Homogenization (from "homogeneous;" Greek, homogenes: homos, same + genos, kind) [5] is the process of converting two immiscible liquids (i.e. liquids that are not soluble, in all proportions, one in another) into an emulsion [6] (Mixture of two or more liquids that are generally immiscible).
Homogenization, in cell biology or molecular biology, is a process whereby different fractions of a biological sample become equal in composition.
A homogenizer is a piece of laboratory or industrial equipment used for the homogenization of various types of material, such as tissue, plant, food, soil, and many others. Many different models have been developed using various physical technologies for disruption.
Biotic homogenization is the process by which two or more spatially distributed ecological communities become increasingly similar over time. This process may be genetic, taxonomic, or functional, and it leads to a loss of beta (β) diversity. [1]
Cultural homogenization is an aspect of cultural globalization, [1] [2] listed as one of its main characteristics, [3] and refers to the reduction in cultural diversity [4] through the popularization and diffusion of a wide array of cultural symbols—not only physical objects but customs, ideas and values.

Homogenization can be used at coal mines in order to get a better overall quality product from a stockpile. It can thus form an integral part of the quality management system in coal mines. [ 5 ] When processing coal by more than one supplier like power stations and heat plants, coal homogenization can serve well as a strategy of processing the ...
Mechanisms for homogenization include grinding, mincing, chopping, pressure changes, osmotic shock, freeze-thawing, and ultrasound. The samples are then kept cold to prevent enzymatic damage. It is the formation of homogenous mass of cells (cell homogenate or cell suspension). It involves grinding of cells in a suitable medium in the presence ...
In mathematics and physics, homogenization is a method of studying partial differential equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients, [1] [2] [3] such as
