Answer to Question 1

An oil-in-water emulsion is one where the fat is dispersed throughout the water. These are common in salad dressing and milk. A water-in-oil emulsion is characterized by water dispersed through fat, such as in butter or margarine. Emulsions can differ as these two types, but still are defined as the dispersion of one liquid in another.

Answer to Question 2

Shortening has more plasticity whereas oil coats the flour particles and somewhat limits gluten formation.
