'''Mayonnaise''' (sometimes abbreviated to '''mayo''') is a thick [[condiment]]. White or yellowish-white in color, it is a stable [[emulsion]] of oil, egg yolk as an [[emulsifier]] and vinegar or lemon juice with salt and, in France, sometimes mustard as a flavoring,<ref>"Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil droplets suspended in a base composed of egg whites (no egg yolks), lemon juice or vinegar, water, and often mustard and milk, which provide both flavor and stabilizing particles and carbohydrates."

|||
There are a number of different explanations for the origin of the term ''mayonnaise''. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The ''Larousse Gastronomique 1961'' suggests: "Mayonnaise, in our view, is a popular corruption of ''moyeunaise'', derived from the very old French word ''moyeu'', which means yolk of egg." <ref>''Dictionnaire de l'Académie française, neuvième édition'', "3. Anciennt. Le jaune de l'œuf."</ref> The sauce may have been christened ''mayennaise'' after Charles de Lorraine, duke of Mayenne, because he took the time to finish his meal of chicken with cold sauce before being defeated in the [[Battle of Arques]]{{Fact|date=June 2009}}. Nineteenth-century culinary writer Pierre Lacam suggested that in 1459, a London woman named Annamarie Turcauht stumbled upon this condiment after trying to create a custard of some sort<ref>The page reference has not been identified; the passage appeared either in Lacam's ''Mémorial historique et géographie de la pâtisserie'' (privately printed, Paris 1908), in his ''Nouveau pâtissier glacier français et étranger'' (1865) or his ''Glacier classique et artistique en France et en Italie,'' (1893).</ref>. Another common explanation of mayonnaise's origin is that the recipe was brought back to France from the town of [[Mahon]] in [[Menorca]], after [[Louis-François-Armand du Plessis de Richelieu]]'s victory over the British at the city's port in 1756. According to this version, the sauce was originally known as ''salsa mahonesa'' (as it is still known on Menorca), later becoming ''mayonnaise'' as it was popularized by the French <ref>M. Trutter et al., Culinaria Spain p. 68 (H.F. Ullmann 2008)</ref>. |

''Mayonnaise'' is a [[French cuisine]] appellation that seems to have appeared for the first time in 1806. The hypotheses invoked over time as to the origin(s) of mayonnaise have been numerous and contradictory. Most hypotheses do however agree on the geographical origin of the sauce, [[Mahón]], in [[Menorca]], [[Spain]].<ref name="Glenn">{{cite book|last1=Glenn|first1=Joshua|last2=Larsen|first2=Elizabeth F.|title=Unbored: The Essential Field Guide to Serious Fun|year=2013|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing Plc|isbn=978-14-08830-25-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NrCWLaCkHXAC&dq=mayonnaise+spanish+french&pg=PA158|page=158|access-date=19 March 2023|archive-date=13 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230513141255/https://books.google.com/books?id=NrCWLaCkHXAC&dq=mayonnaise+spanish+french&pg=PA158|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Aragon |first1=Marine |date=2009 |title=La sauce des tropes dans le lexique de la gastronomie française : approche sémantique et pragmatique |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/43344390 |journal=Neuphilologische Mitteilungen |volume=110 |issue=1 |pages=7–26 |doi= |jstor=43344390 |access-date=March 18, 2022 |archive-date=18 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318163427/https://www.jstor.org/stable/43344390 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Héron de Villefosse |first1=Éloge |date=1971 |title=Éloge des Délices de la Table |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44600984 |journal=Revue des Deux Mondes (1829–1971) |volume= |issue= |pages=116 |doi= |jstor=44600984 |access-date=March 18, 2022 |archive-date=18 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318164343/https://www.jstor.org/stable/44600984 |url-status=live }}</ref> Other theories have been dismissed by some authors as being somewhat a retrospective invention aiming to credit the sauce as an invention of south-western [[France]], when most likely, its origin can be found in the port city of Menorca.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Trudgill|first1=Peter|title=European Language Matters: English in Its European Context|year=2021|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-11-08832-96-0|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cBVEEAAAQBAJ&dq=mayonnaise+mahon&pg=PA51|pages=50–51|access-date=19 March 2023|archive-date=7 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230507081020/https://books.google.com/books?id=cBVEEAAAQBAJ&dq=mayonnaise+mahon&pg=PA51|url-status=live}}</ref> |

According to Trutter et al.: "It is highly probable that wherever olive oil existed, a simple preparation of oil and egg came about -- particularly in the Mediterranean region, where ''aioli'' (oil and garlic) is made."<ref>Trutter et al., Culinaria Spain, p. 68 (H.F. Ullmann 2008))</ref>. |
|||
According to [[Émile Littré]], it may have come from Mahón, capital of Menorca, in the [[Balearic Islands]], Spain, occupied by the British at the time and then conquered by the [[Armand de Vignerot du Plessis|Duc de Richelieu]] in 1756. His cook would have presented him with this sauce, called the "mahonnaise", made with the only two ingredients he had: egg and oil. Nevertheless, this sauce was starting to be described a little before this event while several versions of similar sauces existed in France and in Spain. |
|||
According to the ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'', ''mayonnaise'' made its English language debut in a cookbook of 1841. |
|||
Mayonnaise sauce may have its origins in the ancient [[remoulade]]. Another hypothesis is that mayonnaise is derived from [[aioli]].<ref name="Glenn" /> Finally, the process of [[emulsifying]] [[Yolk|egg yolk]] was known for a long time to pharmacists, who used it to prepare [[ointments]] and salves. Some have pointed out that it would make sense that mayonnaise originated in Spain given its requirement of olive oil, a liquid produced and consumed mostly there at the time.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Revista |first1=Litoral |date=2006 |title=Salsa Mayonesa |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/43433620 |journal=Litoral |volume=241 |issue=241 |pages=165 |doi= |jstor=43433620 |access-date=March 18, 2022 |archive-date=18 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318163424/https://www.jstor.org/stable/43433620 |url-status=live }}</ref> This hypothesis is similar to another that places the origins of [[French fries]] in Spain using the same rationale.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rupp|first=Rebecca|date=8 January 2015|title=Are French Fries Truly French?|url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/are-french-fries-truly-french|access-date=26 October 2021|website=Culture|language=en|archive-date=18 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220118212851/https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/are-french-fries-truly-french|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="ilegems1">{{cite book|last=Ilegems|first=Paul|title=De Frietkotcultuur|publisher=Loempia|year=1993|isbn=978-90-6771-325-2|language=nl}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Swalec|first=Andrea|date=28 July 2010|title=In Belgium, frites aren't small potatoes|language=en|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-belgium-food-fries-idUSTRE66R1JI20100728|access-date=26 October 2021|archive-date=3 March 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220303052447/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-belgium-food-fries-idUSTRE66R1JI20100728|url-status=live}}</ref> |

==Making mayonnaise== |
|||
Remoulade sauce was known for a long time and there were hot and cold versions of it. In both cases, the base was oil, vinegar, salt, herbs, often other ingredients such as capers or anchovies, and then mustard; in short, it was an enriched [[vinaigrette]].{{citation needed|date=February 2024}} |
|||
Mayonnaise can be made with an [[mixer|electric mixer]], an [[blender (device)|electric blender]], or a [[food processor]], or by hand with a [[whisk]] or fork. Mayonnaise is made by slowly adding oil to an egg yolk, while whisking vigorously to disperse the oil. The oil and the [[water]] in yolks form a base of the emulsion, while the [[lecithin]] from the yolks is the [[emulsifier]] that stabilizes it. Additionally, a bit of a mustard may also be added to sharpen its taste, and further stabilize the emulsion. Mustard contains small amounts of lecithin.<ref>Good Eats; Season four; ''Mayo Clinic''</ref> |
|||
In the early 18th century, [[Vincent La Chapelle]] had the idea of incorporating "velouté", based on [[roux]], a mixture of flour and fat, to bind it. In 1742, François Marin published in the ''Suite des Dons de Comus'' a recipe called "beurre de Provence" which contains garlic cloves cooked in water, crushed with salt, pepper, capers and anchovies, then mixed with oil. This recipe is also close to the aioli, the egg yolk appearing later. |
|||
===Traditional recipe=== |
|||
The traditional European recipe is essentially the same as the basic one described above, but it uses top-quality olive oil and sometimes vinegar or lemon juice. Some [[nouvelle cuisine]] recipes specify [[safflower]] oil. It is considered essential to constantly beat the mayonnaise using a whisk while adding the olive oil a drop at a time, fully incorporating the oil before adding the next tablespoon. Experienced cooks can judge when the mayonnaise is done by the emulsion's resistance to the beating action. Mayonnaise made this way may taste strong or sharp to people accustomed to commercial products. |
|||
In 1750, Francesc Roger Gomila, a [[Valencia]]n friar, published a recipe for a sauce similar to mayonnaise in ''Art de la Cuina'' ('The Art of Cooking'). He calls the sauce ''aioli bo''.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Pelfort|first=Pep|date=2019-11-24|title=La Vertadera Història de la Salsa Maonesa Altrament Dita Aioli BO|trans-title=The True History of Mayonnaise Sauce Otherwise Called Aioli BO|url=http://www.cegmenorca.org/maonesa.htm|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200403081953/http://www.cegmenorca.org/maonesa.htm|archive-date=2020-04-03|access-date=2021-04-08|website=cegmenorca.org}}</ref> If he does not describe precisely the recipe—suggesting that it was known by everyone on the island—the way it is used, the preparations for which it is used as a base and the dishes with which it is associated are most often inconceivable with an aioli. Earlier recipes of similar emulsified sauces, usually containing [[garlic]], appear in a number of Spanish recipe books dating back to the 14th-century ''{{ill|Llibre de Sent Soví|es}}'', where it is called ''[[Alioli|all-i-oli]]'', literally 'garlic and oil' in [[Catalan language|Catalan]].<ref name="Mazas">{{cite book | first=Eduardo | last=Martín Mazas | year=2008 | title=Teodoro Bardají Mas, el precursor de la cocina moderna en España | publisher=Ciudad de edición}}</ref><ref name="Soví">{{cite book | author=Anónimo | title=Llibre de Sent Soví | publisher=Ed. Barcino | year=1979}}</ref> This sauce had clearly spread throughout the [[Crown of Aragon]], for [[Juan de Altamiras]] gives a recipe for it in his celebrated 1745 recipe book ''Nuevo Arte de Cocina'' ('New Art of Cooking').<ref name="Altamiras">{{cite book | author=Juan de Altamiras | year=1745 | title=Nuevo Arte de Cocina | publisher=Ed. La Val de Onsera | page=101}}</ref> |
|||
===Composition=== |
|||
Homemade mayonnaise can approach 85% fat before the emulsion breaks down; commercial mayonnaises are more typically 70-80% fat. "Low fat" mayonnaise products contain [[starch]]es, cellulose gel, or other ingredients to simulate the texture of real mayonnaise. |
|||
On April 18, 1756, the [[Louis François Armand de Vignerot du Plessis|Duke of Richelieu]] invaded Menorca and took the port of [[Mahon]]. A theory states that the ''aioli bo'' sauce was thereafter adopted by the cook of the Duke of Richelieu, who upon his return to France made the sauce famous in the [[Versailles|French court]].<ref name="Mitford">{{cite book | author=Mitford, Nancy; Amanda Foreman | year=2001 | title=Madame de Pompadour | publisher=NYRB Classics | edition=reimpresa | isbn=094032265X | page=214}}</ref> which would have been known as ''mahonnaise'' .<ref name="Baradaji">{{cite book|author=Bardají Mas, Teodoro|author-link=Teodoro Bardají|title=La salsa mahonesa|publisher=Impr.

Some homemade recipes use the whole egg, including the [[egg white|white]]. It can also be made using solely egg whites, with no yolks at all, if it is done at high speed in a food processor. The resulting texture appears to be the same, and—if seasoned, for example, with salt, pepper, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, and a little paprika—the taste is similar to traditional mayonnaise made with egg yolks.{{Fact|date=January 2009}}. |
|||
Another version is [[Alexandre Balthazar Laurent Grimod de La Reynière|Grimod de La Reynière]]'s 1808 ''bayonnaise'' sauce which is a sort of [[aspic]]: "But if one wants to make from this cold chicken, a dish of distinction, one composes a bayonnaise, whose green jelly, of a good consistency, forms the most worthy ornament of poultry and fish salads."<ref name="grimod">{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/manueldesamphit00renagoog|title=Manuel des amphitryons|last1=Grimod de La Reynière|first1=A.B.L.|date=1808|page=[https://archive.org/details/manueldesamphit00renagoog/page/n133 99]|publisher=Capelle et Renand|access-date=1 July 2018}}</ref>{{primary inline|date=April 2021}} |
|||
Commercial producers either [[pasteurization|pasteurize]] the yolks, freeze them and substitute water for most of their liquid, or use other emulsifiers. For homemade mayonnaise it is recommended using the freshest eggs possible. Some stores sell [[pasteurization|pasteurize]]d eggs for home use. The eggs can also be coddled in 170°F (77°C) water, after which the hot yolks, now slightly cooked, are removed from the whites. Homemade mayonnaise will generally only keep under refrigeration for three to four days. |

In 1806, [[André Viard]], in [[Le Cuisinier Impérial|Le Cuisinier impérial]], transformed this recipe for remoulade by replacing the roux with egg yolk.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Viard|first=André (17–1834) Auteur du texte|url=https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k110705g|title=Le cuisinier impérial, ou L'art de faire la cuisine et la pâtisserie pour toutes les fortunes, avec différentes recettes d'office et de fruits confits et la manière de servir une table depuis vingt jusqu'à soixante couverts / par A.

Commercial Mayonnaise, due to the addition of acids like vinegar or lemon juice, has a [[pH]] between 3.8 and 4.6, making it an [[acidic]] food. There is a misconception that foods like potato salad can make a person sick if left out in the sun, due to the mayonnaise spoiling. This is false; the pH of mayonnaise prevents harmful [[bacteria]] from growing in it. Left out of refrigeration, mayonnaise will develop an unappetizing taste and smell, due to other types of [[bacteria]] and [[molds]] that can spoil it; but will not make one sick. <ref>{{cite web|last=Elliott |first=Debbie |url=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5639903 |title=Happy Birthday, Dear Mayo - We Hold You Dear : NPR |publisher=NPR<! |date= |accessdate=2009-06-23}}</ref> |

It is only in 1815 that [[Marie-Antoine Carême|Antonin Carême]] mentions a cold "magnonaise" emulsified with egg yolk. The word "mayonnaise" is attested in English in 1815.<ref>{{OED|mayonnaise|id=115319}}</ref> |
|||
According to the ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'', ''mayonnaise'' made its English language debut in a cookbook of 1841. |

[[Auguste Escoffier]] wrote that mayonnaise was a French [[French Mother Sauces|mother sauce]] of cold sauces,<ref>{{Cite book|last=Escoffier|first=Auguste|url=https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k96923116|title=Le guide culinaire: aide-mémoire de cuisine pratique (3e édition) / par A.

==Use of Mayonnaise== |
|||
Worldwide, mayonnaise is commonly served in a sandwich, or with salad such as [[potato salad]] or canned tuna ("tuna mayo" or [[tuna salad]]). Regional uses are listed below: |
|||
==Etymology== |
|||
===In North America=== |
|||
Commercial mayonnaise sold in jars originated in [[New York, New York|New York City]], in Manhattan's [[Upper West Side]]. In 1905, the first ready-made mayonnaise was sold by a family from [[Vetschau]], [[Germany]] at [[Hellmann's and Best Foods|Richard Hellmann's]] delicatessen on Columbus Avenue, between 83rd and 84th Streets. In 1912, Mrs. Hellmann's mayonnaise was mass marketed and called Hellmann's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise. |
|||
The origin of the name ''mayonnaise'' is unclear, though some records indicate its introduction to the early 1800s,{{cn|date=November 2022}} with numerous suggested, sometimes contradictory suggestions.{{cn|date=November 2022}} |
|||
At about the same time that Hellmann's Mayonnaise was thriving on the East Coast of the [[United States]], a California company, [[Best Foods]], introduced their own mayonnaise, which turned out to be very popular in the western United States. In 1932, Best Foods bought the Hellmann's brand. By then, both mayonnaises had such commanding market shares in their own half of the country that it was decided that both brands be preserved. The company is now owned by [[Unilever]]. |

In the Southeastern part of the United States, Mrs. Eugenia Duke of [[Greenville, South Carolina]], founded the Duke Sandwich Company in 1917 to sell sandwiches to soldiers training at nearby Fort Sevier. Her homemade mayonnaise became so popular that her company began to focus exclusively on producing and selling the mayonnaise, eventually selling out to the [[C.F. Sauer Company]] of Richmond, Virginia, in 1929. [[Duke's Mayonnaise]], still made to the original recipe, remains a popular brand of mayonnaise in the Southeast, although it is not generally available in other markets. |

[[Alexandre Balthazar Laurent Grimod de La Reynière]], a lawyer by qualification who acquired fame during the reign of [[Napoleon]] for his sensual and public gastronomic lifestyle, rejected the name ''mayonnaise'' because the word "is not French". He also rejected the name ''mahonnaise'' because Port Mahon "is not known for good food", and thus he preferred ''bayonnaise'', after the city of [[Bayonne]], which "has many innovative gourmands and... produces the best hams in Europe."<ref name="grimod211">{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/manueldesamphit00renagoog|title=Manuel des amphitryons|last1=Grimod de La Reynière|first1=A.B.L.|date=1808|publisher=Capelle et Renand|page=[https://archive.org/details/manueldesamphit00renagoog/page/n251 211]|access-date=1 July 2018}}</ref><ref name="oed" /> Indeed, the city of [[Bayonne]] (sauce {{lang|fr|à la Bayonnaise}}) could also have given its name to this type of sauce, by spelling deformation. This form would seem to be confirmed by the fact that there is no written record of the sauce {{lang|fr|à la mayonnaise}} before the beginning of the 19th century, long after the capture of the city of [[Mahón]].<ref>Jean Vitaux, « Le nom des plats dans l’Histoire », chronique ''Histoire et gastronomie'', sur Canal Académie, 4 novembre 2012</ref> |

In Canada Kraft Foods is the largest purveyor of mayonnaise. In its television advertising it attempts to spread the French pronunciation "my-o-nezz" but this has not caught on with consumers. |
|||
Another hypothesis is based, according to [[Marie-Antoine Carême]], a famous contemporary French chef, on a derivative of {{lang|fr|magnonaise}} (from the verb {{lang|fr|magner}}, or {{lang|fr|manier}}) or, according to [[Prosper Montagné]], of {{lang|fr|moyeunaise}} (or {{lang|fr|moyennaise}}), based on {{lang|fr|moyeu(x)}} (or {{lang|fr|moyen}}) which means 'egg yolk', in [[Old French]]. It has also been suggested that the word be linked to the old verb {{lang|fr|mailler}}, meaning 'to beat'.<ref>''Le Grand Robert'', <abbr>t.</abbr> 4, Paris, 2001, s.v. « Mayonnaise », <abbr>p.</abbr> 1280.</ref> |

[[Joseph Favre]], for his part, states in his memoirs that mayonnaise is an alteration of the word {{lang|fr|magnonnaise}}, derived from {{lang|fr|Magnon}} ([[Lot-et-Garonne]]), and that a cook from Magnon would have popularized it first in the [[South of France]]; he notes that this sauce has been variously named ''mahonnaise'', ''bayonnaise'' and ''mayonnaise''.<ref>Joseph Favre, ''Dictionnaire universel de cuisine. Encyclopédie illustrée d'hygiène alimentaire'',</ref> |
|||
A more controversial hypothesis, put forward by the linguist and historian Nicolas Lepreux, suggests that mayonnaise originated in the [[Mayenne|Mayenne region]], and that the "e" would have changed into an "o" over time: the apocryphal story tells that the [[Charles, Duke of Mayenne|Duke of Mayenne]], on the day before the [[Battle of Arques]], overindulged on chickens seasoned with a remarkable sauce, so that the next day he fell off his horse and lost the battle.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} |

==Preparation== |

Recipes for mayonnaise date to the early nineteenth century. In 1815, [[Louis Eustache Ude]] wrote: |
|||
<blockquote>No 58.—Mayonnaise. Take three spoonfuls of [[Allemande sauce|Allemande]], six ditto of aspic, and two of oil. Add a little [[tarragon]] vinegar, that has not boiled, some pepper and salt, and minced [[Sauce ravigote|ravigotte]], or merely some parsley. Then put in the members of fowl, or fillets of soles, &c. Your mayonnaise must be put to ice; neither are you to put the members into your sauce till it begins to freeze. Next dish your meat or fish, mask with the sauce before it be quite frozen, and garnish your dish with whatever you think proper, as beet root, jelly, nasturtiums, &c.<ref>{{cite book|last=Ude|first=Louis Eustache|title=The French Cook, Or, The Art of Cookery: Developed in All Its Branches|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_xYwEAAAAYAAJ|year=1815|publisher=author|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_xYwEAAAAYAAJ/page/n45 34]}}</ref></blockquote> |
|||
In an 1820 work, Viard describes something like the more familiar emulsified version: |
|||
<blockquote>This sauce is made to "take" in many ways: with raw egg yolks, with gelatine, with veal or veal brain glaze. The most common method is to take a raw egg yolk in a small [[Terrine (cookware)|terrine]], with a little salt and lemon juice: take a wooden spoon, turn it while letting a trickle of oil fall and stirring constantly; as your sauce thickens, add a little vinegar; put in too a pound of good oil: serve your sauce with good salt: serve it white or green, adding green of ravigote or green of spinach. This sauce is used for cold fish entrees, or salad of vegetables cooked in salt water.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Viard|author2=Fouret|title=Le cuisinier royal|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_6B5fVHfmd8kC|year=1820|publisher=J.-N.

This recipe included six egg yolks, half a bottle of olive oil (volume not otherwise defined) and one-half teaspoon of vinegar. The serving suggestion was to pour this over roast chicken or turkey, with garnish of lettuce and hard eggs.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/402118111/?terms=mayonnaise%20&match=1 |title=The Huddersfield Chronicle and West Yorkshire Advertiser}}</ref> |

Modern mayonnaise can be made by hand with a [[whisk]], a [[fork]], or with the aid of an electric [[Mixer (cooking)|mixer]] or [[blender]]. It is made by slowly adding oil to an egg yolk, while whisking vigorously to disperse the oil. The oil and the water in the yolk form a base of the emulsion, while [[lecithin]] and protein from the yolk is the [[emulsifier]] that stabilizes it.<ref name="Exploratorium">{{cite web |url=http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/eggs/eggscience.html |title=Science of Cooking: Science of Eggs |publisher=Exploratorium.edu |access-date=17 November 2011 |archive-date=14 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200414113835/https://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/eggs/eggscience.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Segil|first1=Wallace|last2=Zou|first2=Hong|title=Eggs: Nutrition, Consumption, and Health|date=2012|publisher=Nova Science Publishers|location=New York|isbn=9781621001256}}</ref>{{Page needed|date=May 2015}} A combination of van der Waals interactions and electrostatic repulsion determine the bond strength among oil droplets.

For large-scale preparation of mayonnaise where mixing equipment is being employed, the process typically begins with the dispersal of eggs, either [[Powdered eggs|powdered]] or liquid, into water. Once emulsified, the remaining ingredients are then added and vigorously mixed until completely hydrated and evenly dispersed. Oil is then added as rapidly as it can be absorbed. Though only a small part of the total, ingredients other than the oil are critical to proper formulation. These must be totally hydrated and dispersed within a small liquid volume, which can cause difficulties including emulsion breakdown during the oil-adding phase. Often, a long agitation process is required to achieve proper dispersal/emulsification, presenting one of the trickiest phases of the production process.<ref name="Mayonnaise Manufacture">{{cite web|url=https://www.silverson.com/us/resource-library/application-reports/mayonnaise-manufacture|title=Mayonnaise Manufacture|publisher=Silverson Mixers|access-date=17 October 2019|archive-date=22 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922020136/https://www.silverson.com/us/resource-library/application-reports/mayonnaise-manufacture|url-status=live}}</ref> As food technology advances processing has been shortened drastically, allowing about 1000 liters to be produced in 10 minutes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ikaprocess.com/owa/ika/content.news_detail?iNews=147&iDiv=3 |title=IKA – 1000 liters Mayonnaise in only 10 minutes! |publisher=Ikaprocess.com |access-date=14 February 2015 |archive-date=14 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214223105/http://www.ikaprocess.com/owa/ika/content.news_detail?iNews=147&iDiv=3 |url-status=live }}</ref>{{anchor|Mayonnaise alternatives}}{{anchor|Imitations}} |

Japanese mayonnaise is typically made with [[apple cider vinegar]] or [[rice vinegar]] and a small amount of [[monosodium glutamate|MSG]], which gives it a different flavor profile from mayonnaise made from [[vinegar|distilled vinegar]]. It is most often sold in soft plastic squeeze bottles. Its texture is thinner than most Western commercial mayonnaise. A variety containing [[karashi]] (Japanese mustard) is also common. |

Apart from salads, it is popular with dishes such as [[okonomiyaki]], [[takoyaki]] and [[yakisoba]] and usually accompanies [[katsu]] and [[karaage]]. It is sometimes served with cooked vegetables, or mixed with soy sauce or wasabi and used as dips. In the [[Tōkai region]], it is a frequent condiment on ''[[Ramen#Related dishes|hiyashi chuka]]'' (cold noodle salad). Many fried seafood dishes are served with a side of mayonnaise for dipping. It is also not uncommon for Japanese to use mayonnaise in place of tomato sauce on pizza. |

Mayonnaise is very popular in Russia, where it is made with [[sunflower oil]] and [[soybean oil]]. A 2004 study showed that Russia is the only market in Europe where more mayonnaise than [[ketchup]] is sold. It is used as a sauce in the most popular salads in Russia, such as [[Olivier salad]] (also known as Russian salad), [[dressed herring]], and many others. Leading brands are Calvé (marketed by [[Unilever]]) and Sloboda (marketed by Efko).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.foodnavigator.com/Financial-Industry/Moscow-s-particular-taste-in-sauces |title=Moscow's particular taste in sauces |date=14 June 2004 |publisher=FoodNavigator.com |access-date=27 March 2013 |archive-date=31 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130331173233/http://www.foodnavigator.com/Financial-Industry/Moscow-s-particular-taste-in-sauces |url-status=live }}</ref> |

Kewpie (Q.P.) is the most popular brand of Japanese mayonnaise, advertised with a [[Kewpie doll (toy)|Kewpie doll]] logo. |

Commercial mayonnaise marketed in jars originated in [[Philadelphia]] in 1907 when Amelia Schlorer began marketing a mayonnaise recipe originally used in salads sold in her family's grocery store. [[Mrs. Schlorer's]] mayonnaise was an instant success with local customers and eventually grew into the Schlorer Delicatessen Company.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19570829&id=aDEaAAAAIBAJ&pg=7076,5069512 |title=The Milwaukee Journal |website=Google News Archive Search |access-date=27 August 2015 }}{{Dead link|date=June 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Around the same time in New York City, a family from [[Vetschau]], Germany, at [[Hellmann's and Best Foods|Richard Hellmann's]] delicatessen on Columbus Avenue, featured his wife's homemade recipe in salads sold in their delicatessen.

In 1912, Mrs. Hellmann's mayonnaise was mass-marketed and was trademarked in 1926 as Hellmann's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise. After numerous corporate iterations, Hellmann's is now marketed in the [[Eastern United States]] and as ''Best Foods Mayonnaise'' in the [[Western United States]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Smith|first1=Andrew F.|title=The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink|date=2007|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York|isbn=9780195307962|page=397|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AoWlCmNDA3QC&pg=PT397|access-date=14 February 2015}}</ref> Mayonnaise sales are about [[US$]]1.3 billion per year in the U.S.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://nypost.com/2011/09/17/hellmanns-mayonnaise-americas-best-selling-condiment|title=Hellmann's mayonnaise America's best-selling condiment|date=2011-09-17|work=New York Post|access-date=2017-12-13|language=en-US|archive-date=6 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180406231409/https://nypost.com/2011/09/17/hellmanns-mayonnaise-americas-best-selling-condiment/|url-status=live}}</ref> |

===Russia=== |

Mayonnaise is very popular in Russia where it is made with [[sunflower]] seed oil which gives it a very distinctive flavor. A 2004 study{{Fact|date=May 2009}} showed that Russia is the only market in Europe where more mayonnaise is sold than [[ketchup]] by volume. It's used as a sauce in the most popular salads in Russia such as [[Russian Salad]] [oliv'e] and [[Dressed Herring]] and also many others. Leading brands are Calve (marketed by Unilever) and Sloboda (marketed by Efko). |

A typical formulation for commercially made mayonnaise (not low fat) can contain as much as 80% vegetable oil, typically soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, or corn oil,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ferreira de Menezes |first1=Rose Carla |last2=de Carvalho Gomes |first2=Queliane Cristina |last3=Santos de Almeida |first3=Beatriz |last4=Filgueiras Rebelo de Matos |first4=Márcia |last5=Cedraz Pinto |first5=Laise |date=2022 |title=Plant-based mayonnaise: Trending ingredients for innovative products |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1878450X22001342 |journal=International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science |volume=30 |issue=1 |page=100599 |doi=10.1016/j.ijgfs.2022.100599 |s2cid=252345527 |access-date=2023-01-01 |archive-date=1 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230101160547/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1878450X22001342 |url-status=live }}</ref> depending on region of production, but, in specialty products, sometimes olive or avocado oil.

Low-fat formulas will typically decrease oil content to just 50% and increase water content to about 35%. Egg content is reduced to 4% and vinegar to 3%. Sugar is increased to 1.5% and salt lowered to 0.7%. Gums or thickeners (4%) are added to increase viscosity, improve texture, and ensure a stable emulsion.<ref name="Mayonnaise Manufacture"/> Mayonnaise is prepared using several methods, but on average it contains around {{convert|700|kcal}} per 100 grams, or 94 kilocalories (Cal) per tablespoon.

The nutrient content of mayonnaise (> 50% edible oil, 9–11% salt, 7–10% sugar in the aqueous phase) makes it suitable as a food source for many spoilage organisms.

===Chile=== |

Chile is the world's third major per capita consumer of mayonnaise and first in [[Latin America]]. Since mayonnaise became widely accessible in the 1980s Chileans have used it on [[concholepas concholepas|loco]]s, [[hot dogs]], [[French fries]], and on boiled potatoes. |

===Australia=== |
|||
In Australia, sugar is added to mayonnaise by most manufacturers and vinegar or lemon juice omitted: unsweetened mayonnaise has not been marketed with wide success. The S&N brand is the only brand in wide distribution which is unsweetened. Unsweetened condiments are largely unknown in Australia. The American [[Subway (restaurant)|Subway]] fast food chain has experimented unsuccessfully with unsweetened mustard and other savory condiments but has settled on "honey mustard" as a condiment that Australians will accept. Highly sweetened mayonnaise is used in potato salads and other delicatessen fare in Australia, but it must be very sweet to find favor with Australian consumers. Tartar sauce (spelled "tartare" and pronounced "tah-tear"), with a mayonaise base, is sweetened even more. |

Mayonnaise, both commercially processed and home-made, has been associated with illnesses from ''[[Salmonella]]'' globally. The source of the ''Salmonella'' has been confirmed to be raw eggs.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q2Rfq1ZIWTMC|title=Microbiologically Safe Foods|last=Garcia|first=Jose Santos|date=2009-04-01|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=9780470439067|language=en}}</ref> Several outbreaks with fatal cases have been recorded, with a few major incidents.

The pH of the contaminated mayonnaise was 6.0, with ''Salmonella'' counts of 6 million CFU/g. In 1976 there were serious salmonellosis outbreaks on four flights to and from Spain which caused 500 cases and six fatalities.

===As a base for other sauces=== |
|||
Mayonnaise is the base for many other chilled sauces and [[salad dressing]]s. For example: |
|||
* [[Aïoli]] is often made as an olive-oil mayonnaise with garlic. |
|||
* [[Fry sauce]] is a mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup or another red sauce (e.g., [[Tabasco sauce]], [[Buffalo wing]] sauce, or one of many smokey [[barbecue sauce]]s popular in the Northwest states), spices, and sometimes a strong tasting salty liquid (such as [[Worcestershire sauce|worcestershire]] or [[soy sauce]]) is added to balance out the sweeter red sauces. Commonly eaten on french fries in [[Utah]], [[Idaho]], eastern [[Washington]] and rural [[Oregon]]. |
|||
* [[Marie Rose sauce]] combines mayonnaise with [[tomato sauce]] or [[ketchup]], cream, flavorings and brandy. In [[North America]], a processed version of Marie-Rose, called "Russian Dressing" sometimes uses mayonnaise as a base. However, most homemade varieties and nearly all commercial brands of "Russian dressing" use little or no mayonnaise as a base. They are very dark red and sweet dressings made with vegetable oil, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, and a variety of herbs and spices (often including mustard). |
|||
* [[Mayonesa]] is a lime-flavored mayonnaise, usually found in Mexican or other Hispanic groceries in North America. |
|||
* [[Ranch dressing]] is made of [[buttermilk]] or [[sour cream]], mayonnaise, and minced [[green onion]], along with other seasonings. |
|||
* [[Rouille]] is aïoli with added [[saffron]], red pepper or paprika. |
|||
* [[Salsa golf]] created in Argentina is Mayonnaise with ketchup as well as spices such as red pepper or oregano. |
|||
* [[Remoulade|Sauce rémoulade]], in classic French cuisine is mayonnaise to which has been added mustard, gherkins, capers, parsley, chervil, tarragon, and possibly [[anchovy essence]].<ref>See, for example, ''[[Larousse Gastronomique]]'', 2003, ISBN 0 600 60863 8, page 1054.</ref> An industrially made variety is popular in [[Denmark]] with french fries and fried fish. It is quite different from most of the remoulade sauces that are frequently found in Louisiana and generally do not have a mayonnaise base. |
|||
* [[Tartar sauce]] is mayonnaise spiced with [[pickled cucumber]]s and [[onion]]. [[Capers]], [[olives]], and crushed hardboiled eggs are sometimes included. A simpler recipe calls for only pickle relish to be added to the mayonnaise. |
|||
* [[Thousand Island dressing]] is a salmon-pink dressing that combines tomato sauce and/or tomato ketchup or ketchup-based chili sauce, minced sweet pickles or sweet pickle relish, assorted herbs and spices (usually including mustard), and sometimes including chopped hard-boiled egg—all thoroughly blended into a mayonnaise base. |
|||
*Certain variations of [[honey mustard]] are based on mayonnaise and are made by combining mayonnaise with plain [[mustard (condiment)|mustard]], [[brown sugar]], and [[lemon]] juice. |

Mayonnaise (/ˌmeɪəˈneɪz/),[1] colloquially referred to as "mayo" (/ˈmeɪoʊ/),[2] is a thick, cold, and creamy sauce commonly used on sandwiches, hamburgers, composed salads, and French fries. It also forms the base for various other sauces, such as tartar sauce, fry sauce, remoulade, salsa golf, ranch dressing, and rouille.[3]
Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and an acid, either vinegar or lemon juice;[4] there are many variants using additional flavorings. The color varies from near-white to pale yellow, and its texture from a light cream to a thick gel.
Commercial eggless versions are made for those who avoid chicken eggs because of egg allergies, to limit dietary cholesterol, or because they are vegetarian or vegan.[5]
History
Mayonnaise is a French cuisine appellation that seems to have appeared for the first time in 1806. The hypotheses invoked over time as to the origin(s) of mayonnaise have been numerous and contradictory. Most hypotheses do however agree on the geographical origin of the sauce, Mahón, in Menorca, Spain.[6][7][8] Other theories have been dismissed by some authors as being somewhat a retrospective invention aiming to credit the sauce as an invention of south-western France, when most likely, its origin can be found in the port city of Menorca.[9]
According to Émile Littré, it may have come from Mahón, capital of Menorca, in the Balearic Islands, Spain, occupied by the British at the time and then conquered by the Duc de Richelieu in 1756. His cook would have presented him with this sauce, called the "mahonnaise", made with the only two ingredients he had: egg and oil. Nevertheless, this sauce was starting to be described a little before this event while several versions of similar sauces existed in France and in Spain.
Mayonnaise sauce may have its origins in the ancient remoulade. Another hypothesis is that mayonnaise is derived from aioli.[6] Finally, the process of emulsifying egg yolk was known for a long time to pharmacists, who used it to prepare ointments and salves. Some have pointed out that it would make sense that mayonnaise originated in Spain given its requirement of olive oil, a liquid produced and consumed mostly there at the time.[10] This hypothesis is similar to another that places the origins of French fries in Spain using the same rationale.[11][12][13]
Remoulade sauce was known for a long time and there were hot and cold versions of it. In both cases, the base was oil, vinegar, salt, herbs, often other ingredients such as capers or anchovies, and then mustard; in short, it was an enriched vinaigrette.[citation needed]
In the early 18th century, Vincent La Chapelle had the idea of incorporating "velouté", based on roux, a mixture of flour and fat, to bind it. In 1742, François Marin published in the Suite des Dons de Comus a recipe called "beurre de Provence" which contains garlic cloves cooked in water, crushed with salt, pepper, capers and anchovies, then mixed with oil. This recipe is also close to the aioli, the egg yolk appearing later.
In 1750, Francesc Roger Gomila, a Valencian friar, published a recipe for a sauce similar to mayonnaise in Art de la Cuina ('The Art of Cooking'). He calls the sauce aioli bo.[14] If he does not describe precisely the recipe—suggesting that it was known by everyone on the island—the way it is used, the preparations for which it is used as a base and the dishes with which it is associated are most often inconceivable with an aioli. Earlier recipes of similar emulsified sauces, usually containing garlic, appear in a number of Spanish recipe books dating back to the 14th-century Llibre de Sent Soví , where it is called all-i-oli, literally 'garlic and oil' in Catalan.[15][16] This sauce had clearly spread throughout the Crown of Aragon, for Juan de Altamiras gives a recipe for it in his celebrated 1745 recipe book Nuevo Arte de Cocina ('New Art of Cooking').[17]
On April 18, 1756, the Duke of Richelieu invaded Menorca and took the port of Mahon. A theory states that the aioli bo sauce was thereafter adopted by the cook of the Duke of Richelieu, who upon his return to France made the sauce famous in the French court.[18] which would have been known as mahonnaise .[19][20][21] A number of legends arose relating how the Duke of Richelieu first tried the sauce, including his discovery of the sauce in a local inn of Mahon where he would have allegedly asked the innkeeper to make him some dinner during the siege of Mahon,[22] and even that he invented it himself as a quick garnish.[20]
Another version is Grimod de La Reynière's 1808 bayonnaise sauce which is a sort of aspic: "But if one wants to make from this cold chicken, a dish of distinction, one composes a bayonnaise, whose green jelly, of a good consistency, forms the most worthy ornament of poultry and fish salads."[23][non-primary source needed]
In 1806, André Viard, in Le Cuisinier impérial, transformed this recipe for remoulade by replacing the roux with egg yolk.[24] In another recipe, an Indian remoulade, without mustard, he specifies that the binding is facilitated by incorporating the oil little by little. This is the first modern mention of a stable cold emulsified sauce.[25] In the same book, he also proposes a sauce called mayonnaise (the first recorded attestation of the name) but which is not an emulsion but a sauce linked to velouté and jelly.
It is only in 1815 that Antonin Carême mentions a cold "magnonaise" emulsified with egg yolk. The word "mayonnaise" is attested in English in 1815.[26]
Auguste Escoffier wrote that mayonnaise was a French mother sauce of cold sauces,[27] like espagnole or velouté.
Etymology
The origin of the name mayonnaise is unclear, though some records indicate its introduction to the early 1800s,[citation needed] with numerous suggested, sometimes contradictory suggestions.[citation needed]
A common theory is that it is named for Port Mahon (Maó in Catalan), itself named after its founder Mago Barca,[28][29] in Menorca, in honor of the 3rd Duke of Richelieu's victory over the British in 1756, and in fact the name mahonnaise is used by some authors. But the name is only attested several decades after that event.[30][31] One version of this theory says that it was originally known as salsa mahonesa in Spanish,[32][33] but that spelling too is only attested later.[31]
Alexandre Balthazar Laurent Grimod de La Reynière, a lawyer by qualification who acquired fame during the reign of Napoleon for his sensual and public gastronomic lifestyle, rejected the name mayonnaise because the word "is not French". He also rejected the name mahonnaise because Port Mahon "is not known for good food", and thus he preferred bayonnaise, after the city of Bayonne, which "has many innovative gourmands and... produces the best hams in Europe."[34][31] Indeed, the city of Bayonne (sauce à la Bayonnaise) could also have given its name to this type of sauce, by spelling deformation. This form would seem to be confirmed by the fact that there is no written record of the sauce à la mayonnaise before the beginning of the 19th century, long after the capture of the city of Mahón.[35]
Another hypothesis is based, according to Marie-Antoine Carême, a famous contemporary French chef, on a derivative of magnonaise (from the verb magner, or manier) or, according to Prosper Montagné, of moyeunaise (or moyennaise), based on moyeu(x) (or moyen) which means 'egg yolk', in Old French. It has also been suggested that the word be linked to the old verb mailler, meaning 'to beat'.[36]
Joseph Favre, for his part, states in his memoirs that mayonnaise is an alteration of the word magnonnaise, derived from Magnon (Lot-et-Garonne), and that a cook from Magnon would have popularized it first in the South of France; he notes that this sauce has been variously named mahonnaise, bayonnaise and mayonnaise.[37]
A more controversial hypothesis, put forward by the linguist and historian Nicolas Lepreux, suggests that mayonnaise originated in the Mayenne region, and that the "e" would have changed into an "o" over time: the apocryphal story tells that the Duke of Mayenne, on the day before the Battle of Arques, overindulged on chickens seasoned with a remarkable sauce, so that the next day he fell off his horse and lost the battle.[citation needed]
Preparation
Recipes for mayonnaise date to the early nineteenth century. In 1815, Louis Eustache Ude wrote:
No 58.—Mayonnaise. Take three spoonfuls of Allemande, six ditto of aspic, and two of oil. Add a little tarragon vinegar, that has not boiled, some pepper and salt, and minced ravigotte, or merely some parsley. Then put in the members of fowl, or fillets of soles, &c. Your mayonnaise must be put to ice; neither are you to put the members into your sauce till it begins to freeze. Next dish your meat or fish, mask with the sauce before it be quite frozen, and garnish your dish with whatever you think proper, as beet root, jelly, nasturtiums, &c.[38]
In an 1820 work, Viard describes something like the more familiar emulsified version:
This sauce is made to "take" in many ways: with raw egg yolks, with gelatine, with veal or veal brain glaze. The most common method is to take a raw egg yolk in a small terrine, with a little salt and lemon juice: take a wooden spoon, turn it while letting a trickle of oil fall and stirring constantly; as your sauce thickens, add a little vinegar; put in too a pound of good oil: serve your sauce with good salt: serve it white or green, adding green of ravigote or green of spinach. This sauce is used for cold fish entrees, or salad of vegetables cooked in salt water.[39]
In February 1856, the Huddersfield Chronicle and West Yorkshire Advertiser published a recipe for homemade mayonnaise in a segment entitled "The Housewife's Corner." This recipe included six egg yolks, half a bottle of olive oil (volume not otherwise defined) and one-half teaspoon of vinegar. The serving suggestion was to pour this over roast chicken or turkey, with garnish of lettuce and hard eggs.[40]
Modern mayonnaise can be made by hand with a whisk, a fork, or with the aid of an electric mixer or blender. It is made by slowly adding oil to an egg yolk, while whisking vigorously to disperse the oil. The oil and the water in the yolk form a base of the emulsion, while lecithin and protein from the yolk is the emulsifier that stabilizes it.[41][42][page needed] A combination of van der Waals interactions and electrostatic repulsion determine the bond strength among oil droplets. The high viscosity of mayonnaise is attributed to the total strength created by these two intermolecular forces.[43] Addition of mustard contributes to the taste and further stabilizes the emulsion, as mustard contains small amounts of lecithin.[44] If vinegar is added directly to the yolk, it can emulsify more oil, thus making more mayonnaise.[45]
For large-scale preparation of mayonnaise where mixing equipment is being employed, the process typically begins with the dispersal of eggs, either powdered or liquid, into water. Once emulsified, the remaining ingredients are then added and vigorously mixed until completely hydrated and evenly dispersed. Oil is then added as rapidly as it can be absorbed. Though only a small part of the total, ingredients other than the oil are critical to proper formulation. These must be totally hydrated and dispersed within a small liquid volume, which can cause difficulties including emulsion breakdown during the oil-adding phase. Often, a long agitation process is required to achieve proper dispersal/emulsification, presenting one of the trickiest phases of the production process.[46] As food technology advances processing has been shortened drastically, allowing about 1000 liters to be produced in 10 minutes.[47]
Imitations
Miracle Whip was developed as a less expensive imitation of mayonnaise.[48] Lacking sufficient oil, it does not meet the legal definition of mayonnaise, and so is marketed as salad dressing.[49]
Egg-free imitations of mayonnaise are available for vegans and others who avoid eggs or cholesterol, or who have egg allergies. In the U.S., these imitations cannot be labelled as "mayonnaise" because the definition of mayonnaise requires egg.[50][51] Egg-free imitations generally contain soya or pea protein as the emulsifying agent to stabilize oil droplets in water.[52] Well-known brands include Nasoya's Nayonaise, Vegenaise and Just Mayo in North America, and Plamil Egg Free in the United Kingdom.[53][54][55]
Uses
Mayonnaise is used commonly around the world, and is also a base for many other chilled sauces and salad dressings. For example, sauce rémoulade, in classic French cuisine, is a mix of mayonnaise and mustard, gherkins, capers, parsley, chervil, tarragon, and possibly anchovy essence.[56]
Chile
Chile is the world's third major per capita consumer of mayonnaise and first in Latin America.[57] Commercial mayonnaise became widely accessible in the 1980s.[57] It is a common topping for completos.[citation needed]
Europe
Guidelines issued in September 1991 by Europe's Federation of the Condiment Sauce Industries recommend that mayonnaise should contain at least 70% oil and 5% liquid egg yolk. The Netherlands incorporated this guideline in 1998 into the law Warenwetbesluit Gereserveerde aanduidingen in article 4.[58] Most available brands easily exceed these targets.[59] In countries influenced by French culture, mustard is also a common ingredient that acts as an additional emulsifier.[60]
Japan
Japanese mayonnaise is typically made with rice vinegar, which gives it a flavor different from mayonnaise made from distilled vinegar.[61][62] Apart from salads, it is popular with dishes such as okonomiyaki, takoyaki and yakisoba and may also accompany katsu and karaage.[63] It is most often sold in soft plastic squeeze bottles. Its texture is thicker than most Western commercial mayonnaise.[64] Kewpie (Q.P.) is the most popular brand of Japanese mayonnaise,[65] advertised with a Kewpie doll logo. The vinegar is a proprietary blend containing apple and malt vinegars.[66] The Kewpie company was started in 1925 by Tochiro Nakashima, whose goal was to create a condiment that made eating vegetables more enjoyable.[67]
Russia
Mayonnaise is very popular in Russia, where it is made with sunflower oil and soybean oil. A 2004 study showed that Russia is the only market in Europe where more mayonnaise than ketchup is sold. It is used as a sauce in the most popular salads in Russia, such as Olivier salad (also known as Russian salad), dressed herring, and many others. Leading brands are Calvé (marketed by Unilever) and Sloboda (marketed by Efko).[68]
United States
Commercial mayonnaise marketed in jars originated in Philadelphia in 1907 when Amelia Schlorer began marketing a mayonnaise recipe originally used in salads sold in her family's grocery store. Mrs. Schlorer's mayonnaise was an instant success with local customers and eventually grew into the Schlorer Delicatessen Company.[69] Around the same time in New York City, a family from Vetschau, Germany, at Richard Hellmann's delicatessen on Columbus Avenue, featured his wife's homemade recipe in salads sold in their delicatessen. The condiment quickly became so popular that Hellmann began selling it in "wooden boats" that were used for weighing butter. In 1912, Mrs. Hellmann's mayonnaise was mass-marketed and was trademarked in 1926 as Hellmann's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise. After numerous corporate iterations, Hellmann's is now marketed in the Eastern United States and as Best Foods Mayonnaise in the Western United States.[70] Mayonnaise sales are about US$1.3 billion per year in the U.S.[71]
Nutritional information
A typical formulation for commercially made mayonnaise (not low fat) can contain as much as 80% vegetable oil, typically soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, or corn oil,[72] depending on region of production, but, in specialty products, sometimes olive or avocado oil. Water makes up about 7% to 8% and egg yolks about 6%. Some formulas use whole eggs instead of just yolks. The remaining ingredients include vinegar (4%), salt (1%), and sugar (1%). Low-fat formulas will typically decrease oil content to just 50% and increase water content to about 35%. Egg content is reduced to 4% and vinegar to 3%. Sugar is increased to 1.5% and salt lowered to 0.7%. Gums or thickeners (4%) are added to increase viscosity, improve texture, and ensure a stable emulsion.[46] Mayonnaise is prepared using several methods, but on average it contains around 700 kilocalories (2,900 kJ) per 100 grams, or 94 kilocalories (Cal) per tablespoon. This makes mayonnaise a calorically dense food.[73]
The nutrient content of mayonnaise (> 50% edible oil, 9–11% salt, 7–10% sugar in the aqueous phase) makes it suitable as a food source for many spoilage organisms. A set of conditions such as pH between 3.6 and 4.0, and low water activity aw of 0.925, restricts the growth of yeasts, a few bacteria and molds.[74] Yeasts of the genus Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus fructivorans, and Zygosaccharomyces bailii are the species responsible for the spoilage of mayonnaise. The characteristics of spoilage caused by Z. bailli are product separation and a "yeasty" odor. A study suggests that adding encapsulated cells of Bifidobacterium bifidum and B. infantis prolongs the life of mayonnaise up to 12 weeks without microorganism spoilage.[citation needed]
Salmonella
Mayonnaise, both commercially processed and home-made, has been associated with illnesses from Salmonella globally. The source of the Salmonella has been confirmed to be raw eggs.[75] Several outbreaks with fatal cases have been recorded, with a few major incidents. In a 1955 outbreak in Denmark, 10,000 people were affected by Salmonella from contaminated mayonnaise made by a large kitchen. The pH of the mayonnaise was found to be 5.1, with Salmonella counts of 180,000 CFU/g. The second outbreak, also in Denmark, caused 41 infections with two fatalities. The pH of the contaminated mayonnaise was 6.0, with Salmonella counts of 6 million CFU/g. In 1976 there were serious salmonellosis outbreaks on four flights to and from Spain which caused 500 cases and six fatalities. In 1984 in the US, 404 people became ill and nine died in a New York City hospital due to hospital-prepared mayonnaise.[76][77] In all salmonellosis cases, the major reason was inadequate acidification of the mayonnaise, with a pH higher than the recommended upper limit of 4.1, with acetic acid as the main acidifying agent.[78] Some brands use pasteurized eggs which would reduce this risk factor.[79]
