In a bid to improve the delivery of micronutrients as supplements in processed foods US company BioDelivery Sciences International has initiated a collaboration project with a food processor in the United States.

In the past BioDelivery Sciences has focused its development efforts on applications of its technology to pharmaceuticals and vaccines. In a statement this week the company said that it now believes that other, non-prescription, commercial applications of its technology may be possible. BioDelivery Sciences' patented delivery vehicle is a naturally occurring lipid (phosphatidylserine) that can be obtained from soy.
