Lecithin: The Unsung Hero of Everyday Enhancement

Lecithin might operate behind the scenes, but its impact is undeniable. Its versatility ensures it's an unsung hero in many products we encounter daily. It's a fatty substance found in many plants and animals. Extracted from oils, it's a mix of choline, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, phospholipids, and phosphoric acid.

Our in-depth knowledge of lecithin equips us to appreciate the subtle nuances that enhance our everyday experiences. Lecithin boasts a range of uses:

  • Food: Lecithin mixes ingredients like oil and water, which usually don't blend well. It's in salad dressings, chocolate, and baked goods. It also enhances food texture and extends shelf life.
  • Feed: For animals, lecithin boosts energy and makes fats easier to digest. It's essential for their health and growth.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Medicines use lecithin as a carrier. It helps deliver active ingredients and plays a role in making medications.
  • Chemicals: Beyond consumption, lecithin replaces petrochemicals in products like paints and lubricants.

SpecializedLecithin Products: Fractionation, Hydrolysis, and Beyond

Lecithins, derived from plant-oils, have an array of versatile applications due to their unique properties. We offer a range of specialized lecithin products:

  • Fractionated Lecithins: Available in both PC-enriched and PC-depleted forms, our custom fractionated lecithins guarantee a specific phospholipid (PL) profile. This distinct profile is beneficial for certain nutritional and pharmaceutical applications, where lecithin can be employed as a health ingredient, wetting agent, emulsifier, or stabilizer.
  • Hydrolysed Lecithin: Created through an enzyme treatment, hydrolysed lecithin can be tailored to exhibit a higher polarity in its phospholipid molecules. This characteristic grants it superior emulsification properties, making it ideal for a range of applications.
  • Other Specialized Lecithins: Beyond fractionation and hydrolysis, our offerings extend to: Fluidized Lecithins, Filtered Lecithins, Compounded Lecithins

With our comprehensive suite of specialty lecithin products, we are committed to catering to diverse industry needs. Whether you're in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, or any other sector requiring high-quality lecithins, we have the perfect solution for you.
