Can i say that melted butter acts as a binding agent for the biscuit base of cheesecake?

You can't say that melted butter acts as a binding agent for the biscuit base of a cheesecake.

Here's why:

* Binding agents are ingredients that help hold things together. In baking, they usually help to solidify liquids or hold dry ingredients together. Examples of binding agents include eggs, flour, and gelatin.

* Melted butter in a cheesecake base acts as a fat. It contributes to the texture and flavor of the base, but its primary role is to help bind the biscuits together and create a crumbly texture. The biscuits themselves act as the binding agent for the base, holding the cheesecake filling in place.

So, it's more accurate to say that melted butter helps to create a crumbly and buttery texture for the biscuit base, which then acts as the binding agent for the cheesecake filling.
