==History==
'''Mayonnaise''', often abbreviated as '''mayo''',<ref name=Merriam-Webster>[[Merriam-Webster]]. [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mayo mayo.] Retrieved 2010-12-23.</ref> is a thick, creamy sauce often used as a [[condiment]]. It is a stable [[emulsion]] of [[oil]], [[egg yolks]] and either [[vinegar]] or [[lemon juice]],<ref name=def>"Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil droplets suspended in a base composed of egg yolk, lemon juice or vinegar, which provides both flavor and stabilizing particles and carbohydrates." ''On Food and Cooking,'' [[Harold McGee]], [[Charles Scribner's Sons|Scribner]], New York, 2004 page 633.</ref> with many options for embellishment with other herbs and spices. [[Lecithin]] in the egg yolk is the [[emulsifier]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/eggs/eggscience.html |title=Science of Eggs: Egg Science |publisher=Exploratorium.edu |date= |accessdate=2011-11-17}}</ref>

*In "[[Hooky]]," according to [[Mr. Krabs]], the only perspective of being in a Tuna can is the smell of a mayo.
Mayonnaise varies in color, but is often white, cream, or pale yellow. It may range in texture from that of light cream to a thick [[gel]]. In countries influenced by [[French culture]], [[mustard (condiment)|mustard]] is also a common ingredient, but the addition of mustard turns the sauce into a [[remoulade]] with a different flavor and the mustard acts as an additional emulsifier.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.practicalchemistry.org/experiments/emulsifiers,125,EX.html |title=Emulsifiers&nbsp;— Experiments |publisher=Practical Chemistry |date= |accessdate=2011-11-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scienceprojectideas.co.uk/making-emulsion.html |title=Making an Emulsion |publisher=Science Project Ideas |date=2010-10-01 |accessdate=2011-11-17}}</ref> In Spain, Portugal and Italy, [[olive oil]] is used as the oil, and mustard is never included.
