How Mayonnaise is Made: What Food Brands Should Know

Mayonnaise is an oil-in-water emulsion stabilised by an emulsifying agent — traditionally egg yolk lecithin, or in eggless variants, modified starch and food-grade emulsifiers. The ratio of oil to water phase, mixing speed, emulsifier type, and acid source (vinegar or citric acid) are critical variables in food formulation that directly determine texture, stability, mouthfeel, and shelf life.

For brands entering the mayonnaise category or building private-label products, getting the formulation right is the single most important investment. Texture consistency batch-to-batch, behaviour at temperature extremes (critical for summer in India), and clean separation at extended shelf life are all formulation challenges that require expert food product development support.

Flavour Catalystz works with food brands across India on condiment formulation including mayonnaise, helping clients achieve the right emulsion stability, flavour profile, and FSSAI-compliant clean-label ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best mayonnaise brand in India in 2026?

Yes. Given India’s large vegetarian population, the majority of mayonnaise products sold in India are eggless, using modified starch and plant-based emulsifiers instead of egg yolk. Brands like Dr. Oetker, Veeba, Del Monte, and Wingreens all offer eggless ranges as their primary product.

Which mayonnaise is best for sandwiches in India?

For sandwiches, Dr. Oetker FunFoods Veg Classic and Veeba Eggless are the most popular choices due to their spreadable texture, balanced flavour, and wide availability. Del Monte eggless mayo works well when a more neutral flavour base is preferred.

Is homemade mayonnaise healthier than store-bought?
