Emulsifier

Soya Lecithin

Source: Soya bean
Composition: Phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI)
Function: Emulsifier, antioxidant, wetting agent, improver, viscosity agent
Approved use: Food, feed, industrial and pharmaceutical additive

Soya Lecithin is extracted from soya bean and consists of three phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol. It is used as a food, feed, industrial and pharmaceutical additive and is one of the most widely used natural emulsifiers worldwide. Packing runs from 20 kg plastic drums to 200 kg iron drums, and liquid, powder, NON GMO, water soluble, hydrolysed and modified variants are all part of the range.

Quality control

Supplied against the agreed variant specification with TDS and MSDS at shipment
Sample COA available on request
NON GMO status confirmed in writing where that variant is ordered

Where it is used

Emulsification in candy and chocolate
Baking and wafer production
Ice cream crisps and frozen confection
Feed, industrial and pharmaceutical additive use

Who buys it

Chocolate and confectionery manufacturers
Bakery and wafer producers
Ice cream and frozen dessert plants
Feed and pharmaceutical formulators

Problems it solves

Chocolate viscosity too high for moulding without raising the cocoa butter dosage
Separation in emulsified systems that need a natural rather than synthetic emulsifier
NON GMO sourcing requirements from a retail customer
Needing a water-soluble or hydrolysed form for an aqueous system where standard lecithin will not disperse

Packing and options

Liquid or powder form
NON GMO / GMO free grade
Water soluble, hydrolysed or modified lecithin
20 kg plastic drum, 200 kg iron drum, or packing to customer need

How it compares

Standard liquid lecithin is the economical default for chocolate and baking. Choose the powder where dry blending is easier, the water soluble or hydrolysed grade where the system is aqueous and standard lecithin will not disperse, and the NON GMO grade where the end customer audits soya origin.

Handling and storage

Store in a cool, dry, ventilated place away from any fire source
Keep sealed, protect from light and rain, and keep away from strong acid or alkali
Transport lightly and protect the packaging from damage
