Abstract: The present invention describes new compositions of matter comprising (1) roasted coffee beans in either whole bean form or in ground form to which a formulation containing resveratrol and glycerin and/or specified additional additives have been added, (2) liquid beverages extracted at a pressure of less than 2000 bar from said roasted coffee beans or grounds to which a formulation containing resveratrol and glycerin and/or specified additional additives have been added; and (3) so-called “instant coffee” or “soluble coffee” prepared from roasted coffee beans to which a formulation containing resveratrol and glycerin and/or specified additional additives have been added, but in which a pulverized coffee component is specifically excluded. The formulation including glycerin leads to increased solubility and bioavailability of resveratrol.

Abstract: The present invention provides a functionalized nanosubstrate or “nanotemplate” that is useful for selectively assembling nanoelements across a large area. The nanotemplate is capable of guiding the massive parallel assembly of nanoelements to fabricate a three-dimensional nanostructure. Nanoelements can also be transferred at a high-rate from the template to a recipient substrate. Examples of these nanoelements include, but are not limited to, carbon nanotubes, nanocrystals, dendrimers, nanoparticles, nanowires, biological materials, proteins, molecules and organic nanotubes. The invention also provides a nanotemplate combined with selectively assembled nanoelements. The invention encompasses methods for functionalizing a nanosubstrate. These methods involve providing a substrate having a known topology and polymerizing a monomer on its surface. Methods for selecting nanoelements and guiding their self-assembly are also disclosed.
