What are emulsifiers in the food industry?

Food emulsifiers work as a surface-active agent that acts as a border between two unmixable liquids such as oil and water, allowing them to be blended into stable emulsions. Food emulsifiers help the stabilization and formation of emulsions by reducing the surface tension at the oil-water interface. These emulsifiers also reduce stickiness, prevent separation, and control crystallization.
