Description
l Lecithin is derived from soybeans and appears as a light cream - colored, odorless powder. It is utilized due to its extensive functional, nutritional, and therapeutic characteristics. Lecithin represents a group of naturally - occurring phospholipids that are present in nearly every living cell. It serves as a crucial multifunctional active substance in the production of a diverse range of food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare products, and animal feeds, as well as in numerous other industrial applications.
l Lecithin serves as a natural dietary source of essential phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylserine. These phospholipids are fundamental components of life and are essential for the proper functioning of every cell membrane within the body.
l Soya lecithin is a versatile, natural, multifunctional ingredient widely used across industries for its emulsifying, stabilizing, and functional properties. Derived from soybeans, it is a rich source of essential phospholipids. It enhances product performance, stability, and quality across industries, making it invaluable in food, cosmetics, and healthcare applications. Its broad range of applications and health benefits make it a cornerstone of modern formulations.
