gelatinizer
Makes liquids solidify
A gelatinizer is a substance or agent that causes gelatinization—the process of converting something into a gel or jelly-like consistency.
In cooking and food science, starches act as gelatinizers when heated in liquid, thickening sauces and puddings.
Industrial gelatinizers modify textures in products from cosmetics to explosives.
