Summary: A delivery system for UV-protective sunscreen agents, antioxidants, skin care agents, cosmetics and the like comprising feruloylated acylglycerols (FAG) and other cinnamate-modified vegetable oils (CMVO) incorporates the agents into starch-based composites. These composites permit the use of a lower level of CMVO for comparable UV protection than if the CMVO were used alone. Patent Status: Patent Application Filed on October 23, 2006. Link at USPTO filed under patent title “Aqueous starch-oil dispersions having improved UV stability and absorbing ability.” Inventors: James A Kenar Cereal Products and Food Science Research 1815 N UNIVERSITY ST PEORIA, IL, 61604-3999 Phone: (309) 681-6360 Fax: (309) 681-6685 Jim.Kenar@ars.usda.gov David L Compton (Dave) New Crops and Processing Technology Research 1815 N UNIVERSITY ST PEORIA, IL, 61604-1604 Phone: (309) 681-6321 Fax: (309) 681-6686 David.Compton@ars.usda.gov Frederick C Felker (same address as first inventor) Phone: (309) 681-6663 Fax: (309) 681-6685 Frederick.Felker@ars.usda.gov
