The effervescent granule tests carried out were organoleptic, particle size distribution, flow rate, angle of repose, Hausner's ratio, compressibility index, dispersion time test, foam height, moisture content, pH and hedonic test. The evaluation results obtained were that F1 and F2 did not have significant differences in the values of moisture content, Hausner's ratio and compressibility index. F1 and F2 had significant differences in the values of flow rate, pH and dispersibility time. F1 had the hedonic test results ( color, aroma and taste) which were more preferable. F1 had dispersibility time and foam height values which did not meet the requirements while F2 meets the requirements.
