Description
Mousse emulsification is the technique of incorporating air into a fat‑rich base using protein stabilizers to create a light, airy dessert.
Technical
During whipping, egg white proteins unfold and form a network that traps air, while fat droplets are dispersed as a stable emulsion. The temperature must be kept low (20–25 °C) to prevent protein denaturation and fat coalescence, and setting at 4–8 °C allows gelatin or starches to cross‑link and lock the volume.
