homogenised

Blended until consistent

Homogenised is the British spelling of homogenized.

Milk is homogenised by forcing it through fine openings to break up fat globules, preventing cream from rising to the top.

More broadly, to homogenise is to make uniform: Critics argue that globalisation has homogenised local cultures.

The word often carries negative connotations of eliminating diversity or distinctiveness.
