solubles
Things that dissolve
Solubles are substances capable of being dissolved, typically in water.
The term appears most often in technical or commercial contexts: water solubles, fat solubles, coffee solubles.
Instant coffee granules are sometimes called solubles because they dissolve completely in hot water.
