In this study, the one-step switchable hydrophilic solvent (SHS)-based effervescence tablet microextraction (ETME) was coupled with smartphone digital image colorimetry (SDIC) for the field detection of nickel ion (Ni) for the first time. Both extractant and CO were generated in situ when the novel SHS-based effervescence tablet was placed in the sample solution. The complexant 1-(2-pyridinylazo)-2-naphthaleno (PAN) dissolved from the effervescence tablet to form a stable complex with Ni, and the extractant was uniformly dispersed in the sample solution under the action of CO and fully in contact with Ni-PAN, which enabled efficient extraction of Ni. The color changes of the extraction phase were captured by smartphone, then a quantitative relationship between the concentrations of Ni and color intensity of images captured using a smartphone was established by customized applet WASDIC, which realized quantitative analysis of Ni in different samples. Under optimal conditions, the enhancement factor (EF) of the proposed method was 65.1, the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 1.69 and 5.64 μg L, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to the detection of trace Ni in the environmental samples and natural medicines. And the applicability of the method for use in field analysis was validated.

This study investigates the formulation and optimization of effervescent tablets made from freeze-dried bael () fruit pulp, focusing on selecting appropriate excipients to enhance stability and ensure the effective release of its bioactive compounds for health benefits. The formulations-S (100 % fruit pulp), S (20 % citric acid), S (10 % citric acid and 10 % ascorbic acid), and S (20 % ascorbic acid) combined with equal parts of dried bael pulp, sodium bicarbonate, sugar, polyethylene glycol, and stevia were assessed for their physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, and sensory study. The S demonstrated the fastest dissolution time (189 s), along with the lowest bulk density (0.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of a fresh-breath mild effervescent tablet on halitosis as an alternative to mouthwash.
Materials And Methods: Halitosis is the unpleasant and offensive odour emanating from the oral cavity (bad breath), which is linked to the presence of volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs). A randomised, single-blind, controlled clinical trial was conducted with 102 volunteers who had oral complaints (range 18-60 years).

This review delves into the efficacy of utilizing bubbles to extract analytes into the gas phase, offering a faster and greener alternative to traditional sample preparation methods for mass spectrometry. Generating numerous bubbles in liquids rapidly transfers volatile and surface-active species to the gas phase. Recently, effervescence has found application in chemical laboratories for swiftly extracting volatile organic compounds, facilitating instantaneous analysis.

Effervescent formulation helps in faster and better absorption of drugs, especially those that are rapidly soluble in water. However, these tablets require special packaging in order to prevent them from absorbing moisture, hence increasing cost. We compared an effervescent tablet prepared using an in-house developed method (multi-layer tablet with acid and base part separated by an inert layer) to a European effervescent tablet (Efferalgan®) in a single-center, randomized cross-over study among twelve healthy volunteers.

Simultaneous monitoring of key metabolites like dopamine, ascorbic acid, and uric acid is essential for early disease diagnosis and evaluating treatment. Electrochemical techniques are increasingly used for precise, point-of-care testing (POCT) of these metabolites. Herein, a sample pretreatment method called effervescent solid-phase extraction (ESPE) was proposed for efficient enrichment of trace analytes for electrochemical detection.
