What is Emulsifier

An emulsifier is generally known as a substance that stably emulsifies liquids that are not blended with each other, such as oil and water. However, a food emulsifier has a number of functions that include not only emulsification but also dispersion, infiltration, foaming, defoaming, mold-release, bacterio-statics, and mutual actions between starch and protein. Food is a complicated mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, oils and fats, water, and air. Food emulsifiers are used to help these properties in a variety of mutual actions that improve the quality of food.
