  2. Hydrogel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogel

    Gelatin, here in sheets for cooking, is a hydrogel. Peptide hydrogel formation shown by the inverted vial method. A hydrogel is a biphasic material, a mixture of porous and permeable solids and at least 10% of water or other interstitial fluid.

  3. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    The molecules in a drop of food coloring added to water will eventually disperse throughout the entire medium, where the effects of molecular diffusion are more evident. However, stirring the mixture with a spoon will create turbulent flows in the water that accelerate the process of dispersion through convection-dominated dispersion.

  4. Collodion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collodion

    While in Paris, René Dagron became familiar with the collodion wet plate and collodion-albumen dry plate processes which he would later adapt to his microfilm and Stanhope production techniques. Collodion was used by Alfred Nobel in his development of blasting gelatin , a more powerful, flexible, and water resistant variation of his already ...

  5. Gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

    Gelatin is present in gelatin desserts, most gummy candy and marshmallows, ice creams, dips, and yogurts. [1] Gelatin for cooking comes as powder, granules, and sheets. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others must soak in water beforehand.

  6. Starch gelatinization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_gelatinization

    Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down of intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water. This irreversibly dissolves the starch granule in water. Water acts as a plasticizer.

  7. Dry basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_basis

    Dry basis is an expression of a calculation in chemistry, chemical engineering and related subjects, in which the presence of water (H 2 O) (and/or other solvents) is neglected for the purposes of the calculation. [1] Water (and/or other solvents) is neglected because addition and removal of water (and/or other solvents) are common processing ...

  8. Thickening agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thickening_agent

    Potato starch slurry Roux. A thickening agent or thickener is a substance which can increase the viscosity of a liquid without substantially changing its other properties. Edible thickeners are commonly used to thicken sauces, soups, and puddings without altering their taste; thickeners are also used in paints, inks, explosives, and cosmetics.

  9. Richard Leach Maddox - Wikipedia

    Eventually Charles Harper Bennett made the first gelatin dry plates for sale; before long the emulsion could be coated on celluloid roll film. Dry plates had been tried before: and had no effect. silver nitrate with a binder of albumen - derived from egg white, and widely used in printing-out paper in the nineteenth century - had been coated on ...
