Soybean lecithin Usage
Food Industry – Used as a multifunctional food additive: as an emulsifier in ice cream, baked goods, and other products, it stabilizes water-oil mixtures and prevents fat separation or crystallization. It also acts as a wetting and dispersing agent in instant powders, allowing them to dissolve or disperse more quickly in water. It also acts as an anti-sticking agent, preventing products from sticking during certain food processing processes.
Nutrients – Used in dietary supplements, such as softgels or granules, as nutritional supplements for brain and liver health. It also acts as a metabolic support agent, aiding in fat metabolism and cholesterol management.
Industrial Applications – Used as an emulsifier and emollient in lotions, creams, and makeup products. It also acts as a dispersant and wetting agent, stabilizing pigments and ink formulations.
