Abstract: The present disclosure provides delivery systems for functional ingredients, such as drugs, nutritional supplements, botanicals, and vitamins. The delivery systems comprise an ingestible matrix within which the functional ingredient(s) are substantially uniformly and completely dispersed. The matrix comprises foams derived by physical shear of egg white to achieve amplified available dose and improved release characteristics of functional ingredients at skin and mucosal surfaces for healthcare purposes. The disclosure also provides methods of preparing and using the delivery systems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to use of a milk apoprotein or a mixture thereof to prevent or treat microbial or viral infection of the human or animal body. It is believed that this is achieved by inhibiting adhesion of potential pathogens. More preferably, at least one milk apoprotein or a mixture thereof is administered, simultaneously or sequentially, with either or both of at least one free fatty acid or a mixture thereof or a monoglyceride thereof; and/or at least one organic acid or a salt or ester thereof or a mixture thereof. The active agent(s) may be delivered by means of a pharmaceutically acceptable delivery system which includes parenteral solutions, ointments, eye drops, nasal sprays, intravaginal devices, surgical dressings, medical foods or drinks, oral healthcare formulations and medicaments for mucosal applications.

Abstract: A marine fuel supply system is disclosed in which a salt water sensor is positioned between a fuel reservoir and a pump used to pump fuel from the reservoir to an internal combustion engine. The water sensor is located near to the bottom of a closed vessel forming part of a water separator so as to sense when salt water separated from the fuel has reached a pre-determined level. A signal is then sent to indicator means in the form of an electric lamp and buzzer to warn an operator of the marine craft of the need to drain off the collected salt water.
