Answer:

An emulsifier is a substance that stabilizes an emulsion. It is also called emulgent. Surfactants such as detergents are one type of emulsifier. Surfactants are also referred to as surface-active agents.

Some examples of emulsifiers are lecithin, soy lecithin, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglyceride, Mustard, sodium stearoyl lactylate, and sodium phosphates.

Explanation:

ome mechanisms involved in emulsification are discussed below.

According to surface tension theory, emulsification is carried out by reducing the interfacial tension between the two phases.

According to the repulsion theory, a film is created over one phase by the emulsifying agent. The film forms globules, that repel each other. This is their cause for suspension in the dispersion medium.

Viscosity modification – Some emulgents like acacia, glycerine, and carboxymethyl cellulose, increase the viscosity of the medium. This helps in maintaining and creating the suspension of globules of the dispersed phase.
