Yes. Since it contains a lot of oil, it will require solvents that will work with oil. Alcohol is one. There are a number of others, but there are limits on that number as regards what can be used in cooking. For solutions, fats and oils, glycerides and the like will yield a solution. Since mayo has a lot of oil in it and is immiscible in water and other "non-oily" substances, consider a "plan B" and look at what is called an emulsion instead of a solution (solvent plus solute). Oil and vinegar salad dressing form an emulsion when we shake the bottle, but darn it, they separate again. We need to stabilize the emulsion so it won't separate. Emulsion stabilizers can be added in limited quantity to effect the desired results.

it is semi liquid -- Realistically speaking there is no such thing as a "Semi-liquid." This conglomerate of mayonnaise is to be perceived to be a substance of solidity through the phases of each stage of the mayonnaise as it is being furbished. When the contraction of the egg and the vinegar are assorted organstronically/contortedly the atoms of both the reactants and the products in its chemical composition are reversible. Yes, I am saying if you leave mayonnaise out in a very diluted controversial state/environment it will become part liquid part solid and part gas (the compound would be then 33% of each.) … you're welcome =]. --Dr. Leroy Maio (PhD in culinary experimentation)
