Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Tamarind and pineapple fruit powders dissolution properties are important as it depends on time taken for it to dissolve. Both powders produced from spray drying with addition of 10% w/v of maltodextrin. The tamarind and pineapple fruit powders were then compressed into tablets with applied force of 28.65 MPa. A dissolution tester was used for in-vitro dissolution studies. These findings indicate the moisture content, bulk density, tapped density and water activity showed a significant difference at P < 0.05. Thus, it is important to compress fruit powder into tablet form as it easy to dissolve and provide healthy beverages to meet consumer's demand.
