Semisolid

In this carefully conducted crossover study, 20 normal-weight and 20 obese adults were given 300-kCal loads of a solid (apple), semisolid (apple sauce), or beverage (apple juice) at a meal or 2 hours after a meal as a snack. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Agar-agar can turn most any liquid into something semisolid and, unlike gelatin, will maintain its texture even when heated. ❋ Lisa Abend (2011)

A process that uses algae-based gellifiers and calcium carbonate to turn liquids into semisolid globules, spherification is one of the signature techniques of elBulli. ❋ Lisa Abend (2011)

Mousse cake: In a siphon, Ms. Wong adds a batter made from chocolate, Evian water and egg whites, and freezes the entire mixture until it is chilled and semisolid scoopable, like ice cream. ❋ Amy Ma (2011)

Would a blended fruit smoothie rate with semisolid foods then? ❋ Unknown (2009)

How does this “semisolid molecular condom” get removed? ❋ Unknown (2009)

Whether consumed with a meal or alone as a snack, the beverage elicited the weakest (negative) appetitive response, the solid food form elicited the strongest appetitive response and the semisolid response was intermediate. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The findings are clear: consumption of an energy-yielding beverage either with a meal or as a snack poses a greater risk for promoting positive energy balance than eating the same amount of semisolid or solid calories. ❋ Unknown (2009)

As if on cue, something white and semisolid splatted into the water not 10 feet away. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Also, saturated and trans fats are solid or semisolid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. ❋ KELLY TRAVER (2009)

The camo was just starting to fray when she pushed through the semisolid wall that was the inside edge of the membrane. ❋ Unknown (2007)

On the upper curve of its huge body there were three great projections which I can only describe as enormous bubbles, and I was convinced as I looked at them that they were charged with some extremely light gas which served to buoy up the misshapen and semisolid mass in the rarefied air... ❋ Dark Worlds Club (2009)

Bitumen is a generic term for natural or manufactured black or dark-colored solid, semisolid, or viscous cementitious materials that are composed mainly of high-molecular weight hydrocarbons. ❋ Unknown (2008)
