Best Answer

An emulsion refers to a fine dispersion of minute droplets of one liquid in another in which it is not soluble. Salt breaks up an emulsion by increasing the polarity of the water, making less molecules soluble in it.

What is meat emulsion?

Meat emulsion is a two phase system, with the dispersed phase consisting of either solid or liquid fat particles and the continuous phase being the water containing salts and dissolved, gelled and suspendedproteins. Thus they can be classified as oil-in-water emulsion. Meat emulsion is not a true emulsion since the two phases involved are not liquids and the fat droplets in a commercial emulsion are larger than 50 m in diameter and thus do not conform to one of the requirement of a classical emulsion. The continuous phase mainly consists of water, water soluble proteins and salt soluble proteins. The dispersed phase or discontinuous phase consists of fat droplets.The water soluble proteins are sarcoplasmic proteins such as myoglobin and other pigments, salt soluble proteins are myofibrillar proteins such as myosin, actin, and actinins.
