Abstract

The tableting properties for fermented spray dried jackfruit (FJP) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) powders were studied. 25 FJP 75 MCC 50 FJP 50 MCC and 75 FJP 25 MCC binary powder mixtures were compacted into tablet form at various compaction pressures ranging from 15.1 to 73.8 MPa. The properties were compared to pure FJP and MCC tablets. The addition of MCC resulted in a higher particle size and the increased in the plastic work of the tablet. The best ratio of FJP-MCC binary tablet was found to be at 25 FJP 75 MCC where the tablet showed the highest tensile strength. In conclusion the addition of MCC to FJP improved the compaction characteristics and the tablet mechanical strength.
