Tableting

Preparation and Flavor Development Techniques

Tableting is a method of pressing a substance into solid tablets, used both in candy manufacture and in pharmaceutical production, whose techniques share a great deal in common. In confectionery, the process compresses powdered or granulated ingredients into shaped tablets, producing pressed candies such as SweeTarts and Smarties.
