Clarifying agent, the Glossary
Clarifying agents are used to remove suspended solids from liquids by inducing flocculation, causing the solids to form larger aggregates that can be easily removed after they either float to the surface or sink to the bottom of the containment vessel.[1]

Clarification and stabilization of wine
In winemaking, clarification and stabilization are the processes by which insoluble matter suspended in the wine is removed before bottling.
See Clarifying agent and Clarification and stabilization of wine
Coagulation
Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot.
See Clarifying agent and Coagulation
Colloid
A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance.
See Clarifying agent and Colloid
Drinking water
Drinking water or potable water is water that is safe for ingestion, either when drunk directly in liquid form or consumed indirectly through food preparation.
See Clarifying agent and Drinking water
Finings
Finings are substances that are usually added at or near the completion of the processing of making wine, beer, and various nonalcoholic juice beverages.
See Clarifying agent and Finings
Flocculation
In colloidal chemistry, flocculation is a process by which colloidal particles come out of suspension to sediment in the form of floc or flake, either spontaneously or due to the addition of a clarifying agent. Clarifying agent and flocculation are water treatment.
