coagulated

Turned to clumps

Coagulated describes something that has changed from liquid to a thickened or solid mass.

Blood coagulates when it clots; milk coagulates when it curdles.

The word applies to any substance that has undergone this transformation: coagulated blood at the wound site, coagulated egg whites.

The process involves particles clumping together, whether through heat, chemical reaction, or time.
