Stabilising Properties
Stabilisation allow consistency, avoiding or reducing the seperation of the whole system. Therefore, prolonging the shelf life of the homogenous condition.
Stabilisation can occurs from 2 possibilities:
- The viscosity generated from the thickening effects will provide suspension. However, if the density of the suspended particle is heavier, the gravity will causes sedimentation.
- A weak gel or a semi gel properties, that can holds the particles in suspension. However, the gellation can breaks easily if the shear forces is higher than the gellation strength.
A common character of this property is the Xanthan gum.
