unemulsified
Refusing to mix
Unemulsified describes something that has not been mixed into an emulsion—a stable blend of liquids that don't normally combine, like oil and water.
Unemulsified fat floats visibly on soup; unemulsified oil separates from vinegar in a salad dressing.
The term appears in cooking and chemistry when components remain distinct rather than blended: The unemulsified butter pooled at the edges of the sauce.
