Oil and water do not mix and separate from each other, forming two layers. If we shake, stir, beat the liquids together tiny droplets form that can be slow to separate. This is called EMULSION.
· Emulsions are opaque and thicker than oil and water they are made from, improves the texture, appearance and their ability to coat and stick solids.
o Milk, cream, salad dressings, ice cream, water based paints and many cosmetic creams are examples of emulsions.
Emulsifiers are substances that help stop the water and oil separating into layers. Most emulsions have emulsifiers to keep them stable.
