Emulsification in culinary practice varies by ingredient and technique, affecting stability and texture.
Origin: French, Japanese, Indian (Traditional) — Europe, Asia
See full technique reference →Egg yolk proteins denature at 60–65 °C to form stable oil‑in‑water emulsions, while mustard mucilage and soy lecithin act as surfactants reducing interfacial tension. High‑shear mixing and controlled oil‑to‑water ratios further refine droplet size and prevent phase separation.
