Today’s Task
Event: I planned to develop eggless mayonnaise today
How I felt it (initially before executing the actual task): I find formulating innovative products exciting.
Actual Task:Product formulation
A semisolid oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion known as mayonnaise is formulated by carefully combining oil, vinegar, egg yolk, and spices, predominantly mustard. Eggless mayonnaise has had a high demand for many years, which could be attributed to an increase in the vegetarian and vegan populations. Selecting the correct quantities of the ingredients was crucial, which included two types of potato starches, water, sugar, and mustard. Additionally, lemon and herbs were added to enhance the flavour of the product. Few preservatives were added to extend the product’s shelf life. The high-shear technique was employed to prepare this product. The main challenge of formulating the eggless vegan mayonnaise was that the texture should be smooth with a glossy appearance, giving a desirable mouthfeel. Once the ingredients were collected, the eggless mayonnaise was formulated, which had an excellent flavour profile. The product was then stored at an ambient temperature for shelf-life analysis.

The product turned out delicious since it was formulated after extensive trials. However, we would like to conduct further trials to improve its texture.
A better formulation with an improved texture could have been carried out.
