Description
Cold oil siphoning creates a stable oil foam by forcing chilled oil through a fine orifice under pressure.
Technical
The low temperature (0–5 °C) reduces oil viscosity, allowing air to be entrained. Oil molecules stabilize the foam through surface tension, and optional emulsifiers such as lecithin or xanthan gum reinforce the structure. The process is completed within seconds and requires precise temperature control to prevent coalescence.
Science
Primary Reaction
