Another example is nonfat milk, which suspends milk-proteins in water. Jellies, ice cream, and even vegetable shortening are types of suspensions, and so are chocolate drinks. Suspensions also serve a vital purpose in the kitchen. They can be used to thicken another ingredient.
Glass is formed by the rapid cooling of molten substances below their glass transition point without time allowed for regular crystal lattices to form (Matbase 2011; Lenntech 2011).
