Stabilizer compounds for traditional mayonnaise

Egg yolk is usually used as an emulsifier. In order to achieve a stable, creamy mayonnaise with a long shelf-life, we recommend adding blends of stabilizers containing, for example, guar and xanthan gum (Palsgaard^® 5308 and Palsgaard^® 5232).

Palsgaard's range of stabilizer compounds help you create a traditional mayonnaise with:

• High stability
• Nice, firm texture
• High or low viscosity
• Extended shelf life
• Good mouth-feel
• Optimized recipe

Interested in reducing or eliminating the amount of egg yolk in your mayo?

Price variations of egg yolk is a challenge to mayonnaise and dressing manufacturers, making it difficult to keep a constant product price when one of the more expensive raw materials fluctuate significantly. Palsgaard has developed a series of stabilizer solutions that will allow you to develop recipes completely without eggs or with reduced amounts of eggs - but with similar results as traditional recipes. Find out more here.
