A composition for reducing transient flora on skin and improving the condition of the skin includes Ethanol or Isopropanol in an amount that is in a range from at least 60% to about 95% v/v of the composition and a hydrophobe-in-water dispersion. The composition can be prepared by homogenizing and high-pressure high-shearing a mixture of water, humectants, and one or more hydrophobes to form a hydrophobe-in-water dispersion, separately preparing an aqueous medium having the ethanol or isopropanol, and combining hydrophobe-in-water dispersion with the aqueous medium.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for holding a Cannabis product, such as a soda or a beverage, comprising: a container comprising a cavity at least partially enclosed within a base and at least one side extending upwards from the base; an emulsion in the cavity, the emulsion comprising at least: water and tetrahydrocannabinol; and a label on the at least one side, the label comprising a set of at least three graphical serving size indicators correspondingly positioned at at least three differing vertical locations from the base, where a mean particle size of the beverage is preferably less than one thousand nanometers in diameter.

A method for producing a mixture of oil and fluid food product includes placing a funnel into a pressure tank such that a stem of the funnel extends at least halfway down into the pressure tank. The pressure tank is flushed with nitrogen. Oil flows into the pressure tank through the funnel. A flow of nitrogen into the pressure tank is maintained through a side inlet of the pressure tank. Oil is dispensed from a pressure tank into the transfer line flowing a flow of fluid food product from a batch tank. The dispensed oil is dispersed into the flow of fluid food product in a inline shear mixer creating oil-in-fluid food product droplets. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets flow to the batch tank with the flow of fluid food product. The oil-in-fluid food product droplets are distributed in a volume of fluid food product in the batch tank.

A method for preparing stable liquid emulsion forms of plant extract is provided. A plant extract having a bitter flavor is mixed with diluent oil as an oil mixture and heat is applied to the oil mixture. An emulsifying agent is dispersed in water as an emulsifying solution. The oil mixture is mixed with the emulsifying solution. The mixed oil mixture and emulsifying solution is homogenized as a liquid form of the plant extract. Gluconic acid is added to the liquid form of the plant extract. The bitter flavor of the plant extract is disguised by adding a bitter blocker to the liquid form of the plant extract.

Embodiments of the present application relate to batches of bupivacaine multivesicular liposomes (MVLs) prepared by a commercial manufacturing process using independently operating dual tangential flow filtration modules.

A fuel pump for a liquid fuel water injection system of a motor vehicle is provided. The fuel pump includes a low-pressure pump that mixes water from a water tank of the motor vehicle with liquid fuel from a fuel tank of the motor vehicle to a liquid fuel water emulsion and provides the liquid fuel water emulsion at a low pressure. A high-pressure pump is in fluid communication with the low-pressure pump and compresses the liquid fuel water emulsion from the low pressure to a high pressure for injecting the liquid fuel water emulsion into an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle via an injection rail of the motor vehicle. A pump drive drives the low-pressure pump and the high-pressure pump synchronously with a pump frequency independently from an engine speed of the internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle.

The present invention relates to novel applications of hop acids and formulations using hop acids. More specifically, the present invention relates to formulations comprising hop acids to stabilise or emulsify hop oils or other essential oils in aqueous media. We describe an aqueous emulsifiable composition comprising 0.01-5.00 wt % of at least one essential oil and 0.005-10.0 wt % of at least one hop acid, the balance being water. We also describe a method of stabilising or emulsifying an essential oil or mixture of essential oils. The method comprises mixing the essential oil or mixture of essential oils with at least one hop acid to form an essential oil and hop acid mixture and mixing the essential oil and hop acid mixture with water. We further describe the use, as an emulsifier, of a composition comprising at least one hop acid and beverages obtainable with the composition.

Method of analysis. In the method, a microfluidic device defining a flow path extending from an inlet to an outlet may be selected. A sample-containing fluid may be introduced into the flow path via the inlet. Volumes of the sample-containing fluid may be isolated from one another on the flow path. A two-dimensional monolayer of the volumes may be imaged. The two-dimensional monolayer may be formed along the flow path between the inlet and the outlet.

Oil-in-water emulsions containing (i) 100 parts by weight of polyorganosiloxanes bearing aminoalkyl groups, liquid at 20° C., (ii) protonating agent, (iii) 1 to 80 parts by weight of silicate compound, (iv) water, (v) at most 5 parts by weight emulsifier and (vi) at least 5 parts by weight of an organic solvent selected from monoalcohols of the formula IX
