Preparation of a kind effervescent tablet with bee propolis extract / Nur Afifah Muda

This study aimed to formulate and prepare an effervescent tablet containing extracts of bee propolis and to perform the study of effervescence time, pH, and solubility of the prepared tablet. In this study, the prototype and formulations of the effervescent tablet were calculated precisely and were prepared by using two methods which are the fusion method and the compression method. In addition, the tablets were incorporated with propolis extract that contained bioactive compounds. The prepared tablets were evaluated for their effervescence time, pH, and solubility before being determined as the best formulations tablet. The results of the effervescent tablets produced by the fusion and direct compression methods show that formulation 1 turns out to be the best formulation of the prepared tablets with effervescence time <1 minute, solution pH <6, and highest solubility which is 5.0.
