Meaning and Origin:
An emulsion is a stable mixture of two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. The word "emulsion" originates from the Latin term "emulsio," which means "an emulsion" and is derived from the verb "emulgere," meaning "to milk out."
In the context of food, an emulsion is a mixture of two liquids that would not normally mix together, such as oil and vinegar in a salad dressing. In this case, a substance called an emulsifier is added to the mixture to help the immiscible liquids form a stable emulsion.
Emulsions can also occur naturally, such as the mixture of milk and fat in dairy products. The proteins in milk act as an emulsifier, helping to keep the fat suspended in the liquid.
