mucilage

And when I desired honey I only desired bait, and sweet mucus and mucilage, for which even the mouths of growling bears, and strange, sulky, evil birds, water:

But the air was sticky like mucilage, and the weight of it seemed to burden the lungs and make breathing difficult.

Those childhood favourites mustard and cress are not, however, suitable for sprouting in containers because their seed coats produce slimy mucilage.

The loss, of course, represents but a mere drop in the ocean to Abramovich, a man who constantly looks as though he's mistakenly just swallowed his own nasal mucilage.

The existence of genetic diversity regarding mucilage content and properties is necessary to improve this trait by breeding.

It contains an extract of marshmallow called mucilage which loosens and helps eliminate phlegm.

To explore potential water-purifying applications, the scientists investigated the cactus' mucilage, the thick, gooey substance that enables the plant to store large amounts of water.

He describes microbial diversity and freshwater ecosystems, including the food web in lentic and lotic systems; freshwater environments such as lakes, wetlands, streams, rivers, and estuaries and adverse and extreme environments within them; algae, including its taxonomy, molecular characterization, size, shape, surface mucilage, activities, and strategies for survival.
