What is the emulsifying agent in a mayonnaise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An emulsifier is an ingredient that causes to other ingredients to mix together when they wouldn't normally. A common example is mustard when used in a vinegarette. It causes the oil and vinegar to emulsify which means they stay combined and don't separate after mixing. Emulsifiers aren't perfect and sometimes the mixture separates after sitting for some time. But it definitely postpones the separation. Egg yolks are a common emulsification agent in foods like mayonnaise.

Some people say to leave it in overnight...some say for a couple of hours. The idea is to smother the lice. Now I cant really see them surviving more than a couple hours. The oil in the mayo will help to comb out the nit(eggs). Be sure to repeat this process every 5-6 days in case you miss a couple of the eggs. Hope this helps.

How long after the use by date is safe to eat mayonnaise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think the best answer is "it depends." Has the jar been opened? Has it been refrigerated? If so, at what temperature? In circumstances of testing the "goodness" of a food - you should trust your senses. How does it smell, look, taste, etc. If it appears to be normal it is probably still good.

Having said that, I do ask - why not just buy a new jar?
