we tested this in school today. it is an emulsifier but it didnt work too well in our experiment, the best was egg yolk! lol but yeah it is an emulsifier.
--edit--
Lecithin is an emulsifier.. and what is said above doesn't quite make sense, because lecithin is in egg yolk.

∙ 15y agoLecithin stabilizes emulsions.
It is used as an additive in many food products like ice cream and is a mild surfactant that adsorbs at the interface between two substances and reduces the tension between them.
Dish soap is a surfactant that acts on grease and water.

∙ 12y agoAn emulsifier is any substance that enables oil and water to mix together. It does this because it is both hydrophilic (attracts water) and lipophilic (attracts fat molecules.) Lecithin is a very common emulsifier. So if you add the right amount of lecithin to an oil and water mixture, and mix it up really really well, the two substances will mix together.
