No, mayonnaise is not a leavening agent. Leavening agents, such as baking soda or yeast, are substances that cause dough or batter to rise by producing gas. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and vinegar or lemon juice, primarily used for flavor and texture in dishes, rather than to create lift or volume in baked goods.
