How much aquafaba for vegan mayo? Quantity calculator
Mayonnaise is a ratio before it is a recipe: so much oil for so much aquafaba. Tell the calculator how much mayo you need and it works out the aquafaba and the oil, plus the mustard, the salt and the lemon juice, in liquid or in powder with its water, from the VERY AQUAFABA recipe. Updated: .

What changes with a bigger batch of mayo, and what doesn't
Aquafaba, oil, mustard, salt, lemon juice, powder and water scale in a straight line. Two things do not.
- Temperature. The aquafaba goes in chilled, at 4 to 6 °C, for one batch or for ten. Warm aquafaba gives a slow, unstable emulsion.
- Shear. The oil goes in as a thin, steady stream with the blender at full speed. Large batches need a high-shear blender to control droplet size and keep the emulsion stable.
Made hygienically and refrigerated at once, the mayo keeps up to 7 days in the fridge whatever the batch size.
How much mayonnaise will you get from a pack?
Knowing how much mayo you make a week, here is what each pack is worth.
| Pack | Batches | Mayonnaise, about |
|---|---|---|
| 1L Tetrapak of liquid | 16 | 8,000g |
| 10L bag-in-box of liquid | 166 | 83,000g |
| 200g pouch of powder | 50 | 25,000g |
| 3kg pouch of powder | 750 | 375,000g |
A batch uses so little aquafaba that even a 1L pack goes a long way, so the question is whether you use an opened one within 3 to 4 days. If not, the powder waits. The vegan mayo guide settles it.
Example: preparing 2kg of mayonnaise for the week
Say your kitchen goes through about 2kg of mayonnaise a week. That is 4 batches of the recipe, and here is what it comes to:
- Liquid: 240g of VERY AQUAFABA, 1,200g of oil, 40g of mustard, 20g of salt and 80g of lemon juice or vinegar, replacing 8 egg whites' worth of aquafaba.
- Powder: 16g of powder made up with 240 ml of water, then the same oil, mustard, salt and lemon.
- Equipment: at this volume, move to a high-shear blender and drizzle the oil in a thin, steady stream.
Transfer to clean containers and refrigerate at once: the 7 days of shelf life start there.
