Usage

General Description

Lecithin is a naturally occurring fatty substance found in the cells of all living organisms, including plants and animals. It is commonly used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in food and industrial applications due to its ability to mix oil and water. Lecithin is composed primarily of phospholipids, which are essential components of cell membranes and are important for the proper functioning of the nervous system, liver, and cardiovascular system. It is often derived from soybeans, eggs, or sunflower seeds, and is commonly added to foods to improve texture, shelf life, and consistency. Lecithin is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other products due to its emulsifying properties.
