Sol-Gel has developed silica glass based nano-encapsulates for topical (sunscreen) applications. Likely adaptable to other solid or semi-solid actives. Some mention of water dispersibility. Not sure if applicable to foods.

Some services do not allow sharing of reports - while some do. The best approach if uncertain is to post a short synopsis or the title/abstract of the article/report here and include a link to it so authorized users can access it also.
Please include key words/topic areas with the post to enable searching.
Hopefully we can establish a habit of looking here and searching for information first - before we purchase, as well as a habit of sharing interesting and important information in a timely manner that we find ourselves.

Why not launch a Kingsford branded "Natural" or "Eco" firestarter (maybe a gelled or thickened ethanol with natural colorant and some sodium present to produce yellow flame highlights for consumer feedback on ignition).
Claims: natural, renewable resource, no residue, no taste
Also confirm no residual alcohol remaining so that it can be used universally.
As a kid, I learned to light a whole bag of charcoal (regardless of size) by poking holes (about two dozen) somewhat uniformly around the bag as it lies in the grill, (Flipping upsdie down so at least some holes are in bottom), and completing the holes on top and around sides.
Then light four corners of bag on fire - 25 minutes later - all the coals ready to go. Bag consummed.
Works everytime. Beats a starter chimmney which only gets 1/4 to 1/3 of coals ready, then have to kindle the remainder.
Does not require Match Light bag or fluid.
