The tableting properties for fermented spray dried jackfruit (FJP) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) powders were studied. 25% FJP + 75% MCC, 50% FJP + 50% MCC and 75% FJP + 25% MCC binary powder mixtures were compacted into tablet form at various compaction pressures ranging from 15.1 to 73.8 MPa. The properties were compared to pure FJP and MCC tablets. The addition of MCC resulted in a higher particle size and the increased in the plastic work of the tablet. The best ratio of FJP-MCC binary tablet was found to be at 25% FJP + 75% MCC where the tablet showed the highest tensile strength. In conclusion, the addition of MCC to FJP improved the compaction characteristics and the tablet mechanical strength.
