The UST Platform is based on the use of intense shear forces from ultra-high pressure (greater than 20,000 psi) valve discharge. UST has been shown to turn hydrophobic extracts into stable, water-soluble formulations on a small, laboratory scale. The UST Platform offers the potential to produce stable nanoemulsions of oil-like products in water. Such formulations could potentially have enormous success in many markets, including inks, paints, and cosmetics, as well as in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, such as medically important plant oil extracts, i.e., making CBD-enriched plant oil water soluble. We believe that UST has the potential to play a significant role in a number of commercially important areas, including (i) the creation of stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water), and (ii) the preparation of higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature stable low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies, e.g., dairy products. The UST Platform is currently being developed for commercialization.
