Abstract
The present invention provides improved beverage mix tablets and an improved process for preparing them. According to the improved process, a dipeptide sweetener, acidulent, colorant and hydrophilic material are blended to form a dry mix with which an aqueous moistener comprising glycerine and monocalcium phosphate is admixed to form a cohesive powder. The moistened cohesive powder is then mixed with a disintegrant to form a tabletable mixture which can be suitably compressed to form a coherent tablet which has a tablet density, after drying, of about 0.5 to 1.0 grams per cubic centimeter. The resulting tablet is tough, void-free, nonfriable and rapidly soluble in water.
