PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide tablets of high dietary fiber content, to provide essential oil-containing dietary fiber-containing tablets, and to provide respective methods for producing these tablets. SOLUTION: A method for producing sodium alginate-containing tablets comprising compressing sodium alginate powder is provided. A 2nd version of the method for producing sodium alginate-containing tablets comprising infiltrating the above tablets with essential oil is provided. The sodium alginate-containing tablets produced by these methods are thus provided. By these methods, as sodium alginate can be made into tablets by direct powder compression, the tablets containing sodium alginate alone can be prepared, therefore obtaining the tablets high in dietary fiber content per unit amount. Besides, as compared to other tablet-forming methods, these methods are advantageous in terms of fewer steps and of needing no high temperature. Furthermore, the tablets thus obtained are highly compatible with the essential oil, being suppressed in oil segregation, that is, the essential oil is held stably in the tablets.
