Nigari was the first coagulant used to make tofu in Japan. [5] It is still used today because tofu made using bittern preserves the original flavor of the soybeans used to make it. Bittern causes rapid coagulation which influences the quality of the tofu. Alternatively calcium sulfate, calcium chloride or other substances are also used. [5]
Chloride-type nigari salts or lushui (Traditional: 鹵水, 滷水; Simplified: 卤水; Pinyin: lǔshuǐ) – Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride: Both of these salts are highly soluble in water and affect soy protein in the same way, whereas gypsum is only very slightly soluble in water and acts differently in soy protein precipitation, the ...
Cheese curd prior to pressing Silky tofu (kinugoshi tofu) Milk and soy milk are curdled intentionally to make cheese and tofu by the addition of enzymes (typically rennet), acids (including lemon juice), or various salts (magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, or gypsum); the resulting curds are then pressed.

Magnesium is absorbed orally at about 30% bioavailability from any water soluble salt, such as magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate. The citrate is the least expensive soluble (high bioavailability) oral magnesium salt available in supplements, with 100 mg and 200 mg magnesium typically contained per capsule, tablet or 50 mg/mL in solution.

Magnesium chloride (E511 [19]) is an important coagulant used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk. In Japan it is sold as nigari ( にがり , derived from the Japanese word for "bitter"), a white powder produced from seawater after the sodium chloride has been removed, and the water evaporated.
Side effects from topical and oral minoxidil can differ. When taken orally, minoxidil may cause side effects such as fluid retention, elevated heart rate and increased body hair growth.
Topical gel. The texture of topical gels is less greasy as it contains a higher proportion of water compared with cream and ointment. [3] [1] [2] [8] These gels have an excellent spreading property and cooling effect due to solvent evaporation, and also has a higher retention time on the skin.
Common side effects include low blood pressure, skin flushing, and low blood calcium. [1] Other side effects may include vomiting, muscle weakness, and decreased breathing. [4] While there is evidence that use during pregnancy may harm the baby, the benefits in certain conditions are greater than the risks. [5]
