The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion comprising a gelled particle emulsifier derived from naturally occurring food-grade polymers, the emulsion preferably being in the form of a food product or a home care product or a personal care product or a pharmaceutical product. Emulsifiers are limited in their use as they can cause allergic reactions in some people. There is thus a constant need for alternative emulsifiers. The goal of the present invention is to provide a stable emulsion which can be used in a wide number of applications. Thus an oil-in-water emulsion comprising 0.001-50%, preferably 0.001-30%, more preferably 0.001-10% w/w oil and 0.001 to less than 0.5%, preferably 0.001-0.4%, more preferably 0.01-0.4% w/w a gelled particle emulsifier, wherein the gelled particle emulsifier comprises at least one gellable polysaccharide, wherein the gelled particle emulsifier has a largest dimension of 3-1000 nm, preferably 5-500 nm, more preferably 10-200 nm, and wherein the emulsion composition does not comprise further emulsifier.
