"Prof. McClements shares the same ethos of Vertosa: curious, fun and educational," said Dr. Harold Han, Founder and Chief Science Officer of Vertosa.

He holds 12 patents, has published more than 1,100 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and is the most highly cited researcher in food and agriculture with more than 100,000 citations. Currently, over 70% of the food and beverage emulsion literature published worldwide is linked to his research.

Dr. Han added: "Prof. McClements is a true pioneer in the food emulsion space and his research has influenced a generation of surface chemists, including my own Ph.D. study. Food and beverage emulsions are usually used to add flavors and nutrients; however cannabis emulsions deliver a new category of active ingredients that can alter people's mood and provide healing. We are beyond excited to have Prof. McClements help Vertosa design the next generation of water-compatible cannabis ingredients and set industry standards."
"I'm impressed by Vertosa's commitment to science, precision and delivering consistent products to their customers," said Prof. McClements.
