Abstract: Stable, edible delivery systems for water miscible or water soluble materials, and aqueous food products such as beverages incorporating such delivery systems are provided. The disclosed delivery systems may be used to isolate a substance otherwise having an unacceptable taste in the food product or to protect a sensitive material in the food, e.g., an ingredient prone to degradation. Methods for producing the delivery systems and aqueous dispersions are also disclosed, wherein an acidification agent lowers the pH of the emulsion particles core during and/or after emulsification.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in inflammatory diseases and uses thereof, and methods of screening for, diagnosing, identifying susceptibility to or detecting a risk of developing an inflammatory disease comprising detecting the presence or absence of at least one SNP identified in a gene associated with inflammatory disease.
