Mayonnaise is a typical oil-in-water (O/W) emulsified food, primarily composed of vegetable oil, egg yolks, water, vinegar or citric acid, salt, sugar, and spices. Its core production technology involves high-speed shear emulsification, which evenly disperses oil droplets in the aqueous phase, forming a stable, smooth, and long-lasting emulsion structure.
To produce mayonnaise, you will need a vacuum mixing emulsifier system. This system includes vacuum degassing, high-speed homogenizing shearing, mixing, heating, a rotor pump, and a pipeline homogenizer.
| The key functions that a mayonnaise vacuum emulsifier mixer must have |
| *Mixing System
Mayonnaise is a high-viscosity product: Requirements:Frame mixer, scraper design, low speed, high torque Recommended: Speed:10-63 rpm Function: Prevents residue from the container walls, ensures uniformity |
|
*High-speed homogenizing emulsification system Spindle speed: 0-3000 rpm Functions: |
|
*Vacuum System Requirements: Vacuum Degree: -0.06~-0.08MPa Functions: ✔ Degassing ✔ Reduced Oxidation ✔ Improved Product Quality |
|
Although mayonnaise is not a high-temperature product, temperature control is required during its production. Requirements: Heating: Cooling: Method: Jacketed circulating water system; Heat transfer oil system |
|
*In-line circulating emulsification function Commonly used in large-scale mayonnaise production: Emulsification tank ↓ Circulation pump (lobe/rotor pump) ↓ High-speed in-linehomogenizer ↓ Return to emulsification tank Advantages: More uniform emulsification Shorter production time Improved batch stability |
