isomerized
Atoms repositioned internally
Isomerized describes a substance that has undergone isomerization—a chemical rearrangement where molecules change their structure without changing their composition.
The atoms stay the same, but their arrangement shifts: isomerized hop extract, isomerized sugar.
Common in food science and organic chemistry, where structural variations affect flavor, stability, or function.
