An emulsifier (sometimes called an emulgent or emulsifying agent) is a surfactant that when allows liquids that will normally not mix to combine into a stable solution. For food applications, this is usually used to combine oil and water for products like mayonnaise, chocolate, salad dressings, sauces, ice cream or even margarine.
At ICI Foods, we carry multiple different emulsifiers including lecithin emulsifiers (usually from soybeans) and mono and diglycerides what can be used in many different applications.
