Leavening agent. A leaven /ËlÉvÉn/, often called a leavening agent /ËlÉvÉnÉªÅ/ (and also known as a raising agent), is any one of a number of substances used in doughs and batters that cause a foaming action (gas bubbles) that lightens and softens. An alternative or supplement to leavening agents is a mechanical action by which air is incorporated.
Symptoms of Dislocated Rib. Depending on which rib has been dislocated, the discomfort or pain may be felt in your back or chest. After some time, the skin over the dislocated ribs may swell and bruise. The moment the injury happens, a popping sound can be heard and a lump may surface over the rib.
Ribs generaly are unfirm in appearnce and structure. A rib that sticks out more than others, could indicate a fracture. If no pain is present, a left rib that sticks out could indicate a rib that healed improperly. Get it checked right away, as a broken rib can penetrate a lung or the spleen.
