Most foods exists as emulsions( sauces, milk,ice cream,butter etc). An emulsion consists of two immiscible phases. The emulsifier is a food additive that is added to produce a stable emulsion. The emulsifiers are amphiphilic molecules(i.e., molecules having both polar and non polar groups) and hence bring together the two immiscible substances.
