Mayonnaise is made from vegetable oil, lemon juice, and eggs.The oil and the juice would normally separate into two layers butthe lecithin in the egg yolks prevents separation by keeping themixture emulsified (mixed). Explain how lecithin can interact withboth the oil and the water. Be specific in using the structure ofthis compound in your answer and be sure to describe theinteractions in terms of intermolecular forces.
