Number of commercial and possible biomedical uses. Seed treatment and biopesticide, helping plants to
fight off fungal infections. In winemaking it can be used as a fining

self-healing polyurethane paint coating. In medicine, it may be useful
in bandages to reduce bleeding and as an antibacterial agent; it can
also be used to help deliver drugs through the skin.

limiting fat absorption, which would make it useful for dieting, but
there is evidence against this.
