The process of crenation occurs when the concentration of solute outside the cell is than inside the cell and the solution is said to be hypertonic.

What is crenation?

In botany and zoology, the term "crenation" refers to the round-toothed or scalloped shape of an object, particularly a leaf or shell. Modern Latin crenatus, meaning "scalloped or notched," is derived from common Latin crena, meaning "notch."

The term  can refer to a variety of items, including cells. One process of crenation is the contraction of a cell upon exposure to a hypertonic solution due to the loss of water through osmosis.Cucumber pickling and salt-curing of beef are practical applications of crenation.

  • In a hypertonic environment, the cell's solute concentration is lower than that of the extracellular fluid around it, and water diffuses out of the cell by osmosis, resulting in a reduction in the volume of the cytoplasm.
  • The result is cell membrane irregular notchings and cell membrane shrinkage.

Hence, the process of crenation occurs when the concentration of solute outside the cell is than inside the cell and the solution is said to be hypertonic.
