API driven out of the dosing head, a majority can be delivered to the substrate, for instance as individual successive droplets or as a stream. A minority can remain adhered to the dosing head as a residual API. A wash fluid can be applied to the dosing head to remove the residual API and deliver the residual API to the substrate.
