Oils do not dissolve in water but oils and water can be used to produce emulsions. These have special properties.
Emulsions made from vegetable oils are used in many foods.
Emulsifiers stop oil and water from separating into layers.
Emulsifiers have molecules in which one part is hydrophobic (water hating tail) and one part is hydrophillic (water loving head).
