To investigate the effect of oil types on the
development of low fat mayonnaise, five different
types of oil (sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, olive
oil and sesame oil) were incorporated in the
formulation of low fat mayonnaise at 45% oil level
and xanthan gum was added at concentration of
0.75%. The concentration of xanthan gum was
determined by conducting a pre-experiment for the
formation of low fat emulsion using various levels of
xanthan gum (0.5 – 0.9).
