Why might food companies need to control the amount of emulsifier in their food?

Emulsifiers are very common in processed foods. Emulsifiers help mix oil and water (called an emulsion) and keep them from separating. An example is mayonnaise, with is oil dissolved into a water mixture. Examples of emulsifiers include lecithin, egg yolk, protein, spices, mono and diglycerides, polysorbate 80, sorbitan esters, etc. If the amount of emulsifier is too small, the emulsion will break, and the oil will separate from the water. If the amount of emulsifier is too great, there will be a problem with too much foaming.
