Spanish term or phrase: Agua de Polen
Hi all, I came across this term, "Agua de Polen" apparently a substance used to produce mayonnaise and other emulsified edible and non-edible substances. In this case it's a patent for a new type of mayonnaise : )

Any idea what the translation into English might be? Thanks!!
