Summary
This webpage discusses the science behind mayonnaise's creamy texture, focusing on the role of emulsifiers.
Abstract
The webpage titled "Connection" presents a one-line poem about mayonnaise and delves into the science behind its creamy consistency. It explains that the magic in mayonnaise lies in the emulsifier's hydrophobic-hydrophilic ends, which bring oil and egg yolk together. The emulsifier, in this case, the egg yolk, has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail that work together to prevent the oil from separating. The article also acknowledges Georgia Lewitt for the one-line poetry prompt "phobia," which inspired the author to recall some high school food science.
