Water-soluble Polymers
Water-soluble polymers are large molecules that can dissolve in water, forming a gel or solution. They are used in various applications, including food products, pharmaceuticals, and personal care items. These polymers enhance texture, act as thickening agents, or help in drug delivery by allowing substances to dissolve more easily. Common examples include gelatin, pectin, and certain types of starches. Their ability to interact with water makes them valuable for improving the properties of many everyday products, offering benefits like moisture retention and improved stability.
