  2. Ostwald ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_ripening

    In aqueous solution chemistry and precipitates ageing, the term refers to the growth of larger crystals from those of smaller size which have a higher solubility than the larger ones. In the process, many small crystals formed initially (nuclei) slowly disappear, except for a few that grow larger, at the expense of the small crystals (crystal ...

  3. Maturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maturation

    Maturation is the process of becoming mature; the emergence of individual and behavioral characteristics through growth processes over time. Maturation may refer to: Science

  4. Ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripening

    Ripening is a process in fruits that causes them to become more palatable. In general, fruit becomes sweeter, less green, and softer as it ripens. Even though the acidity of fruit increases as it ripens, the higher acidity level does not make the fruit seem tarter. This effect is attributed to the Brix-Acid Ratio. [1]

  5. Cheese ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_ripening

    Cheese ripening, alternatively cheese maturation or affinage, is a process in cheesemaking. It is responsible for the distinct flavour of cheese, and through the modification of " ripening agents ", determines the features that define many different varieties of cheeses, such as taste, texture, and body. [ 2 ]

  6. Chemical process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_process

    There is also significant overlap in these two definition variations. Because of the inexactness of the definition, chemists and other scientists use the term "chemical process" only in a general sense or in the engineering sense. However, in the "process (engineering)" sense, the term "chemical process" is used extensively.

  7. Catagenesis (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catagenesis_(geology)

    This chemical reaction is believed to be a time, temperature and pressure dependent process which creates liquid and/or gaseous hydrocarbon Hc from primary kerogen X and can be summarised using the formula: + where X 0 is the initial kerogen concentration and X(t) is the kerogen concentration at time t.

  8. Mature messenger RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mature_messenger_RNA

    Pre-mRNA has both introns and exons. As a part of the maturation process, RNA splicing removes the non-coding RNA introns leaving behind the exons, which are then spliced and joined together to form the mature mRNA. [3] [8] Splicing is conducted by the spliceosome. The spliceosome is a large ribonucleoprotein which cleaves the RNA at the ...

  9. Crystal growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_growth

    Schematic of a small part of a growing crystal. The crystal is of (blue) cubic particles on a simple cubic lattice. The top layer is incomplete, only ten of the sixteen lattice positions are occupied by particles. A particle in the fluid (shown with red edges) is joining the crystal, growing the crystal by one particle.
