INTRODUCTION
Mayonnaise is a widely consumed condiment known for its creamy texture and
tangy flavor profile. It is composed of a mixture of oil, egg yolk, vinegar or lemon juice,
and seasonings, emulsified to create a stable and smooth consistency (Depree & Savage,
2001). The precise composition and processing methods used in the production of
mayonnaise influence its physical properties, which play a vital role in its quality and
consumer acceptance (Schädle et al., 2022).
emulsification by denaturing proteins in the egg yolk, thereby promoting the formation of
a stable emulsion (Li et al., 2023).
Fat as one of the main ingredients of mayonnaise; is in the form of oil droplets;
which the strength of interactions between them is a major determinant of mayonnaise
quality. The globular proteins and phospholipids of egg yolk are known as emulsion
stabilizer or textural modifier and consequently microstructural determinant factor
(Ariizumi et al., 2017). The main role of emulsions texture enhancers such as thickening
agents, stabilizers and emulsifiers is increasing the viscosity of continuous phase.
In this report, we examine the influence of various fat sources, including canola
oil, palm oil, and butter, on the emulsification process and resulting physical properties of
mayonnaise. Canola oil, prized for its neutral flavor and high unsaturated fat content,
contributes fluidity and stability to the emulsion, facilitated by the presence of
unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid (Aluko & McIntosh, 2005). Palm
oil, known for its creamy texture and stability at room temperature, contains
predominantly saturated fats such as palmitic acid, which enhance the solidity and
structure of the oil phase in mayonnaise (Aznury et al., 2022).
However, the higher melting point of palm oil's saturated fats may require
elevated processing temperatures for proper dispersion. In contrast, butter, with its solid
consistency and distinctive flavor profile, offers richness and mouthfeel to mayonnaise,
but its crystalline butterfat structure necessitates careful temperature control and mixing
during emulsification for uniform dispersion within the aqueous phase (Panchal et al.,
2021).
All in all, this laboratory report, we aim to explore the physical properties of
mayonnaise through various experiments and analyses. By examining factors such as
texture, viscosity, and stability, we seek to gain a comprehensive understanding of how
these properties are influenced by composition and processing. Through this study, we
aim to contribute to the body of knowledge surrounding mayonnaise production and
quality control.

Mayonnaise is believed to have its roots traced back to Port Mahon, France, in
1756, purportedly emerging as a commemoration of the successful conquest of Port
Mahon by the forces led by Louis Francois Armand de Vignerot du Plessis, duc de
Richelieu (1696–1788), a distinguished marshal of France. Initially named Maho´nnaise,
denoting its association with the port, the term later evolved into "mayonnaise." This
transformation is thought to have been influenced by linguistic nuances, possibly
stemming from archaic French terminologies referring to egg yolk and the act of stirring,
namely "moyen" and "manier" respectively (Mirzanajafi-Zanjani et al., 2019).
Mayonnaise primarily consists of four key components: oil, egg yolk, vinegar or
lemon juice, and seasonings. Oil serves as the primary phase of the emulsion, with
varieties such as canola oil, palm oil, or butter being commonly utilized. The egg yolk
acts as the emulsifying agent, facilitating the formation and stabilization of the oil-in-
water emulsion. Vinegar or lemon juice provides acidity, which not only enhances flavor
but also plays a crucial role in regulating the emulsification process by interacting with
the egg yolk proteins. Additionally, seasonings such as salt, mustard, or sugar are
incorporated to adjust taste profiles and further stabilize the emulsion. Each ingredient in
mayonnaise plays a distinct role in achieving the desired consistency, texture, and
sensory attributes, thereby highlighting the intricate interplay between composition and
physical properties in this culinary staple (Bhattacharya, 2023).
type of fat source impacts the composition and stability of the emulsion, with variations
in fatty acid profiles affecting the texture and mouthfeel of the final product. Emulsifying
agents play a pivotal role in stabilizing the emulsion by reducing interfacial tension
between oil and water phases, thereby preventing phase separation. Additionally,
processing methods such as mixing intensity, temperature, and order of ingredient
addition can significantly influence the emulsification process and ultimately the physical
properties of mayonnaise. Investigating these factors is essential for optimizing
processing techniques and ensuring the desired quality attributes of mayonnaise
(Håkansson et al., 2016).
Wang et al. (2022) analyzed the use of soybean (Glycine max) oil body (SOB) as
a substitute for egg yolk in low-cholesterol, low-fat mayonnaise. Various substitution
ratios (10%-50%) were examined for their effects on physicochemical properties and
sensory evaluation. Results showed that substituting SOB for 50% of egg yolk
significantly reduced cholesterol and fat content without compromising sensory qualities.
However, excessive substitution ratios (40%-50%) negatively impacted texture and

Procedure
Three kinds of fat were used in making the mayonnaise, mainly, palm oil, canola
oil, and butter. There was a total of four mayonnaise produced and each of these fats were
utilized in the emulsification while the other set-up was made from an equal amount of
palm oil and canola oil mixture.
To prepare mayonnaise, the egg yolk was separated from the white and deposited
into a mixing bowl. Subsequently, a tablespoon of vinegar was introduced into the bowl
and thoroughly mixed with the yolk. This procedure was replicated for each set-up
employed in producing the mayonnaise. For the four distinct oil combinations, ½ cup
measurements of palm oil, canola oil, and butter were taken. Additionally, ¼ cup
measurements of canola oil and palm oil were combined to create the final set-up.
4. Emulsification Process
The emulsification process began by slowly incorporating the oil into the mixture
while continuously mixing with a mixer. The oil was added gradually until it was
completely emulsified with the egg and vinegar mixture, resulting in a creamy and
smooth consistency. This process of emulsification was then repeated with different set-
ups, including palm oil, canola oil, butter, and a mixture of palm oil and canola oil. Once
the mixture was completely emulsified, salt and pepper were added to the mayonnaise.
The mayonnaise was transferred into plastic containers with lids, each properly
labeled with the type of oil used in its preparation. Initially, the empty container was
weighed, totaling 11.5g. Subsequently, the quantities of mayonnaise made from canola
oil, palm oil, butter, and a mixture of palm oil and canola oil were measured, resulting in
88.6g, 136.8g, 145.3g, and 130.9g, respectively.

6. Storage
The mayonnaise made from canola oil exhibited a silky texture, this mayonnaise
is not as smooth as the mayonnaise made from palm oil. Its appearance is generally a pale
yellow with a slightly translucent quality. The texture and appearance of canola oil
mayonnaise are influenced by the neutral flavor and light texture of canola oil.
Additionally, canola oil contains a high proportion of unsaturated fats, particularly
monounsaturated fats like oleic acid. These fats contribute to a softer texture and a less
dense consistency in the mayonnaise compared to oils with higher saturated fat content.
Furthermore, canola oil mayonnaise tends to have a lighter color due to the absence of
pigments like beta-carotene found in oils such as palm oil. Its pale appearance is also

Mayonnaise made from a mixture of canola and palm oil resulted in a balanced
texture and appearance that combines the characteristics of both oils. The texture is
smooth and creamy, with a moderate thickness that falls between the textures of
mayonnaises made solely from canola oil and palm oil. In terms of appearance, the
mayonnaise had a creamy off-white color with a hint of yellow and a subtle translucence,
reflecting the combination of the lighter hue of canola oil and the creamy tint of palm oil.
The texture and appearance of mayonnaise made from a mixture of canola and palm oil
are influenced by the properties of both oils. Canola oil contributes its light texture and
smooth while palm oil adds a slightly thicker consistency and richness. The combination
of these oils resulted in a mayonnaise that strikes a balance between creaminess and
thickness. Overall, mayonnaise made from a mixture of canola and palm oil presents a
harmonious blend of textures and appearance, offering a balanced option with a pleasing
visual appeal and smooth texture.
