  2. Hydrophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophile

    Hydrophilic substances (ex: salts) can seem to attract water out of the air. Sugar is also hydrophilic, and like salt is sometimes used to draw water out of foods. Sugar sprinkled on cut fruit will "draw out the water" through hydrophilia, making the fruit mushy and wet, as in a common strawberry compote recipe.

  3. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    Hygroscopic substances include cellulose fibers (such as cotton and paper), sugar, caramel, honey, glycerol, ethanol, wood, methanol, sulfuric acid, many fertilizer chemicals, many salts and a wide variety of other substances. [5] If a compound dissolves in water, then it is considered to be hydrophilic. [6]

    A person with B blood type will have the B and H antigen present. A person with AB blood type will have A, B, and H antigens present. And finally, a person with O blood type will only have the H antigen present. This means all blood types have the H antigen, which explains why the O blood type is known as the "universal donor". [citation needed]

  5. Sucrose esters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose_esters

    The first one is that in this numerical transposition of the Griffin's scale to sucrose esters, the monoesters content is supposed to correspond the hydrophilic part of the surfactant what is a strong approximation because the monoesters fraction is not purely hydrophilic, since it also contains a high proportion of hydrophobic fatty chains in ...

    A humectant is a substance that is used to keep products moisturized and affects the preservation of items, which can be used in cosmetic products, food and tobacco. A humectant-rich formulation contains simple alcoholic sugar that can increase skin hydration and helps to remove and reduce thickness of skin. [4]

  9. Phospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipid

    The hydrophilic end usually contains a negatively charged phosphate group, and the hydrophobic end usually consists of two "tails" that are long fatty acid residues. [ 4 ] In aqueous solutions, phospholipids are driven by hydrophobic interactions , which result in the fatty acid tails aggregating to minimize interactions with the water molecules.
