Marine organism infused effervescent tablet for producing enhanced suspensions

Abstract

An effervescent tablet including a marine-derived biosurfactant and zinc oxide particles and a method of manufacturing the effervescent tablet are provided. The method includes providing a biosurfactant derived from nudibranch mucus, providing a ZnO powder, mixing the biosurfactant and the ZnO powder under a first set of controlled conditions to form a first mixture, adding malic acid and potassium carbonate to the first mixture to obtain a second mixture, mixing the second mixture under a second set of controlled conditions, and then consolidating the second mixture into a tablet form using a hydraulic tablet press. The effervescent tablets may be added to deionized water to start a chemical reaction resulting in the formation of improved suspensions.
