Tiny Particles with Huge Possibility
Serendipitous Discovery
Discovered at the University of
Guelph in the lab of Professor
John Dutcher
• In 2008 Dr. Anton Korenevski
discovered that the true native
form of glycogen in sweet corn
is a monodisperse
nanomaterial

“For decades, scientists have
been trying to make safe, cost-effective
nanomaterials. But nature had already
solved that problem, and the answer
was sitting on our dinner plates!
Inside the kernels of sweet corn is a
safe, non-toxic, edible, monodisperse
nanomaterial. The possibilities are
endless.”
