Description
A culinary technique that uses an acid to stabilize emulsions, often in combination with lecithin or other emulsifiers.
Technical
Acid-based emulsification involves the use of an acid to create a negative charge on the droplets, which repels them and prevents them from coalescing. The acid helps to stabilize the emulsion by creating a pH gradient, which prevents the droplets from coming into contact with each other.
