Mayonnaise is an oil-in-water emulsion which can contain up to 80% oil.
Gums and thickeners such as starches are used in low fat products to replace the viscosity and bulking effect of the oil, to enhance mouthfeel, and to ensure that a stable emulsion is formed.
Large scale production is normally carried out using a specifically designed plant. This process is often semi-automated and usually under vacuum. For R&D, pilot scale and small scale production typical of the "ready-to-use" market - sandwich producers, caterers and other low-volume applications - mayonnaise needs to be produced in a manner which allows much more flexibility, especially when changing formulation.
