Swedish term or phrase: korpning
A solution was dried, evaporated and subjected to 'korpning' to create a meringue-like substance. Does this term exist and what does it mean?

koppling


Explanation:
Could it be a typo? Maybe it should say "koppling"?
In that case, it might possibly be crosslinking....

torkning


Explanation:
I agree with Anna that it seems to be a typo... I think maybe they meant "torkning" (drying) That word fits in with the first part of the text, talking about evaporation.
