The a
w
of LF mayonnaise prepared with sunflower
oil or soybean oil at 45% level was higher
(P≤0.05) than that of the FF mayonnaise. The
increase in a
w
values
might be due to the increase
of water holding capacity of the LF mayonnaise
resulted from the addition of hydrocolloid gum.
Chirife, Vigo
[20] reported that the a
of FF
mayonnaise (77 – 79% oil) was about 0.93 and that
of LF mayonnaise (37 - 41% oil) was higher, i.e.
close to 0.95.
