fractionated

Separated into portions

Fractionated means separated into component parts or fractions.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: fractionated coconut oil has had certain fatty acids removed, fractionated plasma contains isolated blood components, and fractionated radiation therapy delivers doses in smaller portions over time rather than all at once.

The underlying idea is deliberate division for a specific purpose.
