Before the inexpensive production of gelatin and other competing products, isinglass was used in confectionery and desserts such as fruit jelly and "blancmange". Isinglass finings are widely used as a processing aid in the British brewing industry to accelerate the fining, or clarification, of beer. It is used particularly in the production of cask-conditioned beers, although a few cask ales are available which are not fined using isinglass. The finings flocculate the live yeast in the beer into a
Amount of substance the molar mass. Molar quantities are sometimes denoted by a subscript Latin "m" in the symbol, e.g. "C", molar heat capacity at constant pressure: the subscript may be omitted if there is no risk of ambiguity, as is often the case in pure chemistry. The main derived quantity in which amount of substance enters into the numerator is amount of substance concentration, "c". This name is often abbreviated to "amount concentration", except in clinical chemistry where "substance concentration" is the preferred term to avoid ambiguity with mass concentration. The term "molar concentration" is incorrect, but commonly used. The alchemists, and
