Product Information

Lecithin is a widely used phospholipid compound, mainly composed of phosphoglycerides, commonly found in plant and animal cells. It plays an important role in several fields such as food, medicine and cosmetics, mainly as an emulsifier, stabiliser and nutritional supplement. Lecithin comes from a variety of sources, including plants and animals. And Guanjie Biotech produces bulk lecithin from soybeans, sunflower, egg yolks and rapeseed, which is of reliable quality and meets different needs.

Plant Based Lecithin 

Plant-derived lecithin is the most common type in the market, mainly from the following plants:

1. Soy lecithin

Soy lecithin bulk is extracted from soybean oil and has high nutritional value and good emulsification properties. Soya is one of the main sources of lecithin. It is rich in phospholipid components, accounting for about 1-2% of soybean oil. Soya lecithin is often used as emulsifier, stabiliser and thickener in food processing. It is widely used in chocolate, pastry, salad dressings and dairy products. Soya lecithin is rich in phospholipids, fatty acids and bioactive substances, which have the effect of lowering cholesterol, improving liver function and supporting nerve health.

2. Sunflower lecithin

Sunflower lecithin is extracted from sunflower oil and is rich in phospholipid components. It is mainly used in the food industry and nutritional supplements. Compared to soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin is usually considered a non-GMO option. Sunflower lecithin has a lighter flavour and colour and bulk lecithin is suitable for applications where a change in product flavour is not desired.

3. Rapeseed lecithin

Rapeseed lecithin is extracted from rapeseed and is rich in phospholipids. It is mainly used in the food and feed industry. Rapeseed lecithin is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which help maintain cardiovascular health. Rapeseed lecithin has good emulsifying properties and is suitable for emulsifying and stabilising a wide range of foods.

Animal Lecithin

Lecithin bulk from animal sources mainly comes from eggs and cow's milk, and the following two types are common:

1. Egg yolk lecithin

Egg yolk lecithin is extracted from egg yolks and contains a high concentration of lecithin. It is mainly used in the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Due to the abundance of lecithin in the egg yolk, egg yolk lecithin has excellent emulsifying properties. It is commonly used to make sauces, salad dressings and mayonnaise. Egg yolk lecithin is rich in lecithin, vitamin A, vitamin D and cholesterol, etc. It has good nutritional and health care functions.

2. Milk lecithin

The lecithin content in cow's milk is relatively small, mainly found in cream and cheese. Milk lecithin is often used in the processing of dairy products, which can improve the stability and taste of the products. The nutrients in cow's milk lecithin are easily absorbed by the body and have good health effects.
