Question

What is the role of emulsifier in forming emulsion?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The emulsifier positions itself at the oil/water or air/water interface and, by reducing the surface tension, has a stabilising effect on the emulsion. ... In addition to their ability to form an emulsion, emulsifiers have the ability to interact with other food ingredients.

Answer 2

The role of emulsifier in forming emulsion is as follows -

• The emulsion is a mixture of multiple liquids which cannot be mixed with each other in the normal conditions.

• The emulsifier work as the binding agent for those liquids and the stable emulsion mixture is created.

• So, basically the emulsifier prevents the seperation of the constituent liquids of the emulsion and without these emulsifiers ,the formation of the emulsion will be impossible.
