Abstract

Tablets have collectively served the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry for about 200 years. While, food industry has just recently developed the food products in the form of tablet. Hence, great materials are identified in order to produce the suitability of them to be adopted into tablet form. In view of that, this study focuses on the raw materials of coffee mix which consisted of instant coffee, non-dairy creamer and refined sugar cane with the introduction of disintegrant excipient which is effervescent agent which are sodium carbonate and citric acid, as well as magnesium stearate, which acts as lubricant. In this study, it is conducted to investigate the effect of different compaction pressure and the properties of tablets that consist of coffee mix powders, effervescent agent and lubricant. In this experiment, the compaction pressures that were used to form the tablets are 22.6 MPa, 3 7. 7 MPa, 52. 7 MPa and 67.8 MPa. Accordingly, the findings indicate that the increasing the compaction pressure will increase the strength of the tablets and the dissolution time of tablets. The ejection force and ejection· of work are also increased as ·-the compaction pressure -· increased-. Other than that, this research also studied the effect of different formulation on the performance of tablets. There were three formulations for 1 ± 0.1 g of tablet, which are tablet A, B and C. Tablet A act as a control, which consist of coffee mix, where tablet B consist of coffee mix and effervescent agent, and tablet C consist of coffee mix, effervescent agent and 2% of magnesium stearate. The findings from this research also indicate that the effervescent agent in tablet C will decrease the strength of tablets and reduced the dissolution time of tablets. The maximum ejection pressure and ejection work will also have decreased due to the exist of magnesium stearate. This study also determines the physical properties of all the powders before binary mixture tablets are developed. This is could be depended upon the particle size, particle size distribution, particle densities, flowability and porosity. As a conclusion, effervescent coffee mix tablets are successfully produced in this study. The results have shown that tablet C which consist of coffee mix, effervescent agent and lubricant, as the best tablet production in term of lowest ejection force and ejection work required to extrude the tablet out of the die due to its lowest friction force. Furthermore, it also lowers the mechanical strength and reduce dissolution time of tablet.
