Cellulose Gel; A Food Additive Used As A Thickening Agent & Food Stabilizer To Prolong Shelf Life

Image
Cellulose Gel Cellulose Gel , also known as cellulose gum, is the plant based stabilizing agent used in many foods, supplements, and pharmaceuticals. It is simply a refined version of Insoluble fiber found in everyday fruits and vegetables. Cellulose gel is an ingredient used in vitamins, supplements, and other products. It acts as an anti-caking agent, texturizer, emulsifier, extender, and bulking agent. In its most common form, it is found in tablets. Although it is commonly confused with microcrystalline cellulose, the two ingredients are quite different. Cellulose Gel is insoluble in water and most organic solvents. This makes it a versatile additive in a number of applications, including pharmaceuticals. It also adds texture and reduces calorie content in food products. Furthermore, cellulose gel thickens food products, preventing water from separating from other ingredients. It is widely used in dairy and/or bakery products. These foods are known to contain low calories and prom...

Barite, Also Called Barytes or Heavy Spar, the Most Abundant Barium Mineral in The Earth's Crust

Image
Barite Barite is a mineral made from barium sulfate and is usually white. It is a main source of barium. It is one of several minerals in the barite group, which also includes celestine, anglesite, and anhydrite. These minerals all form a solid solution of barium and sulfate (SO4). It is commonly found in hot springs, and the finest crystals can grow up to three feet in length. Some of the largest crystals have been found in Cumbria, Derbyshire, and Cornwall. The mineral can also be found in Oklahoma and Colorado. It can also occur in various shades of blue. It is most commonly found in the form of large tabular crystals and rosette-like aggregates. Barite is a common mineral and is used for many industrial applications. It is often used in the production of paper and rubber products. It is also used in drilling fluids as a weighting agent. Its high specific gravity also helps to prevent blowouts in oil wells. Barium compounds are also used as additives and fillers in industrial prod...

EMI Shielding Materials Include Associated Composites, Conductive Polymers, Cement (Or Concrete), Ceramics, Carbons, and Metals

EMI Shielding Materials EMI Shielding Materials are necessary for electronic elements that emit unwanted signals. Every electronic device in our technologically dependent world requires shielding. In APAC regions such as India, the increasing prevalence of electronic companies has increased the usage of EMI shielding materials. For instance, according to CircuitsToday Electronic Solutions, there are 20 major electronics companies in India. EMI Shielding Materials are the best way to protect electronics from unauthorized interference. This type of shielding works by sealing the enclosure of the electrical device. The amount of EMI shielding will depend on the material used, the size of the shielded volume, and the shape of the shielding apertures. Copper is the most common material used for EMI shielding. Copper alloy 770 is a highly corrosion-resistant material that resists EMI. It also works well as an EMI shield in the kHz and GHz frequency ranges. EMI is caused by various sources....
