The water leaking from starch gel is called syneresis. It occurs when the gel contracts and releases water, causing separation of liquid from the gel structure.
Starch paste is nothing more or less than wheat flour soaked in water until the starch drips out. And starch gel is basically the same thing but less water is added so the starch will be thicker.
Starch gel is a semi-solid gelatinous substance formed when starch molecules absorb water and swell. It is commonly used as a thickening agent in food products such as sauces, soups, and puddings. Starch gel can also be found in various industrial applications, such as in the production of paper and textiles.
Starch forms a gel in water due to the interaction between starch molecules and water molecules. When starch is heated in water, the granules swell and absorb water, causing them to burst and release amylose and amylopectin molecules. These molecules form a network that traps water, leading to the formation of a gel.
a clear gel that fills the inside of the eye
Absorption of water: dry starch granules absorb water and swell. Disintegration of granules: starch granules break apart, releasing amylose and amylopectin. Hydration of amylose and amylopectin: water molecules bind to the exposed starch molecules. Gel formation: molecular entanglements between starch molecules form a gel network. Amylose leaching: some amylose molecules migrate out of the starch granules and contribute to gel formation. Retrogradation: re-arrangement of starch molecules leads to the formation of a firmer gel upon cooling.
To mix a clear gel to become a colored gel, you can add cosmetic pigments or dyes to the clear gel and mix thoroughly until the desired color is achieved. Start by adding a small amount of pigment or dye to the clear gel and gradually increase until you reach the desired color intensity. Make sure to mix well to ensure even distribution of color throughout the gel.
there is not a substitute for that just similar product from the same family in different forms like gel for example in Romania u can find lioton gel. but with good results use urgodermil with arnica
yes it is perfectly normal but just in case throw it away
its starch ,agarose and polyacrylamide by mkhaliphi dlamini
