Methods for reducing at least one of the bioavailability and absorption of at least one of ingested fat, carbohydrates, and unwanted substances from foodstuff in a subject are disclosed. The methods described herein include administering an amount of a nanobiopolymer, or combinations of nanobiopolymers, sufficient to reduce at least one of the bioavailability and absorption of ingested fat, carbohydrates, and unwanted substances to a subject, such as a human subject.

Methods for reducing bioavailability and absorption of ingested substances

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to, among other things, systems for generating engineered water nanostructures (EWNS) comprising reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methods for inactivating at least one of viruses, bacteria, bacterial spores, and fungi in or on a wound of a subject in need thereof or on produce by applying EWNS to the wound or to the produce.

Engineered water nanostructures (EWNS) and uses thereof

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to, among other things, a nano carrier platform for generating enhanced engineered water nanostructures (iEWNS) encapsulating and delivering reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, in some instances, other active ingredients, methods for inactivating at least one of viruses, bacteria, bacterial spores, and fungi on a substrate by applying iEWNS to the substrate.

Nanocarriers for the delivery of active ingredients

The invention includes a method of determining the effective density of nanomaterial agglomerates in liquids, such as but not limited to physiological fluids, using volumetric centrifugation. The method of the invention allows for the development of reliable and efficient in vitro dosimetry and methods for toxicological testing of engineered nanomaterials.
