Abstract: Disclosed is an amino acid/soluble polysaccharide coacervate that provides modified release of amino acid in the digestive system. A method is also disclosed for forming amino acid coacervate compositions to provide increased delivery and release of one of more amino acids, such as leucine, for example, to the intestine of a human and/or animal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making a shelf-stable organic compound in a more water-soluble form, the higher-solubility form being provided in liquid and/or powder. The method utilizes a surfactant solution comprising lecithin, water, and at least one polysaccharide into which at least one limited-solubility organic compound is admixed to form a dispersion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making shelf-stable nitrogenous organic acid (e.g., creatine) ingredients for products such as nutritional bars, liquids, and/or powders.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for crowd-sourced digital media file management. During public events, such as a marathon, many photographs and videos may be taken of the event and the participants in the event. A photographer may upload reduced quality digital media file previews taken of the event by the photographer, and the photographer may upload the associated high quality digital media files to a cloud storage system. The photographer and consumers viewing digital media file previews may tag the digital media file previews with metadata about the digital media file previews, such as the identities of individuals in the digital media file previews. A consumer may search for images containing specific metadata, and may purchase a high quality digital media file associated with the preview file.
