| 释义 | emulsion (once / 10163 pages) n Ever notice the separate layers of oil and vinegar in salad dressing? Give the bottle a shake and those layers combine in a process called emulsion or the combination of liquids that don't dissolve into each other. Emulsion comes from the Latin mulgere meaning to "milk out." Seems strange, doesn't it? But in the early seventeenth century, the term was used to describe the milky liquid that result from crushing almonds in water. Think of natural peanut butter and how it separates with a thick layer of oil on top. When you stir it with a long spoon, that's the process of emulsion, or a combination of two liquids that don't dissolve into each other.
