undersaturated
Below full capacity
Undersaturated describes a solution that contains less dissolved substance than it could hold at a given temperature—it has capacity to dissolve more.
The term extends to other systems below their saturation point: an undersaturated market hasn't reached full demand, undersaturated rock can absorb additional fluid.
The brine was undersaturated, so more salt dissolved easily.
