An emulsifier is a substance that stabilizes an emulsion by preventing the separation of immiscible liquids. In the case of mayonnaise, oil and water - based components (vinegar or lemon juice) are immiscible. Lecithin in egg yolks acts to suspend the fat (oil) in the water - based phase, creating a stable emulsion. It has nothing to do with making foods easier to digest, reducing acidity, or bleaching foods.
