The different ratio of super red dragon fruit powder-lime powder (90:10, 80:20, 70:30) and different type of sweeteners (sucrose, sucralose, fructose) were used. Parameters of physical and chemical chracteristics were observed. In addition sensory evaluation lso ws done to determine the best formula based 70 panelists. The result shows that the best effervescent powder formula was the one with super red dragon fruit powder and lime powder ratio of 70:30 and sucralose sweetener addition. The result shows that the best formula of effervescent has high vitamin C content (41.06 g citric acid/L), but low in antioxidant activity (8782.17 ppm)
