noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 Filtration through a semipermeable membrane that only allows small molecules through. countable, uncountable
"Aquafaba was recovered from 10 commercial canned chickpea products and correlations among aquafaba composition, density, viscosity and foaming properties were investigated. Proton NMR was used to characterize aquafaba composition before and after ultrafiltration through membranes with different molecular weight cut offs (MWCOs of 3, 10, or 50 kDa)."
