  "term": "Salting in",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The phenomenon where the solubility of a sparingly soluble substance in a solvent is increased by the addition of a salt. This effect is often observed with proteins and other macromolecules at low salt concentrations. The increased solubility is attributed to the reduction of the activity coefficient of the solute.",
