Abstract
A rapidly-dissolving, sugar-free beverage tablet is made by formulating a mix containing from 20% to 70% mannitol, from 1% to 20% water-soluble CO.sub.2 -generator, intensive sweetener and food acid. The mix is compressed in an externally-lubricated tabletting press to produce a friable tablet which is then surface glazed to produce a structurally stable tablet.
