COAGULATION

Coagulation is the changing of a fluid into a, more or less solid substance, or the separation of a substance from a solution, through the substance becoming more or less solid. Thus albumen of egg can be dissolved in cold water, but if the solution be warmed, the albumen undergoes a change, separates out in white flooky masses, and cannot again be redissolved in the water. Coagulation is well exemplified by the 'curdling' of milk and 'clotting' of blood.
