What makes Mayonnaise white?

Question

what is in Mayonnaise?

Answer 1

Mayonaise made from egg white.

Salad Cream from Yoke (yellow)

Answer 2

Mayonnaise is mainly egg yolk and oil with a bit of lemon juice. The reason it is white is that the lemon juice and oil mix together (emulsify) with the result that a small amount of lemon juice completely covers each molecule of oil. The egg yolk acts as a stabilizer, keeping the ingredients stuck together.  

Answer 3

eggs, oil, and air. Gross when you think about it! But yummy on a sandwich!

Answer 4

Fat is usually white. So I'm gonna guess fat. But what about fat-free mayo? Hmm..

Answer 5

emulsification.... the egg yolk does this and in turn makes the mayo white...
