This dual affinity makes lecithin effective for smoothing food textures, emulsifying powders, homogenizing liquid mixtures, and preventing materials from sticking. It can be extracted chemically using solvents like hexane, ethanol, and acetone, or mechanically, and is typically sourced from soybeans, eggs, milk, marine sources, rapeseed, cottonseed, and sunflower. Although lecithin has low solubility in water, it serves as an excellent emulsifier, capable of forming liposomes, bilayer sheets, micelles, or lamellar structures in aqueous solutions, depending on hydration and temperature, thus functioning as an amphipathic surfactant. Lecithin is commonly sold as a food additive and dietary supplement. *𝗕𝘆 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲: Soybean Lecithin, Rapeseed Lecithin, Sunflower Lecithin, Other Lecithins *𝗕𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Food and Beverage, Animal Feed, Medical Products, Other *𝗕𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East & Africa *𝗕𝘆 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀: ADM, Bunge, Cargill, DuPont, Lipoid, Stern-Wywiol Gruppe, Austrade, Inc., Denofa, LECICO GmbH, Sun Nutrafoods, Louis Dreyfus Company, DANISCO A/S, Wilmar International #Lecithin #Emulsifier #FoodAdditive #DietarySupplement #HealthyFats #Phospholipids #SoyLecithin #EggLecithin #NaturalIngredients #NutritionalBenefits #FoodTexture #Amphiphilic #LipidNutrition #PlantBased #HealthFood #MicelleFormation #Homogenization #FoodScience #FunctionalFood #OrganicLecithin
