Abstract: Objective: To explore the preparation process and optimal formula of effervescent tablets with perilla extract. Methods: By mixing raw materials, preparing granules, drying, and compression, perilla solid beverage (effervescent tablets) was prepared. The formula was optimized by orthogonal tests by acid-base separated aqueous granulation. Results: The optimal formula of perilla effervescent tablet was composed of 10% penilla extract, 3% stevioside, 10% HPMC, 3% PEG 8000, and NaHCO3-citric acid ratio of 1:2. In order to improve the taste, the proportion of xylitol, lactose, erythritol, and 0.6% perilla flavouring essence were also added. Conclusion: The method for the preparation of effervescent tablets with perilla extract is simple and easy to operate. After dissolution in water, the effervescent tablets reveal a violet color, a special aroma of perilla and a pleasant sweet taste. The perilla solid beverage (effervescent tablets) is nutritious and popular.
