| Commercial
Mayonnaise |
Commercial
mayonnaise producers pasteurize the egg yolks, or freeze
them, and substitute water for most of their liquid, or use other
emulsifiers.
Commercial products
typically replace much or all of
the egg yolk with water, requiring the addition of lecithin or other
emulsifiers from sources such as soy (some commercial mayonnaises may
thus be appropriate for vegans). "
Commercial mayonnaises
are more typically 65-70% fat.
Low fat" mayonnaise
products contain
starches, cellulose gel, or other ingredients to simulate the texture
of real mayonnaise.
Commercial mayonnaise
sold in jars was born on
Manhattan's Upper West Side. In 1905, the first ready-made mayonnaise
was sold at Richard Hellman's delicatessen on Columbus Avenue, between
83rd and 84th Streets. In 1912, Mrs Hellman's mayonnaise was mass
marketed and called "Hellman's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise."
