mixed and stir homogenized
English

Science (general)
essential oils
Oils were diluted in 99% ethanol and then were mixed and stir homogenized in appropriate fungus growth medium to achieve final concentrations of 0,06, 0,12, 0,25 and 0,5‰.
This is a proofreading assignment with no original text, althought I know it had been written by a Spanish person.
Is mixed and stir homogenized right? Should it be stirred?
thanks

mixed and then homogenized by stirring
The way I see it, two processes were involved:
1. mixing -> you can mix oil and fungus growth medium, and yet they are not homogenized, but mixed only; a "quick and dirty" procedure where the concentrations of both substances are different in different regions (or samples) of the whole mix;
2. homogenizing -> this is done by stirring, a procedure achieved with the use of a magnetic stirrer or other similar device; homogenizing often takes a long time, and the concentrations of any samples taken after the procedure should be virtually the same.
My two cents...

Comment: "Thanks everyone, I've gone for the more explanatory translation in the end, just because the actual expression 'stir-homogenised´doesn't seem too common, but thanks to everyone

gemischt und homogen verührt
"stir homogenized" probably just means homogenised by stirring as opposed to homogenized by mixing (homogen mischen)

: mixed and stir homegenised. mixing was not emough so homegenization needed. warming or heating, outting under pressure, mixing are some methods for homegenise,

Your comment bears no relevance to mine. If you read (and understand) my comment below, you'll see I'm pointing out the difference between homogenisation by e.g. stirring, mixing, sieving, shaking... /BTW, "stir homogenise" with or w/o hyphen is NOT okay

stir-homogenised
would be how I would correct it - I'd understand that the ingredients were first mixed, i.e. one was added to the other, then they were "stir-homogenised", which is a sort of scientific shorthand for "homogenised by stirring". Of course, the "z" now gives way to an "s" because that's the BE style of spelling.

If you keep the original word order, you must add the hyphen; otherwise reword it \"mixed and then homogenised by stirring\".

: No correction needed. You may use hyphen. I assume the stirrning is done via using a magnet in the bottle and rotor of the equipment is iron therefore while it turns the magnet in the bottle also turns with the same speed of the motor.

then were homogenized ..
Definitions of Homogenize on the Web:
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.

: here it seems they are distinguishing between to homogenize by e.g. mixing/stirring/shaking/sieving...//Your (correct) added definition of homogenize is general, and not detailed enough for a chemical context such as this.//Other ways? 4 already listed

what are other ways of homogenizing

: I'd go with a simple "then were homogenized" too; seems to me the translater did a bit of literal translation here

: "mixed" is necessary. water and, NaCl (salt) solution can be mixed and no homegenization needed within seconds you would have the new homegen solution. Here two oil mixed and could not be dispersed by itself so homogenised. if you R In lab it makes sense

you do not make sense..original comment was missing 'not' - now makes more sense
