emulsified

Suspended in droplets

Emulsified describes liquids that have been blended into a stable mixture where one is dispersed throughout the other in tiny droplets—like oil suspended in vinegar to make vinaigrette.

Without emulsification, such liquids would separate.

Mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce, and homogenized milk are emulsified products.

The chef emulsified the butter into the sauce.
