Description
A carbohydrate based adhesive that is typically made from hydrolyzed starch. Any starch (corn, wheat, tapioca, etc.) is boiled and treated with an alkali to produce a clear, viscous liquid. Vegetable glue is a liquid at room temperature and does not need to be heated. Because it remains soluble in water, even after drying, vegetable glue is used for wallpaper paste.
See also dextrin.
Synonyms and Related Terms
mucilage; cola vegetal (Esp.); colle végétale (Fr.); vegetable paste
Other Properties
