hydrocolloid
A hydrocolloid is a substance that forms a gel when combined with water. These substances consist of long-chain polymers that can attract and hold water molecules, thereby changing the physical properties of the food or any substance they are mixed with. They are commonly used in food production and medical applications as thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, or gelling agents. Some common examples include gelatin, pectin, agar, and various gums.
