The stability test of sandfish tablets and capsules which stored at 30 °C and 50 °C was not different between the formulations, pH of the product was 6,47 to 6.97. The aw value of sandfish tablets and capsules ranged from 0.61 – 0.74. During the storage period in 30 days the number of bacteria was from 4.2 log cfu/g to 6.78 log cfu/g and number of fungi was from 4.51 log cfu/g to 6.6 log cfu/g
