Emulsification creates stable mixtures of oil and water using surface-active agents.
Origin: French (18th century) — France
See full technique reference →By reducing interfacial tension, emulsifiers form a film around oil droplets, preventing coalescence. Droplet size, emulsifier concentration, temperature, and shear dictate kinetic stability, while insufficient emulsifier, excessive heat, or inadequate shear lead to phase separation.
Primary Reaction
Formation of oil-in-water emulsion via interfacial tension reduction.
