{f} blend dissimilar elements; make similar, unify; equally distribute fat droplets throughout an emulsion (i.e. milk); become homogeneous
To break up particles into small, uniform-sized pieces Fat in whole milk may be homogenized
Most commonly with milk, to break down fat particles so finely that they remain uniformly dispersed
To create an emulsion by reducing all the particles to the same size The fat globules are broken down mechanically until they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid Homogenized milk and some commercial salad dressing are two examples of homogenized foods
ho·mog·enize homogenizes homogenizing homogenized in BRIT, also use homogenise disapproval If something is homogenized, it is changed so that all its parts are similar or the same, especially in a way that is undesirable.

become homogeneous or similar, as by mixing; "The two liquids homogenized in the blender"
To create an emulsion by reducing all the particles to the same size In milk and salad dressings, for instance, all the fat globules are mechanically broken down until they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid
{i} blending of dissimilar elements; process of making similar, unification; process by which fat droplets are equally distributed throughout an emulsion such as in milk (also homogenisation)
ho·mog·enized in BRIT, also use homogenised Homogenized milk is milk where the fat has been broken up so that it is evenly distributed. homogenised homogenized milk has had the cream on top mixed with the milk
{s} made homogeneous; formed by blending dissimilar elements; (about milik) has been processed so that the cream is mixed into the other elements of the liquid (also homogenised)
