What does AMIDIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistryarchaic
The soluble part of starch, which dissolves in water when starch is heated.
Amidin is an old chemists' name from the days when starch was called amidon, the French term for it. Early investigators noticed that a portion of starch would pass into solution while the rest stayed as grains, and they labelled the dissolved part amidin. Later chemistry replaced the word with the names of particular starch components, so amidin survives chiefly in historical dictionaries.
