Summary

SODIUM ALGINATE, METHYL CELLULOSE AND SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE AT CONCENTRATIONS OF ABOUT 1% DO NOT CHANGE THE HOMOGENEOUS NUCLEATION TEMPERATURE OF WATER OR OF SUCROSE SOLUTIONS BY MORE THAN THE EXPERIMENTAL UNCERTAINTY OF 2 K. STABILIZERS AT A CONCENTRATION OF 0.0067 G/MILLIL SHOWED A VARIETY OF EFFECTS ON HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEATION IN 0.75 G/MILLIL SUCROSE SOLUTION. XANTHAN GUM SHOWED A SLIGHT INHIBITORY EFFECT, METHYL CELLULOSE SHOWED LITTLE EFFECT, SODIUM PECTATE, SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE AND MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE CAUSED SLIGHT INCREASES IN THE INCIDENCE OF HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEATION, AND SODIUM ALGINATE CAUSED A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE.
