Whatsapp Order


Soya lecithin is a natural substance derived from soybeans that is commonly used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and dispersant in food products, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial applications. It is composed of a mixture of phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol, which have unique properties that make them useful in a wide range of applications. Soya lecithin is typically extracted from soybean oil and is often added to foods as an ingredient to improve texture, increase shelf life, or facilitate the mixing of ingredients that would otherwise not blend together.

Hexane, a chemical solvent, is first used to extract the oil which is then processed through a process known as degumming which facilitates the separation and drying of the lecithin.
