Mayonnaise, as defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Standard of Identity, must contain at least 65% oil by weight, vinegar, and egg or egg yolks. It may contain spices and natural seasonings except turmeric and saffron, whose yellow color might suggest added egg yolk. Preservatives such as calcium disodium EDTA are acceptable and approved for use in mayonnaise.

What Aunt Alice makes, however, doesn't have to meet the standard of identity, nor does "low fat" mayonnaise.

The density of edible oils at body temperature varies a little; canola oil is a little less dense, for instance, but most commercial mayo is going to use soy oil, because it's cheapest, and it's 91% as heavy as water. Egg is about 5% heavier than water, and cider vinegar is virtually the same as water.

A reasonable guess would make mayo 95% as heavy as water. A pint (two cups) is a pound (454 grams), the world around, so multiplying 227 grams by 95% would be 216 grams.

Depending on the recipe used, it would probably be 22 grams, plus or minus 5 grams.

How many cups in a gallon of mayonnaise?

This is a liquid measurement, but the weight in pounds is approximately 8. I got this by taking the liquid measure of the mayonnaise (128 fluid ounces) and dividing by 16 (ounces in a pound). Usually, an ounce of something that is water-like weighs about an ounce. If you wanted an exact number, you would have to find the specific gravity of mayonnaise and multiply it by the 8 pounds. Or, if you have an empty jar of the same brand of mayonnaise, with the label still attached, and preferably the same lot number, you could weigh that to get the "tare weight," then weigh an unopened jar ("gross weight") and subtract the tare weight to get the net weight.
