keményítési
Keményítési is a Hungarian term that broadly refers to the process of hardening or setting. The specific meaning depends heavily on the context in which it is used. In culinary applications, keményítési often describes the process by which a liquid thickens, typically due to the addition of a starch. This can occur when making sauces, gravies, or desserts where ingredients like cornstarch, potato starch, or flour are used to achieve a desired consistency. The starch granules absorb liquid and swell when heated, creating a thicker, gel-like substance.
In a more industrial or material science context, keményítési can refer to hardening processes for materials.
