A hydrocolloid has colloid particles spread throughout water, and depending on the quantity of water available that can take place in different states, it is classified as a gel or sol (liquid). Hydrocolloids can be classified as either irreversible or reversible depending on the nature of their transformation when in contact with solvents.
