underprocessed
Not fully treated
Underprocessed describes something that hasn't been processed enough—not sufficiently treated, refined, or transformed for its intended purpose.
Food that is underprocessed may retain unwanted bacteria or texture: The underprocessed flour caused problems in the final product.
Data or materials can also be underprocessed when they haven't undergone adequate preparation or analysis.
