By utilizing Averrhoa bilimbi together with aloe vera, especially since it is high in vitamin, mineral, fiber, and amino acids in the production of effervescent tablet, it is expected to improve the utilization of both raw materials to be consumed in an easy and convenient way. The preliminary research was conducted to determine the combination of maltodextrin (10%, 20%, 30%) and aloe vera (5%, 10%, 15%) concentrations in producing effervescent powder. Data showed that there are significant effects (p <0.05) on all parameters of the analysis. The combination of the chosen concentration, which is 30% maltodextrin and 15% aloe vera, was used in the main research to make effervescent formulations. The main research was conducted to determine the best formulation for production of Averrhoa bilimbi and aloe vera effervescent.
