emulsify
Mix immiscible liquids
To emulsify is to combine two liquids that don't naturally mix—typically oil and water—into a stable, uniform mixture called an emulsion.
The process requires agitation and usually an emulsifying agent: Whisk the oil slowly into the egg yolk to emulsify the mayonnaise.
Salad dressings, sauces, and cosmetic creams depend on emulsification to hold together.
