- A number of investigators have shown that the starting composition of a parent oil can have a major influence on its predisposittion to form stable water-in-oil emulsions (mousse). For example, the presence of natural surfactants in the wax, resin, and asphaltene fractions of oils has been positively correlated with the tendency to form mousse.

French
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
Originally from a dialect south of the Loire, from Vulgar Latin *muttius (compare Occitan mos), of Gaulish origin, or alternatively from Latin mutilus (compare Italian mozzo).
Adjective
mousse (plural mousses)
Derived terms
Etymology 2
From Old French mosse (“moss”), from Frankish *mosa (“moss”), from Proto-Germanic *musą (“moss”).
For the culinary sense one might suspect influence by Dutch moes, German Mus (both “mush, purée”). However, the metaphorical use of mousse for “foam” is older and the culinary sense can thence be derived without difficulty.
Noun
mousse f (plural mousses)
